The uncountable love poems of e.e. cummings have reached the ears and hearts of many. "since feeling is first," "You and tired" and "somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond," all conclude that somewhere people really do love each other. The speaker in these poems loved the subject so much that he is ready to give up everything for her.
             A poem full of love, "somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond," demonstrates the love a man has for a woman. The passage,

             Another extremely romantic poem, "since feeling is first," declares how much a man loved a woman.
             "lady I swear by all flowers. Don't cry-
             the best gesture of my brain is less than
             laugh, leaning back in my arms"
             e.e. cummings creates a setting with flowers, a very romantic gesture. Romantic gestures bring romantic feelings, the speaker then proclaims his deep emotions for this woman. The very flutter of her eyelid becomes far greater than the deepest thought he has ever had. He is humble to her, for he sees all the greatness in her and realizes he cannot do without her.
             Lines fourteen through eighteen demonstrate the romantic theme of love in "You are tired."
             "But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight,
             and I knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart
