I carry your heart

I absolutely adore 'i carry your heart' by ee cummings, it's my favourite love poem as it so lovingly old school compared to anything nowadays where love is fraught with troubles and woes. It describes a love that is incredible and beautiful almost like a fantasy. The hopeless romantic that I am when I read words about a love that is not bound by time or geography, for that love is kept within the adoring walls of their lover's heart, makes my own heart melt. Cummings writes that his love is with him wherever he goes and whatever he does she does also even when she is not physically with him, like they're the same person. It reminds me of Catherine describing her and Heathcliff's relationship that they are the same person. Although this relationship appears much less destructive and volatile than Catherine and Heathcliffs.  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
