favorite poem...ever?

i carry your heart with me

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)

ee cummings

ee cummings is one of my favorite poets. Ever. His poems are so unique, especially their structure. I love writing them out, because it really make me focus on the way he's written the poem, the way the words and phrases blend together or contrast each other.

And this poem...it just...it feels like it reaches out and grabs onto my soul. Maybe that sounds dramatic, but it's a good description of how it makes me feel. I am inside this poem when I read it, when I think about it. The wonder that keeps the stars apart...that's what this poem makes me feel.
