Menage a Trois
Life is so surprising sometimes.
Menage a Trois belongs to the following groups:
Core [C.O.R.E], Feminine Intent (LIMIT TWO IMAGES PER DAY), THE SISTERHOOD, Unconventional Artistry - 3 per day and Up & Coming WritersHe fetched me a ribbon the first time it happened
He said;
She is nothing but a memory baby love,
But really she is younger and pretty and I knew her
Poor man
Why would I find a man who loved a person
Who seemed to love me too?
At the time they were passionate and playful
She would zap me a paragraph of
Lithographed Lines
Lazy
Crazy
Lovely
Lines of parchment parables
About painful prescience
That
Her future looked bleak
She said
Without me.
Like magnets we were,
The three of us
Caught up in a vortex of separate cells
Yet in the same body and feeling the
Sickness when the body no longer
Can use our kind
We became perhaps,
Her cancer
She used to write me and tell me I was completely
Wicked
And that I should have a statue in a famous square,
She used to say if it weren’t for me she would expire
Right here under a tree
With a heart that had been carved deep into its trunk
Amongst the dead soldiers
With longings for such as she.
Last lines…
“I will be home soon my love”,
Your John,
Your love forever,
Then, riding towards their fate
With ‘such as she’ in their hearts
never to return.
How can this be?
Both of us intertwined even before we met.
He, She and Me
Somehow
Perhaps being uprooted by her need,
I saw it hurt him more
Because I never was her lover.
I was just her Need
For
One
Other.

David Friederich
Oh Lina…words like complexity, intertwined, enmeshed came into my head as I read your deeply personal, powerfully composed poem. Beautifully written, but I so want to ask questions. You are such a great artist, Lina, with an incredible willingness to put yourself out there. xo
linaji replied
David,
I really want you to hear this. I have to thank you. Your encouragement in the last year.. a bit less for us… is unfailing and important to me. I see myself thru your eyes and your eagle heart and I am ready to take flight for the pure joy of expanding my craft and for the want of touching others in the spirit of kinship as we all traverse this plane of existence. Much Love, Lina.
Astoreth

Who seemed to love me too?

Maybe you SHOULD have a statue in a famous square.
La Grande Place à Bruxelles… en plein centre, pour que je pourrais mettre une fleur sur son podium chaque matin, et devant tout le monde…
linaji replied
Mes fleurs seraient-ils remplies avec l’amour ou avec la rancune ?
billyboy
What do you think BabyJi??
linaji replied
I think that life is so good.. and flowers are the best thing in life. I wish I had someone to knock on my door 3X week and say..
Flower delivery Ms.. Linaji aka Babyji? and I say yep that’s me.. and then the flowers are alway just what i need for the day to sail away.. that’s what I think Sweet CoB~

whoa the power of truth. have you read jean m auel before the made earths children. read first in late 60s to 70s. i waited on baited breath for new. a lady and writer who truly does home work. much like you. i will not share how skins so soft of wild animals and how they gave back. you do this also. imagine traveling to ancient digs and finding out there was usually one or two women in a clan that was smart, beautiful and desired to sire. this is old as time. i see this in people today. the best of the best. how i love this linaji. oh to do a jean m auel. no formula with her stuff, nor Anne rice for that matter. you fit so well in these minds i admire. so next time know cat, dog, whatever it be, yes i believe you know. first thing is breath to nose then a sniff down…lol. how they trust and read us well. only cantankerous i rode was camel. never again my friend. yet sand desert calls to treasures of soul that wants to see just one more time. funny. you really mad a pop wop with connection. with druids they initiated a sulis or hadama. yet believe you know also. sorry long got so excited for so many do not get connection. heck loved grecian history. men truly knew how by thirty as did women. how sensual. we have lost much with territorial boundaries. men just have to leave scent. i love this what a mile of a smile as i read this. connected old dots. my dear you are truly awesome. love you so linaji. let em spray lol. janet

“How can this be?
Both of us intertwined even before we met.”
This is so cool Lina… “intertwined”... did I ever use this word in a similar context? Only you would know that… I suppose.
linaji replied
HI as you can see below.. I forgot to press reply.. tee hee.. just could not seem to connect to anyone yesterday… anyway… I feel all intertwined around these parts.. RB just is a big maze of joy!
linaji
WOW…. Hi.. I have been gone.. and here you are intertwined in this poem!!!
I do not think you have ever used the in a similar context!!
