You and Me make Three – poem by Astra Nomik

65

By Astra Nomik

(This is a most unusual poem as it deals with a third person in a loving relationship where two people already exist. Intended as a romantic poem, and in some ways an Invitation of sorts, it asks and invites such questions as - how can such a thing be possible, and how to express it? By stripping away the bull and simplifying it all, and in poetry of course.)

You and Me make Three – poem by Astra Nomik

If you told me that you loved me, do you think that she would cry?

Do you think as Lovers - we can’t look us in the eye?

Do you want my Lips to be a-kissing of you now?

Do you quake and wonder on the why and on the how?

She said she is Okay with You, and She’s Okay with Me,

She treats and she respects You as though you are Family,

She loves and she adores You, and just the same as I

Since loving you is easy, and you’re easy on the eye.

Your face is of an Angel, your eyes are of a Gold,

They glimmer, dance and glisten with a Story still untold,

Awash with expectation, and full of Honesty,

We Love and I Adore you, as if we were meant to be -.

With Love and being Open, and with Tons of Hugs to spare

We want you not as third, but as an Equal, cos we care.

We open up our house to You, we open up our Bed,

So climb on in, and Feel at home, and rest you “curly” head.

The cuppa is a-brewing, and the food packed on the shelves -

The Cook she’s in her apron, look – she’s wearing nothin’ else,

She teases with her Cheeky laugh, and winks and brings the tea,

The TV is a-babbling, though there's other things to see,

But look at me, I see you now - my Sweet and Cupid Friend,

I’m sorry all this crap drove you around the stupid bend.

We Love and Understand Each Other, Happy we will be,

Get used to Us, get used to me, for You and Me make Three.

To my Amazing and Special Friend, who, will remain nameless here. And for whom I have such deep feelings...

Hi Darlene: my poem is no doubt a very unusual poem, and some people will be surprised by it, but yes, it is honest. And yes the happiness thing is important. I also wanted to not be tip-toeing around an obvious issue with someone, so better say it openly and directly. But hopefully not shockingly. You have a wonderful take on what love is, Darlene. That is beautiful. And thank you for being honest also. I would not think many hubs deal with threesomes. Love and peace to you too, Darski. Can I call you Darski now? Ha. Terrific. Take care.

Wow, that was such a different take on a Love Poem but it turned out just beautiful. I have read some great Poetry on here from AIDY, JJ and RandyBehaviour but for me this is the best piece of poetry I have read on here. So sincere, so putting the reader in the room watching it unfold.

This is your best piece of writing Cathy, as a big poetry fan I can only say that really touched me, I am going to share this on my Twitter xoxo

(Hugs) Aw, the best, really? You just saying that. LOL. Yes, putting the reader in the room, in the kitchen, in the bedroom...LMAO. Wow, so maybe I ought to do more like this. It's not easy. Aw thanks Art. You are wonderful. I am blessed to have you here, you are a good friend. I hope your flooring goes well. The Cherry red would go nice with a big green Christmas Tree. :)

Take care, my big wonderful TattoGuy Art. XOXO

Well Cathy I thought this was breath takingly awesome. You have a magical way with words, you are honest and absolutely pull no punches. I like that and love your poetic words and theme.

Hi acaetnna, gosh what a great comment here from you. I wish more of my friends would say stuff like this. Ha. I never thought I would see the day when I would write about this theme in a poem and also publish it to be read like this. Thank you for the comments, you have made this lady smile today. :D And I could probably not find a better way to say these things than through poetry. I just love poems and live them...probably too much. LOL. Maybe I should get out more...

Thanks again, my friend. Praise from a great poet like you is truly High Praise indeed. Take care.

Hi Nikki, checking mail and hubs, and saw your comment. Yes, I am busy with a job change (working in a newspaper now) and back with poetry again. Hehe. Glad you waited for me. : ) Yes, this is me and my usual thing I do, maybe too honest...it's hard to know where the line can be...sometimes I won't know till I write it and stuff happens...so sometimes I have to write it to know I am alive and breathe, and the other person does the same...

Yes it is love. Love is amazing. It is very real to me. The music of a human soul makes me cry, it can be so beautiful.

I love getting your ace comments, Nikki. You are pure sunshine to me. :D

Hi Cheri, thank you for this. The book thing only just came to me in the last week. I am watching Cassy putting her final touches to her book, and I am longing to see it in print. But I am now wanting to get a nice sized collection of my poetry and publish it the same way she is. She will be using Facebook to promote and market her book (She just published a hub on how to do this, I haven't a clue as I don't have facebook) but she is a genius and I trust her instincts.

