i carry your heart with me

if any of you have seen that wedding scene from In Her Shoes..or follow American poetry, then you may know this one:

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)

written by e.e. cummings, 'i carry your heart with me' is now one of my new favourite poems (i realize i'm probably a little late on this, but im discovering!). i'm not usually one for the mushy-mush, but i can appreciate this poem because of two things: 1) it reads like a song..this could easily be spun into a radio-ready R&B hit and 2) the writer expresses a bold honesty in their feelings that i like. at first i thought it had a sadness to it, but now i realize he's just...declaring his love. here's to not caring what you feel.

i know we're lost, but soon we'll be found

it was mid-january when i bought the Some People Have Real Problems album--an impulse buy while waiting for my coffee at a Starbucks in DC. thank goodness, i wasn't dissapointed. its really hard to describe Sia's music, and her voice--truly an instrument itself--lends to the soulful/indie/folky sound that i've grown to love.

i'm really dissapointed i missed this performance on David Letterman since all I seem to watch nowadays is late night TV. someone sent the link via Msngr to me, so *thanks!*
at first glance, i thought she was wearing some weird gloves, but her hands are painted themselves. enjoy...



even kanye (or his ghost blogger?) gave her props today. i love this song especially because its SO honest about relationships. (sometimes you just dont wan't to fight because you've drained all the living blood of me! hahaha..just kidding.) and it still manages to be positive at the same time.

new anthem!!

i always love hearing what kanye has to say. its always relevant. too bad he's hurting ;(

photo love.

i've been doing my usual idle browsing on the internets, and came across this site. it invites up and coming photographers to submit photos of the person most important to them. the collection is funny, irreverent, and slightly addicting as i wait to hear from the ones i love...
