When I look at him,
I find my eyes cannot focus
Even though he is lovely enough to gaze upon forever

My eyes are restless,
For my attention given to anything for longer than a twinkling
Makes me cognizant of the passing of time
and the moment I have yet to seize.

i carry your heart with me

Doodle in Journal 2000

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 with me (i carry it in my heart)

-E.E. Cummings
