what does this mean to you?

[mandence]

love is a place
& through this place of
love move
(with brightness of peace)
all places

yes is a world
& in this world of
yes live
(skilfully curled)
all worlds

-e.e. cummings

This is the kind of poem that makes poetry come alive. It is not the stuff of delicate little rhymes or cheesy soul searching; it is vibrant, alive, and overpowering.
e.e. cummings wrote poetry that still breathes and mingles with the people. It is not poetry intended to merely appeal to literary circles and bald headed critics (coughing ink, to quote Yeats), it is poetry written for the reader.
It is the type of poetry you read to people and share with people without embarrassment, without having to explain anything. It speaks for itself, and it speaks loud and clear.
This is something special, and I would highly recommend it to anybody interested in poetry or art of any kind.
