Salt Rose and Topaz
“
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul
The Gemstone Line
How does it sound? Why does it work?
The poem
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz
Or the arrow of carnations that burst from a fire.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
In secret, between the shadow and the soul.
Give the gift of love!
