Reflections of a Man's Heart

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 far 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

 

- e. e. cummings
