Too Many
I am having fun today, and well yesterday and the day before that.. I love to feel love
Too Many belongs to the following groups:
"Poetry and Beautiful Women" , Art For The World, Core [C.O.R.E], Feminine Intent (LIMIT TWO IMAGES PER DAY), Incredible India, JPG Cast-Offs, The beauty of poetry, The Red Writing Room, THE SISTERHOOD, Up & Coming Writers, Vibration in Art and Verse - VAVoom! and Writing: Persuing HappinessToo Many
There are too many books by my bedside:
How To
Where Have You Been
‘The Tale’ for Life and Loving Again
Destiny Awaits
Your Time To Win
The Encyclopedia of Understanding Sin
You See…
I have taken a fever to loving you
And swim with the best and the few
Oceans of East and rivers of west
Occasions to bring out the lone-hearted guest
Because…
This feeling’s a bit 12 speeded Osterized
Departing from normality’s brew
Hedged all my own bets and synergize where
Hearts projections are long over due
Yet…
There are too many dreams to follow
Bear Laissez-faire
Dolphin expectation
Snakes skimming the brew
Where left is left and all is right
Heart Shiva dances in Lone Tantric night
It was then…
I took to living on mountaintops
Claimed body and Soul then felt a peak
Now living my life on an overhang
Looking down on the valley I seek
And Now?...
Inside me are pure running waters,
Which carry times wisdom each day
Emotions that change like a menu in spring
Allowing a path where one can do anything.
Then Again..
There are too many lessons to digest
Patience is a virtue
Virtue is a question
A question asks the living
The living ask the dead
Turn the cards
Read the stars
Posture oracle
Deep-ended Scars
You not here, me not there
And Yet…
Your smile turns upward my world again
Sprinkles ingredients I never knew
Age Old resistance is hammer down clamor down
As the blind man remembers what’s true
You’re like cake, my darling lets face it
Too much flower dries all your intent
Soul wetness pulls your force down again
But your warm smell is all heaven sent
You see…
There are too many books by my bedside.

Then Again..
There are too many lessons to digest
Patience is a virtue
Virtue is a question
A question asks the living
The living ask the dead

Lina, this totally reflects me! And probably many others as well. Particularly “There are too many dreams to follow.” For me anyways there are so many things I want to do! But at the same time many lessons to digest and duties which need to be done that not everything can be commited to making dreams come true. Lovely words~
linaji replied
you embraced the total essence of my feelings.. much thanks to you Mui Ling! xx

Too many beautiful lines to choose one over the other—as always, after reading your work I feel that I have journeyed with you and have been granted privilege to experience in very intimate and loving ways things that you deeply care about. An amazing being you are, with a truly giving spirit willing to share struggles and joys often keep guarded in most of us—Thank you. xox

Marion Chapman
oh, just wonderful. full of real life and the excitement that is possible!! Who are you writing about my dear lina?????
Anthony R. Pla...
Ohh yes – I really like this! I love how it flows from one image to the next, how the alliteration plays on the tongue, how it shifts, blurs, and refocuses again – like knowing glances and whispered tones in the middle of a conversation in the hall… Most excellent!
cosimopiro
It is a stream that carries our dreams and the wisdom of flowing with it is in the reading of your write. I too have too many books…..and too many lessons.

............This feeling’s a bit 12 speeded Osterized…...............
Ha ha! I love that one! Cuz that’s the way I often feel at work, totally chewed up like a blender! TGIF!!! Great writing as usual Linaji – I too have a vast assortment of books by my bed. :O)
JenLand
hmmmm if I had a man IN my bed with me, perhaps there’d be fewer books beside it…........... hmmmmmm ! ;o)
linaji replied
lololo you truly made my night Jen.. I am chuckling!!! It feels good and the books can change covers..like..instead of Tantric Origins.. becomes.. Tantric Orgasms….lololxxxxx ( I could not help myself!!)

I knew it!
Too many books,
so little time,
too many dreams,
so little everything.
And the big Nothing is
looming at the horizon.
Nothing stays the same.
Only we move.
Drawn by yet another dream
of life together and
dreaming apart,
dreaming together and
living apart.
Apart from that,
we are the same.
I knew it!
...and then again,
too many books,
too many answers.
A Dolphin expectation indeed, albeit beautiful.
linaji replied
I love when you are here and using my words and making them yours..xxx

I guess we just nibble a little of what is the right flavor for us…. biting off more than we can really chew and digest seems the lament of the world. I love the feeling of you working through your emotional library …..and still we have some cake that we always can make room for..not cos we are greedy but because we can love so very very deeply….. beautiful write Lina..XXXX
linaji replied
Yes KarenSue.. tis true.. sometimes I am so unaware I bite so deep.
Your comments always help me to digest the influx of my feelings as I write.. thank you dear one..

You don’t do this nearly often enough. Your words enlighten so many, including yourself of course. Wisdom, heart and positive energy are what make up Linaji. xoxo
linaji replied
Ya Know what.. you really do remember what I spout out sometimes.. I write to hear what I need to hear.. it is Universal our thinking but ours alone to share and gain perspective sometimes when, at least for me, write it down on paper.. Loving you Cass.. xxx

This is brilliant, your verse in rhyme is tantalising, and so many lines that seem out of left field, genius in there. Too many belonged to the month you were in, like a clown with too many juggle-things in the air. Now, Saturday you beign your earth month and from the many you will find the laser beam of focus. You will be right at home now, in November. Trust me.
linaji replied
hummm that is so interesting.. this view from you.. perhaps my clown self wants to learn to expand on the juggle-things cause one can if one chooses!! lol.. however Jim.. you know how much it means that you enjoyed this piece as you to me as writer.. well I think I am reaching the trillions on how I express my admiration for your work! (all said and felt with heart!)

Like all those times I thought I didn’t have enough books … by the time I picked one up I felt like I had outgrown it. So now there are too many books staring at me making me wonder when I became so smart … or so vain … or so helpless … or so needy … or so lost … or so wise. Yes, I agree bring on the oracle that will tell me true … who am I and why are all these books cluttering my mind … and yours!
Love .. love .. love this. Were you peeking into my room? :)
linaji replied
LOLOLO i love you.. period.. we need to talk again.. i am going to see my brother in December.. on xmas.. so I will not be coming back east..i LOVE HIM.. and his girlfriend and daughter are like heaven too.. I miss family sweetheart.. something i know you get.. lxoxoxo

you have the wisdom and heart of a kind and soulful person Lina…... this is just so brilliant….. so many good lines to mention…. I don’t have books by my bedside anymore, I have a notepad….. I ditched the books when I started writing…. there wasn’t room in my mind for both at bedtime….
linaji replied
I know it is Feng Shui no no too.. but.. well.. there are so many things I love to peruse through!! and my bad self and laptop too!! lolol
