since feeling is first

I have always loved poetry.
With a fiery burning passion, 
and one of my all time favorite poets in the world
is e. e. cummings.
I adore e.e. cummings

Today, I discovered one of his poems 
and fell in love with it.

.  .  .

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 

.  .  .
