Somewhere i have never travelled

In this poem, it talks about love and how delicate it can be. "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." (lines 1-4) When it talks about the eyes having silence; it has meaning behind it. The eyes can tell a story, or describe how someone is feeling. "Your slightest look easily will unclose me". (line 5) It seems to me that this person is really in love, because when it mentions how the slightest look will unclose them, they must have no control of there feelings. Love is a very serious thing that some people don't realize. For instance, if someone is in love with another person, but the other person doesn't want to be with them it can be very heartbreaking. " You open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens" (line 7) This line is explaining  that the love that this person has is becoming more and more stronger for the person. A person can develop a stronger form of love when they spend more and more time with that person. There are different types of love. A person may think that they are truly deeply in love with someone, but it may only be puppy love. A person that loves another person deeply shows that they care, and there affection for the other person. The person when stick with them no matter what if they truly do love them. The feelings are expressed in this poem of how much love the person expresses for the other. " 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". (lines 17-19) The love this person sees is stronger than all the roses. Roses can reprsent a form of love when it is given to someone as a gift. I feel as if this poem is explaining how delicate love is for anyone. "Nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands". (line 21) The feeling of love can be delicate in different forms. Someone may express kindness, fluttering eyes, or be sweet. They are signs a person may like the other person. The person in this poem is showing they do care about the person but the other person may not feel the same way. It never explains if the other person does love them back. Love is a wonderful thing for anyone to experience, but can be dissapointing for some. Love hurts sometimes if one person is still in love with the other. A person can't made to love that person, it has to be the feelings they feel. I believe the title of this poem wants readers to realize that some people that haven't experienced the feeling of love eventually do and it may end good or bad depending on the relationship that exists between the two.
