Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart! Else it may be their miserable fortune, when some mightier touch than their own may have awakened all her sensibilities, to be reproached even for the calm content, the marble image of happiness, which they will have imposed upon her as the warm reality. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne,The Scarlet Letter~

'Twould ease -- a Butterfly -- by Emily Dickinson

'Twould ease -- a Butterfly --

Elate -- a Bee --

Thou'rt neither --

Neither -- thy capacity --

But, Blossom, were I,

I would rather be

Thy moment

Than a Bee's Eternity --

Content of fading

Is enough for me --

Fade I unto Divinity --

And Dying -- Lifetime --

Ample as the Eye --

Her least attention raise on me --

"When I lay with you, I could stay there, close my eyes.

Feel you here forever, you and me together, nothing gets better.

But theres a side to you, that I never knew, never knew.

All the things you would say, they were never true, never true.

And the games you would play, you would always win, always win."

I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!

Dr. Seuss

I can read in red. I can read in blue.

I can read in pickle color too.

I can read in bed, and in purple. and in brown.

I can read in a circle and upside down!

I can read with my left eye. I can read with my right.

I can read Mississippi with my eyes shut tight!

There are so many things you can learn about.

But…you'll miss the best things

If you keep your eyes shut.

The more that you read, the more things you will know

The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

If you read with your eyes shut you're likely to find

That the place where you're going is far, far behind

SO…that's why I tell you to keep your eyes wide.

Keep them wide open…at least on one side.

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)

I don't want to fall asleep.
Not at night anyway.
I like the night.
Reminding me of you.
Of us.
I don't want to fall asleep at night.
Every time I do, there is a day at the other end.
I don't want to see the harsh light daytime brings.
Too many details revealed.
You'll never know.
I'll never say.
It kills me how easily you walked away.

Don't fall in love with a poet.

They'll decipher you with their wit.

Then cunningly reveal you to yourself.

In words that uncomfortably fit.

If You Forget Me

by Pablo Neruda

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine

Phenomenal Woman

by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

When did I cross that line between simplicity and complication?

Did I sleep through that day?

When did I allow myself to get caught up in this charade of

"I love you" and "If only"?

What happens if I decide I'd rather have

"You're not my type" or "lets just be friends"

Leaving me where exactly?

Hovering somewhere between

"The one that got away"

and

"A girl you use to know"
