More than kisses, letters mix and mingle souls

To Cherry Ginkgo 

More than kisses, letters mix and mingle souls;
More than words, feelings travel across space.
Tonight they threaten to get out of control. 
They demand a place, they want to leave a trace.
Won't your heart open the door?
Need I say something more? 
I guess I do, so here is some e.e.cummings for you:

since feeling is first
who pays any attention 
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world 

my blood approves, 
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
---the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph 

and Death I think is no parenthesis
