What does this poem mean?

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

What does this poem mean?
the auther means, that when there is love it seems neverending. and that love makes you think and be a little crazy. someone you love and be so close to you one moment and yet so far away at the next!
Reply:I think it's about a man who can't make up his mind if he loves this woman or not and the woman doesn't think she is ready to love someone.
Reply:i think it menas in some ways ur really close but in others ur really far away and hes not sure wat to do
