E. E. Cummings

since feeling is first

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
Liked or faved by...
