poem for michael

“Somewhere I have never traveled
Gladly beyond any experience
Your eyes have their silence
And your most frail gesture of things
Which enclose me
But which I cannot touch
Because they are too near.”



“oh, if your words be to close me
I, my life will shut, very beautifully
Suddenly, as when the heart of this flower
Imagines the snow carefully, everywhere
descending”.


“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.

My favorite part:
"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."
SO SO BEAUTIFUL Thank you for sharing this!
