e.e. cummings


An untitled poem by e. e. cummings          
 
 
since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
 
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers.  Don't cry
---the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says
 
we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph
 
And death i think is no parenthesis
