I Carry Your Heart by 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 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)

I couldn't sleep last night and decided to watch a movie 'In Her Shoes' (by Cameron Diaz & Toni Collette). It's a great movie by the way :) This poem was featured in the film and used in a wedding scene near the end. I was so glad to have watched the movie and learned about this truly beautiful poem by Cummings. The words may seem simple yet if you really feel the poem it has a truly deep meaning of a profound love. I think this is the best love poem I've ever read & it's definitely my fav =)
