I carry your heart with me!

I'm really fond of poetry!
I just love listening to or reading good poems and my friend Aastha usually reads them out to me because her course includes all that!
I just pick up random poem books and get into them at the library.
I just heard this poem in the movie 'In her shoes' and I really liked it.
As a child too, I've loved poems more than stories.
I've tried my hand at poetry but haven't written that great. 
So here's the poem I heard today. And I absolutely adore the feeling with which she reads it out to her sister on her wedding as a wedding gift! Amazing :)



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.

& 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,
Is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.

I carry your heart,
I carry it in my heart.
-Edward Estlin Cummings.
