Amy Banker - New York Artist

Anna Akhmotova 1915

There's a sacred limit to any closeness,

even the passionate fact can't transcend,

though in fearful silence lips on lips may press

and the heart love tears to pieces and won't mend

and friendship is powerless

and years

of intense high-minded happiness,

where the soul is free, a stranger to fears

of the slow langorous of passionate excess.

Those who strive to reach it play the part

of madness,

and those who succeed are stricken - and

Now you understand why my heart

is not beating beneath my hand.

There is a sacred, secret, line in loving

which attraction and even passion cannot cross -

even if lips draw near in auful silence and love tears at the heart.

Friendship is weak and useless here,

and years of happiness, exalted and full of fire,

because the soul is free and does not know the slow luxuries of sensual life.

Those who try to come near it are insane

and those who reach it are shaken by grief.

So now you know exactly why

my heart beats no faster under your hand.
