Sarah Flanigan - Poetry Simply Put

(I do not typically post others’ work here, but today I was reading and came across, this, one of my most favorite poems and I just had to post it. To share it. I hope you love it as I do. Sarah)

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 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)

(this poem was inspired by curious c and this post - sarah)

Doorways lead to many things
to castles and secrets
mama’s aprons strings

To dreams, potions and the truth
where hope and desire
does patch the roof

To faeries, demons and wild yarns
whose adventure and giggles
does bring no harms

To hearts and minds, your very soul
pathways and inroads that
speed toward your goal

To home, hearth and fires warm
a welcoming chair
to wait out the storm.
