Carrying a heavy heart....

I just have a little request....Don’t call me darling.....Don't call me sweetie...Don't call me honey.....Don't call me sugar.....Don't call me dearest...


I have a name....

Use it....

Unless you really are sincerely and absolutely....

My Luv...

If you are....

Baby, go right ahead....

And while you are at it....

Go ahead and eat my heart....

And carry it with you....

For once it has been taken....

It will never come back...

....to me....


....because it is my doing....





A little E. E. Cummings comes to mind....

Oldie, but a goodie....

His work inspired me as a young girl....

As my untailored writing shows,

Always my Favorite....

Brings back a fond memory of an old friend, Jim.... and me reciting this poem one night in the old high school kitchen:

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)

Jim - Remember that one? A true artist's rendition of that poem. Too funny! The whole scene still brings a smile to my face.

Anyway....

I guess this is why I am so heartless and so cold....

Winter air?

No....

I foolishly gave my heavy heart away....

Now it is kinda hollow right....

here....

.....

What???

What is that I feel???

A little beat...

A faint tremor....

Oh!!!

It isn't all gone!!


I left a little....

Didn't give it all away...

I left a little there - - Just for me!




Come on!

A person can't be a person....

Cannot be strong, passionate, desiring, wonderful, or loved....

If they can't love their own self.
