Soul Controlled



You were leaning over the rustic, wooden bridge.

Elements of a cold autumn eve approaching.
I just was entranced by the sea of you.
Black full hair, corduroy pants, tweed jacket.

Book of our favored poet, rested on the bridge lustily.
~ ee Cummings, his poetry blessed our union, for eternity.
That magnificent, modern poetry, not meant to be in any form.
Still lights my soul and will for all eternity!

"Kisses are a better fate than wisdom." ee Cummings

"Life is not a paragraph, and  death, I think, is no parenthesis."
 ee Cummings

These words upon my heart, then and now......
And for the brilliance of eternity.......

11/7 Almost 8:30am Sending you ee Cummings..some quotes and poetry. Note the Poems. " since feeling is first" and " I like my body when it is with your body"~These are the Ones that influenced the dance of my life- have never been more moved by any poet. He makes me feel forever young. I am not at intellectual or word afficiando! Boring. I am a poet of the heart not head. I can't watch Romeo and Juliet without weeping! Enjoy, Tom, dearest poet! Love, Pangie x

WRONG, I write about him in all my love poetry. Even recently...you missed them. They were well done. I love, love the mystery)) I even mentioned the city he was from. At least, you notice him, love you for that. Getting cold here, at long last. Thank you Dearest Silent One.. Panagiota xxx with extra hugs! Note to you. I have a severe vision problem. Any typo corrections by Soupmail only...thank you
