Thy fingers make early flowers of
Thy fingers make early flowers of
all things.
thy hair mostly the hours love:
a smoothness which
sings,saying
(though love be a day)
do not fear,we will go amaying.
thy whitest feet crisply are straying.
Always
thy moist eyes are at kisses playing,
whose strangeness much
says;singing
(though love be a day)
for which girl art thou flowers bringing?
To be thy lips is a sweet thing
and small.
Death,Thee i call rich beyond wishing
if this thou catch,
else missing.
(though love be a day
and life be nothing,it shall not stop kissing).
~ E.E. Cummings

ReplyDelete@KB; Thank you 😊 heading over to read you💞☕
ReplyDeleteNice prompt poem. I'm not so romantic, my girl went the wrong way. I like e.e., especially after reading his historic novel, "The Enormous Room." Thank you, Sanaa.
ReplyDelete..
I've never read that e.e. cummings poem before - it's wonderful, Sanaa! Please excuse me if I post and run this evening but I'm in the middle of packing for my trip down to Hampshire to visit my daughter for her birthday. I will be up early in the morning and will do some reading and commenting then.
ReplyDeleteI'm joining with a piece on desire tonight.
