Weaving The Song

Wednesday, February 14, 2007

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in: ee 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)


A Valentine poem for my sweetie. One of my favorite poems, from my favorite poet.

Eloquent, emotional, beautiful, unique, straightforward in an obscure way... all these things that she is, and more -- like this poem.

Getting right to the heart of it all.

About This Blog

And such as it is to be of these, more or less, I am And of these one and all I weave the song of myself. -- Song of Myself, Walt Whitman ** My goal: to read one poem a day, and record my impressions/thoughts about them here in this blog. Why? To recultivate an appreciation of poety, and to bring more joy and beauty into my life. Poetry touches something deep within me, something that doesn't get much voice in my busy everyday life. This is an attempt to reach out to that place, and weave my own tapestry so that the outside matches the inside more closely. Thoughts? Comments? Please post!
