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

god. e.e. cummings never ceases to impress me beyond words.

i cannot agree with you more. Earlier the only poem of e e cummings that i liked was "somewhere i have never travelled.." most of the others that i came across were his form-poetry - that only amuses me, but doesn't excite. His love poetry on the other hand seems to have no parallels. i can't seem to have enough. Thanks for posting this one.

i used to not like cummings at all. until i read "can i feel" he said. and everything changed. i also can never have enough.

welcome :)
