just a little EE Cummings...

The first time I heard this poem I thought...damn...that's exactly how I feel about the man I love. I printed him out a copy and he said to me, "wow. That pretty much sums it up doesn't it?" I was over at his place the other day and to my surprise I saw the poem tacked up on his bulletin board along with some photos of the two of us. I smiled that he kept it, that it meant something. So...I just wanted to thank EE and share his words. If you ever feel this way about someone...I hope they are fortunate enough to know. :-)



i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
