I carry your heart with me by e.e. cummings

Here's a poem that I have just heard for the first time. Honnestly, there seems to be a melody to the way those words have been put together which just gets to me. The style and sincerity you hear when you read his work has a nice gentle tone... I had to post it!!... I hope you like :D


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)
