Haiku (for you)

love between us is

speech and breath. loving you is

a long river running.

Unknown Title

I looked and saw your eyes in the shadow of your hair

As a traveller sees the stream in the shadow of the wood

I looked and saw your heart in the shadow of your eyes

As a seeker sees the gold in the shadow of the stream

I looked and saw your love in the shadow of your heart

As a diver sees the pearl in the shadow of the sea

-Dante Gabriele Rossetti
