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 flower. Don’t cry
the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids flutter which ways
We are for each other – than laugh
lean back in my arms
for life’s not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis.
