What do you think this poem is about?

Come Close

Come close, and look into my eyes
Scan my soul and soothe my cries
How can I savour a life`s favour?
Had been rouged by Delilah's clever.

Lured my fancies and verses undone
As was Samson in the temple of Dagon,
Wrinkled weird wane and wailing
Desolate distress and has been ailing.

Dreamt of days
When sorrows hew and joys grew
With the rising sun till evening dew
Wandering far and never adieu,

Ah! Soon my soul is ceased to be
Wish thy mercy have on me.

    It is a somber, serene cry of a heart waning for love...sweet symphony
    alliteration... weird, wane and wailing is beautiful

    You need mercy -
    but -
    with or without love? -
    You search be patient -
    and found something -
    wandering from your hands. -
