Contests #3

[collectingpups]

Hello everyone! I'd love to see more involvement this week. And don't forget to vote!

Our Open Contest is inspired this week by one of my favorite poems:Pablo Neruda's "I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You"I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it's you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.

In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.
Our Themed Contest is orchids. I have found two beautiful pictures, and you must use one of these pictures in your icon.
