The Power of Polarity

This is a truly revealing honest write.
A description of oneself and one’s situation and accepting it as it is. Many people live with a less that honest vision of who they are and what their life is …not being able to accept who they are. Most of us don’t have a fairy tale life and those of us who accept that fact are usually happiest.
~NE~

Hey there, NE :)
I agree, that it's incredibly difficult to be fully aware of what it is that truly makes a person happiest, in all different aspects of life. I think it's an ongoing evolution that needs to be constantly attended to, to figure out one's potential and those 'discoveries.' will show themselves if you're open to doing the work to figuring it out. I also don't believe you need to live a fairy tale life, only the willingness to find and accep one's one truth, makes an enormous difference in the extent of happiness you're able to achieve with yourself and especially with a partner..... In the long run, that affects most everything else, too.  

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and very astute, insights. I am sincerely appreciative and wish you and yours as much happiness and love as possible...  

Thank you for stopping by!

I like this.  Many fail to understand their self-made frailties. There is little hope for those who squander. People create their own oblivion.    

Thanks, A
You're astutely aware and spot on.

Knowing where you're weaknesses lie doesn't  make you weak. It's empowering to see the full picture and know where you can better yourself.

I like to think that there's an innate inner sense or maybe pheromones that we humans give off that are attracted by another, one who possesses the characteristics we lack, in abundance. Which is kind of my mindset within this piece. Two opposites, that accentuate each other by filling in one another's weaknesses with their strengths.

Nice thoughts...

Lovely comments and even lovelier to see you.
Thank you for stopping by

Hey there, my brave knight!
I can't seem to get the polarity and yin yang of things out of my mind! Thanks for your lovely kind words. There's such a heated and very alluring dynamic that I still can't quite capture, that I think my be on the horizon and still pertaining to this idea... lol...maybe I'll that poem soon, then hopefully I'll have put this theme to bed once and for all! (no pun intended.... lol)

Your comments about when you grow up, had me beaming....btw, your poems are magical and just as effervescent only in a different way, my dearest.

but I thank you for your truly kind af compliment. I needed it tonight...

Much love and hugs from across the pond ✨

Much respect for the love and respect for it is a very beautiful write as it comes from the truth of your thoughts and emotions and feelings for you have written another piece so full of sensual overtones of exchange between two hearts and minds 👊✍🙏🤗

“your incandescence
envelopes my shivering hurt
long held in tears  
escape down my cheeks  
awash in permission  
despite being almost too stubborn to fall”

Powerful wording not only with the look at oneself but also the need to get away from the public microscope.

Thanks, Jazz...

I believe you made a truly important point, about getting away from the prying eyes of the public, discovering the freedom of being yourself with your partner, without restraints .... it's deeply Important, in soul searching discovery and happiness, itself ....
 I fully agree!.

Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts with me. I hoped you found a bit of worth and enjoyment here, my lovely friend.  

It's always a pleasure to see you 🦋

flashes of realization  
forge a deep degree  
of pure acceptance
wiping tears, extinguishing fears-
shaking off the shadows  

Yes, it takes doing the really hard work to make that opposites attract relationship work.

One person working alone secures the person doing the work. Both working brings both together.

Trust, fearlessness, respect....these are vulnerable nakedness at work.

This is scary and makes you shake in your boots.

But, what is the point of living a life that never challenges you or asks you to dig deeper?

I don't want a mediocre life. I've lived in my car, lost everything 4 times, been near death a half dozen times, had my heart torn out, and had incredible experiences that challenged everything I've ever thought or believed.

I am not cardboard. I am not oatmeal. I'm tough, soft, simple, difficult....I'm everything but boring. I ask a lot and I give the impossible. I lived my life and I wasted nothing.

I have used every experience as a lesson in life.

I don't just make love, I create the universe. If this is my only life, I'm good with that.

I want that for my friends and lovers. Life is messy, and I'm okay with that. The people I interact with know this is going to be an adventure.

This is the way.

Thanks RT.

follow up:
I have been pondering your thoughts and comments and just wanted to reiterate how genuinely appreciative I am for you taking the time to read my poem and then leave me with such a detailed reply. I was short and I now see I might have seemed dismissive, which I absolutely didn't mean to convey.... I adore how you open my mind and allow me to expand my thinking without judgement nor embarrassment... it's precious and exactly what I need to have occur when I close myself off... I'm so grateful for that engagement with me and my thought process.... or sometimes lack thereof ... lol...

