The Other Woman

 The Other Woman

 She knows well enough

to respect me.

She knows better than

to ignore me.

I like her in her own right.

I tell myself we should be friends,

not just because it will be easier

but also because it’s

so rare to find

anyone who

gets me

and gets him too.

I could use more friends like her.

And I gather, so could she.

***

 Men are not just scraps of meat,

over which we

think we must fight,

only to hurt ourselves

in the process.

We do not need to fight

over this man.

We are not bitches,

but we can share

the bone

like sisters.

With a common agenda

there is much

we can do

together to further

our own needs.

So much energy

wasted either in subterfuge,

detection,

or intervention.

Better to get it out

and get on with it

than to

cower

in the shadow

of denial

or self-deception.

She knows

I saw him first,

and I know

she won’t be the last

to notice him.

She also knows

that when I

follow my nature,

there will be times I will be glad

she will be there for him,

allowing me to take my leave

when and as I choose

when the glove is on the other hand.

***

She is the perfect

Other Woman.

She knows

what it is like

to walk in my shoes

and what hurts

as well as what feels good

if she will just let it.

I understand her completely

because

I have been her

for him

when someone else was me,

and I wanted to be honest

and remain her friend,

but such was not to be.

***

And now,

as I prepare to take my leave

to explore,

to experience

something new

with someone new

I realize that once again

I am the Other Woman

just as much as she is me.

I want to have so much

in common with this

enlightened woman

who sees me as I am,

accepts me,

even encourages me

to help find pleasure

with this man

she loves so much,

I can’t help

loving

her

for the way

that

she loves him.

If women

of uncommon

consciousness

found their friends

from among

their lovers’

paramours

they would never find themselves

lonely

or friendless

again.

I am the Other Woman

just as much as she is me.

 

For Inquiring Minds, I’m Back

For Inquiring Minds, I’m Back

 When I visit the Blogger’s I follow and read a new posting. I will inevitabley ask questions and always post a comment…

Pehaps you might have been Wondering Where is Astraltravler? I’m back My Friends. I spent the last 3 weeks in Los Angeles.

Shall we say this was part business & pleasure. Due to my departure I have many blogs that I have not had the opportunity to read and comment. Please know that I’m dedicated and loyal to those I follow. Don’t be surprised if you receive many comments and or questions consecutively.

I’m looking forward to catching up with all your postings.

Sadly it has been brought to my attention some of the Blogger’s I had followed had to close their site’s. Please know I’m sadden and will keep in touch with you.

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME, AND I’M SO VERY HAPPY TO BE BACK!

Anastasia
