i carry your heart - 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)

*grins* I'm glad.

And no worries, I love sharing poetry.

I love this poem. I'm going to just sit here and stare into its face dreamily for a while, if you don't mind.

(Also loved "Dark August" and the Hakkai/Kanan association. So perfect!)

Hee. Feel free; it makes me want to do that, too. It's just so... alive, and loving, and singing.

(Oh, good! Also, I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one who saw that connection.)

Mmm, that's a favorite.

Same here. I used to have it memorized, even, but I haven't thought about it often enough and forget the words.