Thank you....your voice adds so much.

Awww... wow.
Best compliment I've had in awhile.


Thrilled you think so.
Thanks again, RT

My dear soul soother,    
Yes, I think of one of Chris Rock's stand up routines where he's talking about couples and how you can't have one say "wanna go to church?" and the other say "wanna hit the pipe?".... haha.... Yeah, that's never going to work out !!    
    
I read a book that was pure fiction and at first glance, it could have easily been thought of as just another fluffy erotica book about BDSM with no true substance nor poignant takeaways, surprisingly it really affected me and has stuck with me for years now and left me with this one line of thought:  
  
"An enlightened partner assumes his polarity in a relationship, but he doesn’t see that as fundamentally making him superior in any way, no more than the “+” side of a battery is superior to the “-” side. They are opposite but equal poles. In their respected roles. It takes two to tango, right?"    
   
I kept that quote because it had such an impact on me and still does.    
   
Yes, we do reap what we sow. I believe that too. Whatever we put out into the universe will hopefully come back to us. I deeply hope that to be so. However, being proactive is only going to open more doors to possibility 🙆🏻‍♀️ and that's always going to be beneficial, even if it's only for 'research' purposes... heh heh heh 😈😉😏    
   
Thank you for your enormously kind words, the compliments and for sharing your big heart so beautifully with me. Entrusting me, really.... I sooo love that  
   
I count myself lucky..... in you. 🍀

You are so right about opposites complimenting each other. It does take
work but is so rewarding if you allow yourself to feel it. Even if at first you
think it would never work. I remember meeting my husband in high school- I
thought - what an asshole. LOL  True story. hahah
But after I got to know him - he kinda grew on me. I'd just broke up with my first love
and hurt. Not very trusting. So we dated and then I dumped him - much to his shock. LOL
But he never gave up on me. That pull was there. Polarity can be a strong attraction.
That's what this piece reminds me of as well as courage. Sometimes
we just gravitate towards people and let it happen.

Loved this piece:)

Hey there, A :)
That's such a wonderfully emotional and ultimately sweet 'meet cute with you and your hubby. (meet cute: from TV or movies, is a scene in which the two people who will form a future romantic couple meet for the first time, typically under unusual, humorous, or cute circumstances!) I loved how you have that story to share and pass down to your kids and future grandkids, it's 💯 worthy!

Yes, finding someone who doesn't give up on you and allows you to become the best version of yourself by actually adding to wherever you might be possibly be lacking and vice versa, with you doing the same for them.... is the hope and dream ... You're lucky to have found yours.

I'm so very glad you enjoyed and identified. That's such a wonderful feeling for me to be made aware of and a true motivation.

Thank you for taking the time, it means a lot!

Best wishes and much

That realization is made even more impactful when it's a discovery that is as intensely strong as it is scary. It takes a certain amount of bravery to take a path that is far less traveled and my hope is that I can navigate my way well enough to find and explore that very magnetism....

You're always in tune with my thoughts, Jay....I adore and appreciate that immensely.  

Thank you for sharing and for being here with me

No worries... I enjoyed your thoughts and value the time you take.

Thank you so much for the follow up, though; it's very kind of you.

Began with a feeling of melancholy but progressed smoothly to a warmth like a fire on a cold winter eve.
Bravo.

Such is life, sometimes.... Thank you for reading and for feeling what I'd hoped you, especially, would feel.

It means a lot to me that you had an opportunity to experience the truth in all my heated warmth and consecrated trust.

Much love -♡

I dare to lick my finger and touch your cathode and see if there is any electricity.

As others have mentioned the opposite attraction.  You are drawn to them as a protector. Inside their forcefield you are safe. You can heal protected from the outside antagonists. And you can let go of your inhibitions, being yourself. Craving and getting the sexuality you need. You smooth out their rough edges; making them appreciate some of the nuisance of life.

careful... careful....
You better ground yourself first!!!
💥💥💥💥💥

;p

Your very keen investigative observations pay off in spades, dear Leo.

