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 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)

This poem captures the essence of deep, enduring love in its simplicity and sincerity. Cummings' unique style and heartfelt emotion make it one of the most beloved love poems in literature.

love is more thicker than forget by E.E. Cummings

love is more thicker than forget

more thinner than recall

more seldom than a wave is wet

more frequent than to fail

it is most mad and moonly

and less it shall unbe

than all the sea which only

is deeper than the sea

love is less always than to win

less never than alive

less bigger than the least begin

less littler than forgive

it is most sane and sunly

and more it cannot die

than all the sky which only

is higher than the sky

Cummings’ wordplay and fresh metaphors convey how love is paradoxically simple and complex, fleeting and eternal. His style is free-form, playful, yet profoundly evocative, making this poem a favorite for its tender, unconventional depiction of love.
