The Law of Attraction basically states we are magnets for the energy that we knowingly or unknowingly project out into the world. So by our wounds we attract those with similar wounds or through our ascension/healing, we attract to us those on a similar path. What we see is a reflection of ourselves.
In this post, that I hope to make a series, I look at how the wonderful “Woman v” series by the eloquent poet Ax exemplifies the Law of Attraction in relationships.
Woman i/v
by Ax
[please share love for his work directly to his site & check out his amazing series]I can draw your lines by heart,
the flow from ink that bleeds,
from the cuts across my wrists,
drips along my fingers,
as they press,
shaping your,
flesh.Stars like crystal hovers above,
twinkles that fade in your presence ,
the shine in your eyes glitter,
brighter than any star,
heaven can muster,
blessing your,
luster.Ax
Visually, the first stanza matches the second, one being a reflection of the other.
At the beginning of the poem, we see the poet’s precognisance of his physically absent love, having known the presence of her (later we find) through the ethers. “I can draw your lines by heart,” shows that even when the two have not yet met physically he knows her as he knows himself. She is his reflection.
He draws her in an effort to better know himself through ink that bleeds and mixes with his own blood. He is shedding life force in an effort to both better create himself and to attract his embodied anima; his twin flame. It also shows where his wounds are part of the magnet that reveals her to him. Here we can also gain a taste of the suffering of the poet; bleeding, wishing, desiring and needing the heavenly presence of his lover in his physical life.
To heal the wounds and transcend them, or perhaps through them, he is able to see her heavenly body in the second stanza. We can also see the desire of a man to deify his lover; beseeching the Goddess of his dreams, who can shine more clearly and brightly than the brightest stars of Heaven. His desire is for her. Whereas, generally, for a woman it is her desire to be desired by her lover that attracts her to him.
So in Woman i/v we can see how the Law of Attraction both shapes the poet and his lover. As he reveals and transcends his wounds, he attracts her more strongly into his life.
Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.

This poem really speaks to me and my desire to be authentic and free. I am repeatedly choosing to stand down, to surrender, so that I may attract people based on my truth and not my wounds…Feel free to join me!

Brilliant thought. I stand down too. Lets see what that brings me. But I have always been standing down, maybe not right either…

It’s a challenge to know when to stand your ground and when to stand down. Balance, BP!

If I write something, shall surely do. Thank you for the kind thought! I do not really have any avid followers waiting for a post. It is more of impersonally personal journal 🙂

Perhaps it’s just in our nature to stand down, as I’m also like this. But I do try to have balance too. Great post.

Very thought provoking Tiffany. I’ve been reading and looking more into the laws of attraction lately so this is timely. I think there is much here for me to ponder. The poem is of course beautifully written as is all of Ax’s work. I am, as you know, on this same path as you to stand down and live a more authentic, whole person, life. Desiring connections that reflect that. as always – same/same 💕

The diary is private so I don’t feel limited about what I discuss and the poetry is public. I will warn you they are marked mature for language/topics so you can decide if you wish to visit. I do not wish to offend. Here you go.
