Heart of My Heart

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)

  4. I love bleeding hearts. They were my paternal grandmother's favorite. I never met her as she passed away when my dad was just a teen, but I think of her whenever I see bleeding hearts.

    Thanks for the photo.

  9. Perfect words for this lovely white bleeding heart. Soooo many people don't realize that white ones exist. P.S. discovered your blog thru Kate's post on your get together in NY.
