i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite a new thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like,, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh....And eyes big love-crumbs,
and possibly i like the thrill
of under me you quite so new

Ooooh, I really like this one. It blends biology with romance. Quite the turn-on. Thanks for posting this.
**shuffling off to look for Jason...**

Glad I could help, Aine (and Jason).

Forget oysters. This poem is my favorite aphrodisiac.
Oh, yes. Love crumbs. Innocence at its best. :-)
I like it. And I like that I can share in it too.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing it.
I also like your choice of photo for this poem. :-)
Um, feel free to post more poems like this. Yeah.
Oh my. I do believe this is my new favorite poem.
I'm glad you all enjoyed this one as much as I. e.e. cummings is my favorite poet, and this might be my favorite poem of his. It's electric.
Maybe I'll post another one soon. :)
I love cummings as well. He was such a groundbreaker in tearing apart conventional lines and yet retaining the beauty of his thoughts. Thanks for sharing. I also like "My sweet old etc." by e.e.
I just looked up that poem, Billy. And you're right, it was wonderful. cummings is so playful, yet his unconventionality is never a barrier to finding the heart of his language. I just love him.
Thanks. :)
Lovely!!! As gorgeous as free verse can get.
Thank you for sharing. :o)
