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)

There is a light here
that shines from the moon
and sends me gentle
to sleep

There is a song here
that comes from the ocean
and guides me safely
to truth

There are colors here
that come from the sun
and sends me quiet
to my place

There is a whisper here
that comes from your tears
and embraces me eternal
to life

I am not gone
I am just waiting
Until
we meet
again

(for my dear friend, Kim. love, sarah)

The triumph of roses
speak in thorny response
the ambition of sunshine
sings its own secret song
the greed of life
whispers to innnocent ears
flights of fancy chuckle
as they zoom past
the buffoonary of butterflies
the wisdom of the sky dances
in cerulean blue everlasting.
