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)

Absolutely beautiful imagery and earnestness. The only poem that I feel can take on the intense romantic poetry of Neruda. Cummings seems to pour out his soul sharing in the brackets his deeper thoughts and feelings, elaborating further into the surface value meanings of the other lines. Beautifully written.

Its a heart touching poem. I watch the movie In Her Shoes only to listen the poem. As far as movie is concerned, it is excellent. The girl I loved, died of blood cancer in 1999. I Still love her a lot. She was my life, my dream, everything to me. on 1st of July was her bithday. I went to Mother Teressa, s home and served people ther and at the prayer cermoney I recited this poem dedicatin her.
