    E.E. Cummings
    “i like my body when it is with your
    body. It is so quite new a 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 so quite new.”
    e.e. cummings

    “The Rose

    Have you ever loved a rose,
    and watched her slowly bloom;
    and as her petals would unfold,
    you grew drunk on her perfume.

    Have you ever seen her dance,
    her leaves all wet with dew;
    and quivered with a new romance—
    the wind, he loved her too.

    Have you ever longed for her,
    on nights that go on and on;
    for now, her face is all a blur,
    like a memory kept too long.

    Have you ever loved a rose,
    and bled against her thorns;
    and swear each night to let her go,
    then love her more by dawn.”
    Lang Leav
