I Carry Your Heart With Me E.E Cummings

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 the 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)


This is one of the most inspiring and beautifully moving poems I have read. It illustrates a love that is only lost in the material world, but can never be lost in the heart. Like family, a lover or a friend. Be true to who you are and what/who you love, and do not take it for granted, because you never know when you will lose this kind of love.
