I love her for

I love her,
for all that she is
and all that she is not

I love her as the earth
loves the sun, its life
awaiting its each dawn
to let its darkness pass
then embrace light, life
that beloved brings with it

I love her as a dew drop
holding on to the leaf
on which it was formed
hiding in darkest places
for it not to be taken
by the light - sun's rays

I love her as a child
who knows no other being
in this melee, crowd of people,
as someone who holds my hand
who holds me in her embrace
communicating heart to heart

I love her as a celestial lover
where the adobe of my heart
holds only her in its embrace
the window of my soul knowns
just that image, that face
alive with each beat of heart