My poetry can sometimes feel almost too real or too honest maybe, but I wrote this as I felt it was me being honest about things. And I am sure people can read what is behind it. (Just not who...Heh.) Yes, it feels weird and wonderful and strange too, Cheri. Oh, my book will take a while as I don't have enough poetry yet to make a book. But Blaise25 has already done this and published romantic poetry. She and Cassy are my inspiration, and so are you, and Nikki too. Take care, Cheri. :)

This is so cool. I can't wait..

You both inspire me.. You have to read my Real Live Movement Poem.. Bless you Astra Your fabulous..

Thank you Cheri. You are not afraid to speak your mind and I like your attitude to life. It's catchy. I will get your book when it comes out. You would be nervous, you're better than me. I am terrified my friends will read my book. Ha. No one I have as friends in my life are writers apart from Cassy. I feel braver seeing you doing this and other cool writers too. I wonder will Nikki publish her writing? I must ask her too. I really wish you luck with this, Cheri. Cassy is still editing her book. My, I am honoured that I inspire you. Really? Okay, I will read your hub. Take care, Cheri. Blessing to you always . :)

Well, I'm going to behave myself and refrain from elaborating on the many places my mind might have wondered while reading this. Just know that it did wander; you strike the imagination and get the blood flowing, that's for sure. Another great write. Cheers.

Astra Nomik Hub Author 16 months ago

Hi Doug, oh your mind wandered, haw? LOL. Or is that wondered? I get you, no fear of that. Um, I say my piece and get to the point, that's all. I am not afraid to admit things no matter how unusual they are. If its what I feel, it is worth saying. Thank you for the kind words. :)

I just can't believe your amazing poetry. I find myself clinging to every word. Very appealing to me is "The music of a human soul, etc." VERY VISUAL use of words. I am such a fan! Rated up and awesome.

Astra Nomik Hub Author 15 months ago

Hi vocalcoach, well my poetry can be kind of... em...unusual. I love writing about Love and Romance and Friendship. I know exactly what you mean by music of the soul. I am putting these poems together for a poetry collection to be published some time this year. Thank you for being such a fan. I appreciate the rating too, you are awesome for doing that. :D

Astra Nomik Hub Author 15 months ago

Don't worry Nikki. Neither have I. But the person I wrote this for is well deserving of it. It is hard to explain, but the poem does a good job of saying a lot about it all, so I will let the poem speak for me. And spare anyone any blushes. Heh.

Oh wow Astra, it is not love triangle but actually three people and i hope it wasnt meant more than emotional thing.

Hi sweetie, it is about three people who love each other. And thank you for checking out my poem. It is self-explanatory. :)

Astra Nomik Hub Author 12 months ago

Hi IreneMarieW: ooh, sexy and beautiful. I like your description of my poem "You and me make Three". LOL. Well, it is a bit naughty, but there it is. Sometimes a girl just has to feel the fear and do it anyway. Yes, it is possible for more that two people...I agree very much. :) Thank you.

Very few can broach the subject, but not leave an impression or aftertaste of hedonism. Very romantic, but sensual, a very fortunate guy with two women who both love him and each other equally. Awesome...

Astra Nomik Hub Author 11 months ago

Hi A.A.Zavala: thank you for the comment. It is very possible for a woman to have such feelings. And yes, it can be and is sensual and romantic. And of course, it is not a "guy" as you mention, but a woman. :)

Hi Augustine, I am (kind of) well. (Long story for another day.) LOL. I hope you are well and doing great. This poem was unusual for me, and got plenty of people's attention. Oh wow, a collection of poems were created? Really? Oh was it in Hub Pages or is it somewhere else? Gee, I wish I knew about it sooner. Thank you for telling me, you're a star. And thank you for linking me too. :)

Hi carolinemd21: that is sort of a good basic description of what is going on in this poem. There is comforting, and a lot more besides. Thank you for the comment. The person it is written for is very special. :)

Astra, you sure knows how to spellbind your readers with your loving, sensual and very erotic words! Wow! This is a very honest love poem, perhaps a little bit naughty in a very romantic sort of way. Only a very talented writer as yourself could get away with this!! Just brilliant!

Astra Nomik profile image

Astra Nomik Hub Author 2 months ago

Hi Sannel. My poetry sometimes has that affect on people. LOL. Yes, it is all of these things. The person I wrote it for understands the meaning better than anyone...

I toned it down somewhat, as I don't want to alienate anyone, but give the hint as to what it is about. It's a threesome. LOL. Thank you for the comments, Sannel. :)
