Lady, I Will Touch You with My Mind
Lady, I Will Touch You with My Mind - meaning Summary
Mind as Intimate Touch
Cummings presents an intimate, playful declaration of desire framed as mental contact rather than physical touch. The speaker insists on touching the addressee "with my mind," repeating the wish to provoke a private, knowing smile. The imagined touch is gentle and careful; through it the beloved is envisioned as becoming the poem the speaker cannot write. The poem blends erotic longing with artistic aspiration and restraint.
Read Complete Analyseslady, i will touch you with my mind. touch you and touch and touch until you give me suddenly a smile, shyly obscene (lady i will touch you with my mind.) Touch you,that is all, lightly and you utterly will become with infinite care the poem which i do not write.
