since feeling is first
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 eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis
i know now not to trust the rising sun
i know now not to trust the rising sun
when darkness is what i deserve
will this wish be my last?
in the shadows i'm safe
in the light i am not me
the girl who plays a part under the lights
but come after darkness
come with me
i'll show you my true self
come with me
and let yourself fade into
the night.

i like your poem. it is very deep. and goes into great depth. You wrote very similar to the way e.e cummings did.
Beautifully written Sam. Your critics apparently appreciate your craft.
I really liked "in the shadows i'm safe in the light i am not me
the girl who plays a part under the lights."
Very cummings-esque in terms of the structure of the poem. Well done!
