love: words that express L O V E

so you find yourself racing down, rushing around the city... once in a while you glance up & catch the subway's poetry in motion... & this poem written by Bei Dao, this was written in 1973, the first time the poet fell in love! & is really beautiful:

Between me and the world,
You are a calendar, a compass,
A ray of light that slips through the gloom,
You are a biographical sketch, a bookmark
A preface that comes at the end.

Between me and the world,
You are a gauze curtain, a mist,
A lamp shining into my dreams
You are a bamboo flute, a song without words
A closed eyelid carved in stone. -- A Bouquet, by Bei Dao