I'd only add that I feel it's more about filling in each other's missing pieces. We all have parts of ourselves that are potentially lacking, the hope is that we can fill those parts or 'pieces' for one another and in turn make one helluva a whole unit... a team, from two separate opposites.

You're a sight for sore eyes.... it's a joy, my luv.

It's lovely to see you 🦋
Missed your presence

Dear BV,

I probably missed the main point of the poem, yet the entire time I was reading along I kept thinking about fractured relationships and even when two parties try to glue it back together the fissures will always be present. Maybe bringing them closer but something forever keeping them on guard. Not sure why this write went in this direction for me but the writing itself is your usual steller-ness. H🌷

Honoria,
I love you for seeing what you do within this poem. To me, there are never any wrong answers when it comes to how, what or why you get what you do from any form of art or creativity. Your experience/explanations are very profound and moving and I'm delighted you shared them with me. I still get amazed with the fact that anyone feels anything from a poem of mine and I'm often left in awe always in deep appreciation.

Thanks for the read, the lovely sentiments and for being so open and honest with me.
I truly look forward to seeing you 🦋  

Love to you, dear lady

Applauses all around.
The delivery and music accompanying this was amazing.
I can say I'm a little speechless, as the subject matter is leaves us with wondering imaginations and exciting dreams.
Awesome work.

Oh, Damn Walter!
I almost want to print this comment out and frame it in my little work area!!!

This simply the nicest and most incredible response.... ever...so very 🤯  

I deeply thank you from every single part of myself and I'm so deeply grateful you enjoyed it as much as you did..

B,

This is the first poem where I stopped by and it did take me by surprise. This one is a sweeping, cathartic and achingly honest. But what truly moved me was the innocence that lies beneath it all, the simplicity of that wish fulfilment. The poem is a vicarious vessel of that, a wish capsule that probably has its own will and way now.

I also love how the undulating dance has been addressed here, between the two opposing ends. You have also used some of my favourite words that made me gush.

I will keep coming back for more.




 

Hello there  
 
It's wonderful to see a new friendly face, glad you decided to stop in :)  
 
Whew, I'm delighted to read that it turned out to be a pleasant surprise—I was worried there for a moment.  
 
It's extremely interesting to see how each individual finds their different points and places in a poem where they are hopefully (fingers crossed) moved to experience a remembered resonating emotion as their takeaway. That lovely comment of wish fulfillment is surprisingly accurate and I hope not too easily deduced!.. lol... I pretty much think it was, considering what very good example of an open book I am .... lol  
 
I am genuinely delighted to see you and to read your very generous thoughts and opinions.  
Reading comments/leaving them, is my favorite give and take here on DUP cultivating  honesty openness while also learning a little something new.  
 
Please do come back, I warmly welcome you anytime.  
 
Much love and warm kindness,  
🌹 💙

Puff Puff Puff Puff...sorry let me catch my breath...such a long scroll down. Rightly so, this piece is a masterpiece of expressed emotion. It describes so many of my feelings an yearning. I love the alliterstion in this beautiful, melancholy passage,
"and far too many scars  
than wishes on stars "  
These two passages made me happy to imagine such a state,
"your incandescence  
envelopes my shivering hurt "
and
"your touch  
can heal and soothe a fractured lining"
And the way you read this piece with all the emphasis turns me on.
Bravissima, my beautiful BB🐻💞  🐰

(Ohhh pish posh! Silly bear!! hahahaha)

You literally make my heart skip a beat!
Turning you on was the ultimate goal.... I just picture that as I'm reading ;)
heh heh heh 😈


Love this, you and your visit to pieces!
Thank you thank you thank you, BB!!
🐻💞💋🐰

Haunted house of my dreams
Follow me like the flashing blue lights
Of a car on fire with love
Whose siren song polices my heart
On a patrol of broken stained glass
In boots of Tibetan leather
On a march to Hollywood
Welcomed by Hells Angels
To tinsel heart stents
Under the vaporous skies
With the sun a Cyclops of many colors

Your poem is the most honest introspection I've read. The intensity of emotions took me on a voyage into the heart of the suffering that defines humanity. And in so doing it is a universal testament to the human condition. Truly a wonder to behold.

Much love,
John
