I Carry Your Heart: by E.E. Cummings
February 12th, 2006[ a poem by e.e. cummings, for valentine's day ]
i carry your heart with me
i carry it in my hearti am never without it
anywhere i go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darlingi fear no fate
for you are my fate, my sweet
i want no world
for beautiful you are my world, my trueand it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is youhere 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 aparti carry your heart
i carry it in my heart
—-E. E. Cummings

the original syntax and structure of the poem is below… my apologies if i re-interpreted its structure:
. . . .
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)
