    Pablo Neruda's poem expresses how the speaker loves their partner in an obscure, secretive way that is hidden between the shadow and soul. The speaker loves their partner like a plant that doesn't bloom outwardly but carries the hidden light and aroma of flowers within itself, and through their partner's love this earthly aroma now lives dimly in the speaker's body. The speaker loves their partner without understanding how, when, or where this love came from, but loves directly and without problems or pride, as they know no other way to love except in this form where neither the speaker nor their partner are themselves but are so close that their dreams and hands unite them.

    One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII

    BY PABLO NERUDA
    TRANSLATED BY MARK EISNER

    I dont love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz,


    or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
    I love you as one loves certain obscure things,
    secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
    I love you as the plant that doesnt bloom but carries
    the light of those flowers, hidden, within itself,
    and thanks to your love the tight aroma that arose
    from the earth lives dimly in my body.

    I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,


    I love you directly without problems or pride:
    I love you like this because I dont know any other way to love,
    except in this form in which I am not nor are you,
    so close that your hand upon my chest is mine,
    so close that your eyes close with my dreams.
