by e.e. cummings
somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously) her first rose
or if your wish be to close me,i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands
somewhere i have never travelled

Hi Caca,
E. E. Cummings is one of my all time favorite poets. So sorry that I was out of circulation for a week. Our computer bogged down again and we have to replace a major component. It's relatively old already and always breaks down. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will hold on indefinitely. Thanks for the exquisite poetry. God bless you always.
Just passing by to say hello and have a nice day my young friend. Thanks for visiting my blog and for the wonderful comments you left behind. God bless you always my young friend.
