i carry your heart with me.

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]

-e.e.cummings.



so beautiful. i wish i had love like that sometimes.
i love the exaggeration.
i feel like if you said things like that to
someone these days, they would think you were crazy.


i'm going to try and draw or paint
something to go with this.
i think watercolor would be cool
once i have some time.

i have a huge list of drawings i want to do.
but no drive.
i have one tattoo to draw, which has to be done
soon. but other than that...i feel like i draw
for only myself. this is why i want to
be a tatto artist, and once i get back in school
i will begin my search for an apprenticeship!


i am also going to apply for a word.
see here;

seems she already has a lot of volunteers
but i think it's worth a shot. would be cool.

-mints.

and p.s. i love e.e. cummings because,
like myself, he preferred lowercase letters.
