The best love poem you'll ever read- share yo favs

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 17, 2009, 7:36 PM



What I'm feeling like today...


Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda

I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as certain dark things are loved,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries
hidden within itself the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving

but this, in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.

Why have you stopped posting ACTUAL journals?

Because school + social life = no journals.

Heheh... Panic is life! :heart: I met them last year and my friend and I thought it'd be an awesome idea to give them a necklace made of buttons because of the 'eating buttons' line in this song. They didn't realize what it was for until I screamed out as we were forced out of the signing:"Necklace! She's a Handsome Woman!"
It was funny seeing P@TD have an epiphany. ^^
