it is at moments after i have dreamed by E.E. Cummings

it is at moments after i have dreamed by E.E. Cummings
it is at moments after i have dreamed
of the rare entertainment of your eyes,
when(being fool to fancy)i have deemed
with your peculiar mouth my heart made wise;
at moments when the glassy darkness holds
the genuine apparition of your smile
(it was through tears always)and silence moulds
such strangeness as was mine a little while;
moments when my once more illustrious arms
are filled with fascination, when my breast
wears the intolerant brightness of your charms:
one pierced moment whiter than the rest
-turning from the tremendous lie of sleep
i watch the roses of the day grow deep.

There is such an intimacy in his poems. It's as though the words were given to him for safe keeping, to be used with deep feeling.

Yes, I agreed, wonderful poetry.
