I love you without knowing how, or
when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without
complexity or pride
so I love you because I know of 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.
~Pablo Neruda 1904-1973
from Sonnet XVII

Pablo Neruda is one of my favorite poets. Cien Sonetos de Amor is I think one of the best collection of love sonnets of all time. I especially like the one called "I Crave Your Mouth": http://journals.aol.com/musenla/Amused/entries/160.
