I like women a lot, I love their complexity, their grounded nature, their capacity (like all of us) to be so often misunderstood even by themselves.
But most of all, and in particular, I have a great fondness and feel great attraction to women with a capacity for laughter, a good understanding of themselves and a deep understanding of the people around them. Wise women. I am not a leg, breast or arse biased man. I just love wise women.
There are other women I have loved, for other reasons. Some remain friends. After the grande passionalle depicted in purple prose elsewhere in this blog, I found another deep, strong, true love, finally, you see.
It has been a great, wonderful, beautiful and quite heartbreakingly brief time, ladies but I know I am loved and return that love in full - the love of an equal, the love of a friend, the love of an "in another time/on another planet lover".
I must name them, my loves.
Ming, old friend, first among the true band of Marko's women. I salute your strength, your principles, your boundless compassion for others, your generosity with wisdom.
Aza, the saviour of my soul, deeply spiritual and with a heart big enough to pump an ocean.
Lari, wise in self knowledge, high of principle, and with foundations so strong you could park a supertanker on them.
MJ, the irrepressible spirit. I see behind the clown as well you know. Nothing in there is anything but beautiful babes.
Alles, a late but deep arrival. My doppelganger, in petite, young, female form. A troublemaker born and true and ever in the service of others. You are wise beyond your years.
I know you love me, feel that love, return that love.
Yes, I finally got it
A Funny Old Life

ReplyDeleteEvery time I read this, it makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteIt is a special sort of a gift, one that will be treasured a long long long time :)
Knowing that I am loved adds an extra something to my life, and I know that you know that in return, you, Marko, are loved. Deeply and whole heartedly. \o/
yes. its a funny old life, isn't it? Long talks, hugs from afar, and then that revelation: TRYING to be a good person MAKES you a good person. It goes for both of us my sweet friend, i truly believe that the chat we had that afternoon changed my life. Love you dearly for and since time shared..
ReplyDeleteNamaste my love,
ReplyDeleteI have learned as much from you as you claim from me, the honor in our meeting is all mine
