I Carry Your Heart With Me (I Carry It In)

I Carry Your Heart With Me (I Carry It In)
                       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 is one of my favorite poems by E.E Cummings.
Inspirational words from a true poet.

Missing Half

The one man trusted most
was suddenly no longer a part of her life.
Security and comfort was what seemed to have been lost.
All that had been left were unanswered questions,
questions that one desperately seeked.
From that day on,
she seemed to have been missing a part of her that was once so grand.
Dull smiles and eyes filled with sorrow were surfaced.
The flame within slowly dying,
his touch being the only source of light.
Being drawn into temptations caused the most damage,
knowing no knowledge of the wrong.
As time passes the lost soon returns,
Still learning the meaning of forgiveness, accepts.
Not wanting to follow in the fools footsteps.

The Artist

With the flick of your wrist and the stroke of my bristles,
We can achieve great color both bright and dull.
You reach for me in the time of need,
As if I'm the remedy that you seek.
Neither I nor time can fix your pain,
And I know you're suffering greatly.
You smile as if everything is alright,
But the wet strikes that lay upon your face reveal discomfort.
No words are spoken,
Just tears gently streaming.
A cry out for help is much too loud,
Leaving nothing but scars to tell your story.
With the fear of rejection occurring once again,
You hide in hopes of disappearing into thin air.
Instead of thinking of loved ones and that boy who made you feel.
You sit here holding me in your hand asking "Why me Father?"
Waiting for an answer,
A response from up above.
You pull me across your wrist time and time again,
Demanding Him for strength to put an end to your master piece.

Autumn's Suicide

They slip away from abandoned bodies like lost souls,

their pathetic bones crunching beneath my feet.

I try to assemble them back together

so that their helpless lives may endure.

But they are much too brittle and broken

as they shrivel up in autumn’s crisp touch,

already decaying between my fingertips,

their veins empty of the breath that gives them life,

their skin bleeding sad, faded rainbows that

penetrate through their pigmentation,

casting an aesthetic glow in the sun’s regenerating grasp. 

Ironically, their suffering is somehow alluring.

You know what really grinds my gears?

  Darling, it's lunch time right now and I have decided that I am going to try this new "blog" thing out. So I've been sitting here in the library for about ten minutes just thinking of random topics to write about; my dog, this funny looking child, who happens to be writing a sonnet next to me (my bf), the colors of the sky, the juicy twitter beef that's going on, how wonderful whip cream tastes... I have no idea. I really enjoy peace and quite, especially when I am reading, writing, sketching, etc. I'm sure most people do. Oh hi, annoying children who have decided to sit next to me. Wow you two are speaking very loudly about your plans for this weekend... WE ARE IN THE LIBRARY, do you mind? Anyways, it's taking every single bit of my soul to not say something. I mean, people know that they're supposed to be 'quiet' in here, right? (common sense) They are sitting right next to each other and they are yelling, what the heck man. So yeah, this is what is currently grinding my gears today so far. Well Adios fellow followers xoxo Des.
