Song of Myself by Walt Whitman
I am the poet of the Body and the poet of the Soul. The pleasures of heaven are with me and pains of hell are with me. The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translate into a new tongue. I am the poet of the woman the same as the man, And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man, And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of men... |

There is Value in the Struggle by Will "Story" Rivera
Rule #40 11/24/15 There Is Value In The Struggle Although, obstacles are truly inevitable in all of our lives, they are not without purpose. I believe there is a grand design behind everything that happens and those very obstacles are put in place to be the tools to aid us in our own personal and spiritual conscious evolution. The most important fact to remember when dealing with some of the lowest, darkest, saddest, most hurtful and emotional wreck of a time in our lives, is that we are not free from the pain of a situation, but we are free to transform that painful situation into an opportunity for our growth - should we choose to open our hearts accept it. Difficult roads are only treacherous when we fail to see the opportunity, everything that we experience serves to expand our growth and ultimately align us with who we truly are deep within, that's the greatest of all, to be fully aligned with our true self during every moment of every day. Every time we accept a challenge, we are summoning the courage, faith and the means of overcoming it – all of which dwells within us, we tap into the energy of our highest self, We reach in and tap into the powers of our highest self and serve to remind us that we are NOT helpless, hopeless, and lost. All our strength, all our courage, all our answers lay dormant within us; nothing will be able to us hold us back for too long, choosing to have confidence in ourselves is the key to this process, think of it this way, the more we trust ourselves the less we will perceive anything as an issue or a painful situation - everything that happens to us has potential to transform into some of our greatest opportunities for growth - Giving up is no longer an option! ~Will "Story" Rivera |
“You must let what happens happen. Everything must be equal in your eyes, good and evil, beautiful and ugly, foolish and wise.”
― Michael Ende, The Neverending Story |

Torn Torn between thoughts
famished in doubt I hold in my hand my soul bleading out \Torn in confusion famished in pain I look around as my life feels so plain \Torn between worlds famished in guilt I hold in my hand your soul to rebuild \Torn between lives famished in sleeplessness I hold in my hand my soul for which to rebuild \Torn between love famished from thought we hold in our hands each others hearts. |

Remembering your scent, wherever I saw a flower I smelled it and tears began to pour wherever I saw a cypress in the meadow, I kissed its feet in memory of you. ~ Rumi |

I love this poem and it bugs me that when I see it online it almost always has the first two stanzas missing. I think some people don't get it.
Bukowski is not referring to a literal knife. He's expressing his grief over the end of a relationship and saying that he won't blame her for hurting him. When he calls her 'little dark girl' he's referring to her mood/personality not her coloring, but she is probably much younger than him... https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...53bb1a9064.jpg |
