Final Moon (Free verse) by Caducus

You touched me last night Like Sikh hands on apricots Your eyes slave white Journeyed through the voil For a moon that was average. I never touched you last night Like English hands on apples My eyes slave wet Journeyed through yours But the moon had passed. We touched again today Like surgeons on my Father Our eyes now imperial Journeyed through the voil For a sunrise that blinded us.

I like some of the images, but they don't really join into a whole. Is this love? "surgeons on my father" says gentle to me, which is what I think you are going for. At the same time, the image of surgeons on my father reminds me of blood and sickness, rather than love. What are "English" hands? "slave", "voil", "blinded", "average"

All those words in this poem just confuse me.
