love poem analysis

I chose the poem "Somewhere I Have Never Travelled" by E.E. Cummings.  Cummings view on love resembles a flower opening and closing with the seasons.  He gets across the idea that the woman he loves makes it difficult to think, and in turn can use this manipulatively and to her advantage.  This idea is very similar to the way I see love.  It is something that causes people to do crazy things, typically due to the failure to think it through.  Love causes you to act rashly, and make decisions that you  may regret.  Those who love each other enjoy the time that they spend together more than anything else, and I feel that Cummings and I see love in the same way.
