e.e. cummings - if there are any heavens my mother will

if there are any heavens my mother will(all by herself)have
one.  It will not be a pansy heaven nor
a fragile heaven of lilies-of-the-valley but
it will be a heaven of blackred roses

my father will be(deep like a rose
tall like a rose)

standing near my

(swaying over her
silent)
with eyes which are really petals and see

nothing with the face of a poet really which
is a flower and not a face with
hands
which whisper
This is my beloved my

			         (suddenly in sunlight

he will bow,

& the whole garden will bow)

The poem was very dull the first time i read it, but when i took the time and read it the second time the poem was very touching. Gimpy from United States Comment 5 of 6, added on May 4th, 2006 at 1:45 PM. This poem is a bit hard to follow in the beginning but if you read it a second time you will better understand it and realize that it is a great work of poetry and is very deep.
