Fatal Wounds

this just happened.. I was in the kitchen doing my thing.. and well I am too full of feelings today.. it is hard and forgive my lack of Valentines spirit..
I am allowing this to come forth as I do all my feelings .. inside they truly would kill me.

I was in love once in India,
And in a very short time he was
Swept away like the monsoons

All the debris and the trappings
Of possibilities were consumed
By a fate that stuck down at noontime

He was on the streets in traffic
Dangerous
Like the Amazon in Brazil
Piranha waiting to eat an early lunch

Now six years later another flood
Has waged its destruction
And I in its wake
Am covered mud and debris

My eyes sting and the grit
Feels embedded and fatal

I went to work today and it was so strange
Someone came in and started to measure for
Kitchen equipment
He said, “my friend whom would have helped me
Died last night”

“Oh” I said, “Oh I am so sorry…how?”
He said, “He went to bed and told his daughter
“ I don’t feel so good honey”
And when the morning came.
He had gone.”

He was my age exactly..
And I feel like I know just how he died
Cause today I don’t feel so good

I want him to have our picture

I want him to know how much I love him.

  • linaji replied

    and here we are again.. months upon months upon months.. and my heart indeed is broken..it is the spiral.. almost but not quite.. I am a coward and attract all those I cannot have Ibrahim..you should know and the pain does not change..much..

    not just my heart, but my whole being aches as i read and re-read this. it truly brought tears flowing down my face. i don’t know you as well as many on RB, but i’ve read other hints of your lost love. i’m sure he knew (knows). as i write this i close my eyes, exhale, and send feelings of tranquility your way.

  • linaji replied

    Not so sure if it is the lost.. or the unattainable.. I have since I wrote this had to examine my intent .. and for me.. my attraction point seems carless and a bit at a loss sometimes if indeed I am committed to allowing a full on relationship in my life. I believe we attract everything and I see this is so when I pause and ask myself why this.. why this pain again.. weather I attract someone whom I loved so much and he was taken or someone I love now and cannot have.. well.. I am attracting all of this.. So I feel no regret for the loving is pure in and of itself and I believe in the eternal nature of this one espically.. like forever.. but it all hurts none the less and makes me ask myself.. ARE YOU READY? and you know… I am still not answering very loud.. You my friend really helped me through.. I was feeling very very low.. I appreciate knowing you and meeting you SD.. Sending you hugs and smiles.. a bit better.. I.

    Psychology, philosophy, religion, even enlightened faith…don’t do it sometimes. Some things just hurt, and that’s all there is to it. God I miss her.

    Mortality strikes us as if we were bells, but even that tone eventually subsides.

  • linaji replied

    personally.. from what I have seen in many trips beyond.. it is a place that I am sometimes drawn to.. not because I do not love this live sure.. but like the feeling of a drink when One is wanting to be rid of the pain for just a minuet.. I know.. if I choose.. I could do this.. say goodnight and fly… but then I think what keeps me here is my love of Art.. I am so in love with this part of my life Mark.. as you know the Art of Allowing is my key to feeling good… It is when I don’t allow for my feelings.. hence the poem …or my foibles.. plenty.. that I feel like jumping off to the beyond.. I feel like I want to control others feelings toward me and I just cant and that drives me mad sometimes.. So I write and I scream and I cry and I want to die.. because the pain of believing someone does not know my heart.. is painful..
    So I have to say..
    I am where I am
    and this is where I am..
    and I know who I am..
    and I am love.
    As well as All whom I know are too..
    LIke you .. A big MM> with lots and lots of LOve!

    Very beautifully expressed. To lose a loved one is hardly easy for anyone, for a tender heart like you, your pain shows each time…“despite of all adversity that befalls one in life, life has to go on…. It’s our choice, as to how we go on, to live in the pain of our past…or the pleasure that our present God has proffered..to erase the pain…”.......... xox

  • linaji replied

    Kumarji.. you are funny.. you see so much sometimes and when you choose not to.. well.. you are brilliant and I would not have you any other way.. I so love you.
    Thanks very much friend.

    Sometimes our losses can just come back and blindside us, the pain can feel as fresh as if it just happened. I think this is most true for those we loved the most and a way for us not to forget. Usually once the pain again subsides we remember fondly all the good times, but those memories are clearer once again!! :)

  • linaji replied

    I feel blindsided Keith.. but I know how life is.. what a joy that I have this place and you and many in my heart like you to bounce off the wall and feel like I have landed in your arms of safety..
    Much Much thanks.. xox

    We all deal with this in different ways, and the insecure among us have the hardest time of it. It seems that the more we want to give is only a symptom of what we really do want. Life is loving what you get, not getting what you want…

  • linaji replied

    Amen.. in all ways.. and how we attract these people places and things. are part of my pie..

    And I know how do you feel.
    I am dying today with you
    hour after hour
    till the clock will hit the midnight
    and we raise again from the ashes
    with flaming love like a Phoenix…

  • linaji replied

    I am with you darling one.. till you are disappeared.. I am here.. xoxoxoxoo

    Hi Lina - I hope the pain goes away or becomes less - I feel sad that such emotions come as waves upon you. It seems strange but yesterday – probably about the time you were writing this - I was thinking about you while out walking - now I don’t really even know you but you were in my mind - you remind me a lot of a good friend here an American women wife of my co-worker - she is as a friend says ” a force of nature” very emotional and loving and sometimes overwhelming - when you have great highs I guess nature balances out with lows – not fair at all but better then always mediocre - perserver—dave

  • linaji replied

    Oh David.. what a great feeling I have now upon coming home. You are right in some respects about these waves. However it has been quite some time in my life 6 years to be exact.. since I felt this.. I have been since coming here a steady ship of Well Being and of course the glitches of the unawares human kind! lolol But this one really has taken me for a loop and my heart is aching. I am feeling so much now that I write.. and this place with you here gives me so much electric safety.. and I mean electric.. cause there is still a chance of allowing myself to fear my place here at Red Bubble.. So I put my blinders on and ‘just do it’ as it were. Some relief has come due to just being able to commune with this person.. but so unresolved..so painful indeed
    When I walk to my job or see others here in the real world.. they would not know much about me if they were not part of RB.. this is my creative haven.. my muses and my Co-Creative family reside here. I have often thought how pleasant a life I would have in a sort of Artist commune where we had access to each others energy .. but maybe the internet really is like that.. cause I feel ‘right’ here in my choosing transparency.. and you are right David.. mediocre has never been a problem!! xoxoxoxoxo I wish I could meet you in the ‘dunes’ early morning. and i could do some shooting with you.!! thanks so very much. Linaji..

    Heartfelt words Linaji … well written. Know how you feel my friend … cheer up, there’s lots of love here for you … I know it’s easy to say that but fact is … it’s not easy without someone special to hold and whisper sweet nothings to, I know, I’ve been living like a nun for decades now … still my cat gives me cuddles in between his bouts of scratches (playfully of course) ... it’s really not that different to having my ex around…lol

  • linaji replied

    It is the love here that brings out the best in me.. you are so part of my life and appreciattion.. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

    This leaves me very emotional and finding it difficult to put those emotions into words. Your Spirit and inner being shine in all of your works but this one really strikes to the core of my being! Outstanding work Lina and my thoughts will be with you for the rest of my day

  • linaji replied

    I felt so much power/vitality from wonderful Beings.. such as you. I am humbled by this whole experience and feel that not a moment is wasted in this life that in the circle where we can’t always see the enormity of ‘it’ all, embraces us and our fears by allowing us to feel the safety in our lives with people like you Leann connecting. thank you so much.
