Rule Books
Just before Valentines.. for give.. this just wanted space..
erupting elements that are grabbing my heart today..
Rule Books belongs to the following groups:
Core [C.O.R.E], Feminine Intent (LIMIT TWO IMAGES PER DAY), The Healing Journey, THE SISTERHOOD and Up & Coming WritersHer name is Lidia.
And I used to know her
I had a feeling he would go there next
He likes someone to need him and want
Him
Oh,, I did all of that gladly for awhile
But one morning I woke up and felt
Betrayed
No.
Not by him,
By me!
Cause I knew when I began to agree to all
His rules
Well I knew then that I never followed rules
So how could I say yes?
Perhaps he is right
Perhaps I am a shallow bowl
Full of….
Fruit
Overripe and rotten to the core
Why did I want to believe I could follow a rule book
When my only rule has been:
There are no rules!
Maybe I just wanted what I wanted so bad
When I smelled his sex
And his jokes were actually funny
Maybe I thought I could hold off on my
One Rule this time
Cause he felt like Sunday mornings
With pancakes and Organic coffee
And slow and willful play all day in bed
Maybe I thought I could look the other way
When my heart started to slow up and
Do that palpating thing that really is not good
For a woman my age
So he was “finished” he said
I knew the rules
And he is right
I did.

Dennis.. you just a card.. well.. I must say that it depends on who you are. this is not about judging him.. it is certainly bout my part in all this.. I am a poor judge of circumstances when I want what I want. I am a bit like the bull of the sign I was born under.Taurus.. xoxo

Faith Donovan
Wonderful writing! We are giving up so much of ourselves for one hug, one smile of that ONE we would like to have… I know I lost myself. Maybe one day someone will find me again?
linaji replied
Faith.. you are so beautiful and i just went over to your site.. will read more later..
Of COURSE.. you will find yourself first.. then all you desire will follow!! I promise!! You are so findable.. and passionate..
I am feeling more and more as each experience of relationship comes into my life I have to examine what my part was.. which because I only really know me.. the alll of what i attracted was me.
But that is for another day with us.. Love is in the fibers of all that we are and it is so wonderful to be the focus of anothers attention. Inbetween lovers.. I am looking for mine in everything I do!! lolol and vent with words and art once in awhile!! xoxo

O man.
(((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))
That’s a road I walked down, a couple of times.
Not an easy one. And it always doubles back and we end up where we started.
But no journey is wasted, you know?
And your powerful words will speak to others…...........

RULES, WHAT RULES GORGEOUS, XXXXXXXXXX

Who is someone else to impose rules upon you? Rules only apply if you allow them to apply.
The Ten big ones are important to all. They set up moral guidelines to live by, define right and wrong!! :)

A taste of tough love here??? .....handed out by oneself…...I believe a relationship can work as long as it is mutually agreeable…...You found out maybe it wasn’t so for you. TOUGH LOVE. Only really really beautiful people can act upon this…..I think you would be amazing to meet. XXX
linaji replied
I jjust came from your last Piece..Arcadia.. you are simply magnificent!! I feel so much lighter for what you gave and your mind is absolutly brilliant!! So yes.. tough love all the way around.. the mutual part is interesting.. so many new elements in this one for subterfuge.. distance, (big distance) and another way of living .. opposites.. and yet.. the other side of the column there is so much that is well.. perfect.. not had before.. feels so right.. so.. anyway.. if it were not for my work here and people like to to bring about such laughing before bedtime.. I would not survive so well.. xoxoxoxoxo

The best kind of love is when you are true to yourself, when you begin to look away from your ‘rules’ is when pieces of you start withering and falling, like the petals of a rose when it’s been taken from water and left to lay…. beautiful piece sweet writer.
linaji replied
SD.. You are a love of a Co-Creator and you are right.. being true to ones self sometimes is so damn hard when it seems you want everything .. just everything.. and it will not bend to your truths..
that creates a well of despair… xoxoxoo
