e.e. cummings - i like my body when it is with your

i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite a new 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 quite so new

A friend from UK introduce me to EECummings...
Thanks to him and thanks to Google...
EECummings catch with a spontaneous and simple way
the sensuality of a human couple...pure emotions with
a high level of erotism...

this poem has resonated with me for 20 years. the sheer simplicity is breathtaking. it is both raw and eloquent: a sublime and evocotive combination.
