The Journey
By Mary Oliver

One day you finally knew
What you had to do, and began,
Though the voices around you
Kept shouting
Their bad advice—
Though the whole house
Began to tremble
And you felt the old tug
At your ankles.
"Mend my life!”
Each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do
Though the wind pried
With its stiff fingers
At the very foundations
Though their melancholy
Was terrible.
It was already late
Enough, and a wild night,
And the road full of fallen
Branches and stones.
But little by little
As you left their voices behind,
The stars began to burn
Through the sheets of clouds,
And there was a new voice
Which you slowly recognized as you own,
That kept you company
As you strode deeper and deeper
Into the world,
Determined to do
The only thing you could do---
Determined to save
The only life that you could save.

Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something. They're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take. - Anthony Robbins

[2myladyblue]

in my body where yours slept around me
like the gold grass hollow
deer leave in the morning meadow
or the curve of a white rib
beached on the rocks
I carried back to admire
along the path to my door
A tenderness is yours I feel for
the mountain which centers my life
We are wary of old words used
to describe these circles
We awaken at dawn leave each other dreaming
slip into the wild edge where reason fails
your branches shelter
mine flower

I Like a Woman Who Packs

not because she wants to be a man because she knows
I want a butch
who can loop my wrist with leather, whisper Stay right here
I have something I need to do to you
who can smile wide when I ask her to dance
because I've noticed the bulge in her pants
Tells me to come back for a slow number
because she doesn't do fast
I like a woman who'll make me beg her for it
Ride me till I forget my name, the date
the president, prime minister & every head of state
I like to sashay down the street a bit
with her watching my legs & breasts & ass
while I watch her hands & mouth
& the neighbors gasp
I like a woman who can make me over
into whatever she wants
as long as she wants
I like a woman who can make me over
into whatever she wants
as long as she wants
wet & hungry to my heart
I like it when she grabs my hair
says Don't move until I tell you
I like a woman who packs
stands behind me in a crowded room leaning into my back
whispers in my ear
Hey you wanna give it up to me?
I like her tall or short heavy or slim
walking or riding a chair brown or pink old or young
I like a woman who can take me under
wen she takes me over
then let me suck her, get in trouble, snap her gloves
I like a woman who wants to be
the best fuck I've ever had
I like a woman who snacks

When we are together I stay awake all night
When I'm on my own I cannot sleep
Blessed be God for these two insomnias
And the difference between them.
