Whispers from a Lokean wife....

I Carry Your Heart With Me ~ 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;
and whatever is done by only me is your doing
I fear no fate
For you are my fate
I want no world for you are my world
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

Quote by Rainer Maria Rilke

Put out my eyes, and I can see you still, Slam my ears to, and I can hear you yet; And without any feet can go to you; And tongueless, I can conjure you at will. Break off my arms, I shall take hold of you And grasp you with my heart as with a hand; Arrest my heart, my brain will beat as true; And if you set this brain of mine afire, Then on my blood-stream I yet will carry you.
