&quot;i don&#039;t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz or arrow of carnations that propagate fire: i love you as one loves certain dark things, secretly, between the shadow and the soul.&quot;<br /> -Pablo Neruda

we wrote with only vowels
and all those foul
scintillating scaly words
one would find
in shakespear.

and you cried and i slept
while the sun
turned milky and cascaded
broken rays upon the silver
hills and steaming forests
till it fooled me and i thought i loved
the moon.

you emptied me of everything
now fill me...with you.

&quot;It&#039;s just that...I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It&#039;s the universe&#039;s way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It&#039;s how life is.&quot;
