I love you

I love you in spite of me, without effort or wings, safe from the shipwreck that lies in wait for me.

I love you in the free hollow of my hands, without even touching you, without remembering your skin, without waiting for it.

I love you in the vertigo of the motionless bird, naked on the threshold of our eternity, a home inhabited by the single heartbeat.

I love you to feel life in all directions … They all lead to you, all are born from you, I am a traveler by your nature.

I love you empty: the night is my soul loving you; my breath is the light in your pupils.

I love you by grace of the lord of time, for the gift that appreciates your image in the world, for the space where I am with you.

I love you without purpose: the weather carved my nameless surrender.

I love you to toast your existence, before the death in which we will wake up.

Te amo

Te amo a pesar de mí, sin esfuerzo ni alas, a salvo del naufragio que me acecha.

Te amo en el hueco libre de mis manos, sin rozarte siquiera, sin recordar tu piel, sin esperarla.

Te amo en el vértigo del ave inmóvil, desnudo en el umbral de nuestra eternidad, un hogar habitado por el solo latido.

Te amo para sentir la vida en todas direcciones… Todas llevan a ti, todas nacen de ti, viajero soy por tu naturaleza.

Te amo vacío: la noche es mi alma amándote; es mi aliento la luz en tus pupilas.

Te amo por gracia del señor del tiempo, por el don que agradece tu imagen en el mundo, por el espacio donde soy contigo.

Te amo sin propósito: la intemperie talló mi rendición sin nombre.

Te amo para brindar por tu existencia, ante la muerte en que despertaremos.

you don’t know how to love me with words, you say, hands shivering slightly while they skim like startled birds over the plains of my hipbones you say you are unedited novel, broken spine, bad nightmares, that if i’m not careful i’ll be sucked into the silence where it’s so cold i forget how to inhale but you do know how to kiss me like i’m your anchor and how to make beds feel like castles and when to bring me hot chocolate even if i didn’t ask for it and you let me marathon disney movies and make cookies even if it’s two in the morning and when you laugh about something it makes my heart race and i just want to sit in sunbeams with you and eat bagels and discuss ethics and read books to each other until we both fall asleep so quiet though your love may be my dear your quiet love is the only one for me.

“you don’t know how to love me with words, you say,
hands shivering slightly while they skim like startled birds
over the plains of my hipbones you say you are unedited novel, broken spine, bad nightmares,
that if i’m not careful i’ll be sucked into the silence where
it’s so cold i forget how to inhale but you do know how to kiss me like i’m your anchor
and how to make beds feel like castles and
when to bring me hot chocolate even if i didn’t ask for it and
you let me marathon disney movies and make cookies
even if it’s two in the morning and when you laugh about something
it makes my heart race and i just want to sit in sunbeams with you
and eat bagels and discuss ethics and read books to each other until we both fall asleep so quiet though your love may be
my dear
your quiet love is
the only one 
for me.” Sunflower love. // r.i.d (via inkskinned)
