Anyone's Face

You sprawled in my gaze, staring back from anyone’s face

About
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.

From 'Sonnet XVII' - Pablo Neruda.

A little community where I ([info]ebonybeach) will be posting any fanfiction I write. At the moment, it is most likely to be from the Bridget Jones's Diary fandom. For my Doctor Who and Green Wing fanfic, see my old journal [info]ebonybeach (under the tags "Fic" and "Green Wing Fic" respectively).

This is the poem which inspired this community:

Uninvited, the thought of you stayed too late in my head.
so I went to bed, dreaming you hard, hard, woke with your name,
like tears, soft, salt, on my lips, the sound of its bright syllables
like a charm, like a spell.

Falling in love
is glamorous hell: the crouched, parched heart
like a tiger, ready to kill; a flame’s fierce licks under the skin.
into my life, larger than life, you strolled in.

I hid in my ordinary days, in the long grass of routine,
in my camouflage rooms. You sprawled in my gaze,
staring back from anyone’s face, from the shape of a cloud,
from the pining, earth-struck moon which gapes at me

as I open the bedroom door. The curtains stir. There you are
on the bed, like gift, like a touchable dream.


'You' by Carol-Ann Duffy.
