Love Poems


E.E. Cumming's poem, "i carry your heart" describes well the emotions and experiences I'm feeling at the moment towards someone special. Hmm, I'd best keep it captured in this poem I've written, "All Our Bones & Dust". I'm not the most articulate person in expressing emotions face to face. I'm more of an introverted poet, who captures those emotions and experiences in writing form. Here's a beautifully crafted video of E.E. Cumming's poem, "i carry your heart":

smiles..nice use of the nature elements in your poem...as symbolism of the feelings...threading the heartwoods...its cool....def very cummings-ish...

Thanks :) I'm glad you appreciated the use of nature elements as symbols of the emotions I'm feeling. I was worried that this poem might've been a bit obscure, and that it required extra attention to detail for understanding, but I'm really glad and relieved that you enjoyed it!

...this is wonderful Vuong... like Brian i enjoyed the careful references to nature... not easy not able to express your feeling to its intended recipient... i am rather an introvert type well that's give me more chance to be meditative t'wards everything that disturbs my curiosity... smiles... hope you get to reveal your heart with that special someone...

From the image evoked in the title, to the question of emerging life in the last two lines, you make an offering for continuity of life, and our quest for it. (And in such a positive tone!!)

Glad it hit the mark Kelvin, I think introverts are good in that like you said, gives us more of an opportunity to observe things from a different, beautiful perspective. We can't all be extroverts! The world will be a loud, deaf place otherwise :) Thanks for the wishing with revealing what's in my heart to that special someone :) God will show the way if its part of His plan :)

Great analysis of this Baker! I'm really glad that this poem was appreciated :) I like to write with a sense of family, spirituality and hope!
