Lit Inspiration: E.E. Cummings

I'm no romantic. I'm not expressive or demonstrative. Life has taught me that it's both a weakness and a strength. However, literature never fails to crumble my wall. I want to be romantic and emotional so I could write like this and let the words drip from my tongue like honey. 

This is my lit inspiration for today. 


I Carry Your Heart with Me by E.E. 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 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)
