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 with me
    I carry it in my back pocket
    With a smallish pistol,
    3 baguettes and
    Bits of a heart-shaped locket.

    Being a antipodeon primitive I had not discovered Cummings.His stle -non style-is remarkable in its immediacy and delicacy ie.” here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
    and the sky of the sky of a tree called life ”
    This is just one example but I am finding so many more. Ilove his work. Would like to see his visual works if anyone can dirct me to a site with this it would be great.

    liberating a captive soul
    Almost two years ago my significant other of 20 years was diagnosed with dementia. At first I was allowed to visit him but as time progressed his children placed him with a care giver and with his ex wife in a place near the beach. I am glad he is near the beach, I share his love of the water, but I am no longer allowed to see him because it upsets his ex wife because she is still in love with him after more than thirty years of being apart. His children allow no contact between the two of us. If he speaks up it is seen as confusion on his part and I am seen as a threat to the relationship between he and his ex wife and the imaginary reunification of their family after many years. I had conversations with him when I was still allowed to see him and he assured me this was not an arrangement he wanted. However, it has come about and, I feel, he is somewhat imprisoned by his children and ex wife. I continue my life, my career, and my travels because we were never married I have no legal rights to request any contact. He has short term memory loss and some mild confusion but is still much the same other than that. The poem expresses so much of how I feel about his situation. He no longer has the freedom to travel with me nor does he have the ability to go places he wants on his own. So I feel on some soulful level he travels with me because I carry his heart in my heart and it is my only connection with him. The poem brings tears to my eyes whenever I read it. I wish I could send a copy to him to read also. I hope he knows I carry his heart in my heart.

    i have never liked poetry nor tried to understand it, but this is one poem that captivated my heart, and i will always carry it in my heart.at that moment i heard it being read by cameron Diaz, i knew that is how i felt about my mother and that wherever she goes or whatever happens to her or me “I WILL ALWAYS CARRY HER HEART IN MINE” it has never been easier to say your true feelings in a more poignant way and for that i thank EE cummings!!!!!

    My daughter hand wrote this poem in my Mother’s Day card.
    She knows it is my favorite. It brought tears to my eyes. It reminds me of the deep love and bond that I feel for my mother, two daughters and my grandaughter. It is a love so great and strong that it will go on forever. Whenever I say good-bye or write a note to them, I close with “I carry your heart in my heart.” Thank you and bless you E.E. Cummings for such beautiful words.
