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.

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.
