I love writing, and used to write a lot more than I do now (yes, even poetry - but that was a lifetime ago).
Fans of "In Her Shoes" will be familiar with the poem Cameron Diaz reads during the wedding scene. I thought this poem was lovely and not just because it featured in a decidedly uber-girly chick flick 
And here it is:
i carry your heart by E.E. Cummings
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 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)
