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 the 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

personification
From guest Tony (contact)
Is this poem a personification , Irony, argument or paradox. -
Has there ever been a better poem capturing the celebration of pure romantic love and being alive to experience it? I think not.
