a poem to start the year - courtesy of 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
you 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
