Love Poems

As an English major, I was always a fan of poetry.  Love poetry is my favorite, because I find it so relatable.  We’ve all felt the longing and the adoration and the frustration of being in love.  The title of my blog is taken from one of my favorite love poems by 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 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
