I love this poem as it appeared on FOX's Tru Calling (Episode 20) I have
really captured what the author is trying to say.

This poem to me attempts to capture the essence of love in it's truest,
most pure sense..."the root of the root,....the bud of the bud..." It also
engages cummimgs belief in nature and emotion, as he uses the sun, the
moon, the stars associating them with his love.

This is an unconventional love poem, but expressing sincere and true
feelings towards his beloved. The poet's use of language is note worthy.
The opening line itself summarises the "oneness" of the two-- "i carry
it(Your heart) in my heart". That's why the poems ends up with the
repetition of the opening line, reemphasing his love for her.

I am singing the John Duke arrangement of this piece, as well as writing a
full poetic analysis on the poem. It means so much to me because it
expresses the true and endless feelings I have toward to love of my life. I
love you Joey with all of my heart!

The poem shows true emotion. You don't get that much from people today.
The love is so real and shown well in this poem.

This work expresses a deep yearning for someone who is not with you,
someone you long to be with. Perhaps, a love lost whose very memory
controls your every move and has a hold on your heart. This poem expresses
these feelings for someone I lost. Joe, I miss you.

Please find the wonderful musical presentation of this poem by Michael
Hedges. Crosby and Nash do the background vocals. It is just spectacular.

i believe this poem is about one person who is desperately in love with
another person. he is experiencing the intertwining of his soul with
another person. everything he does, says, thinks, and feels seems to be
connected to her in some way and maybe even that he kept her in his
mind..."your doing." overall, a very beautiful poem.
