I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Sonnet XVII, Pablo Neruda

"Happy Valentine's Day, Everyone!"

how very very beautiful the words of the poem touch so tenderly with your creation John. Such an elegant piece of art. Gently the flowers within the box merge with the one above. Colours flowing from one to the other. Pablo Narudo writes with such deep feelings. Much like what I would love to be able to write like. Thank you for another beauty my friend. Verena

From my estimation, if you can get those foofies to grow out of that box like that, you would make one durn tootin' good gardner. Maybe even a high tech farmer, too.
Excellent image, John. You baffle me with stuff like this. I wouldn't know where to begin.

I would say love is in the roots not in the bloom Shads. The bloom is what we see, but the roots are what we feel. Just an opinion from an incurable romantic. Great post.
