“But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.”

“you are deep spring in me:
in you I know again how I am born.”

“light makes its bed beneath your big eyelids”

Some of these poems are so extremely beautiful and some so very raw. I enjoyed the book a lot.

This was the perfect gift from my sweetheart, for a highly romantical person. I can't even choose a favourite poem.

Required reading:
-Your Laughter “laugh at this clumsy boy who loves you”
-Your Feet “when i cannot look at your face i look at your feet”
-The Insect “from your hips to your feet i want to make a long journey”

Shoutout to “because you are the cup that was waiting for the gifts of my life”
emotional mysterious reflective sad medium-paced

started reading in november 2023. it is now december 2024. i am going to start over.
medium-paced

I’m a nature girlie myself but I couldn’t keep up with how many metaphors you used to equate your lover to nature, it felt all the same by the end. And I got the sense that most of them were s*xual references, but honestly it started to blur together. All love though, Pablo <3

Beautiful thoughts on love. More of an experience than merely reading words on a page.
