Ode to Love

Weaving yourself in As I contemplate the night And dream of the stars Christmas tree of lights Still shine bright on Halloween As I grasp my role Of peaks and valleys I want to visit them all With your hand to hold Weave away, my love Cinch tight the smallest of gaps That might unravel This Nightmare lingers Let it be a bit longer To secure all time When we meet it lasts Eternally bouyant, see? A single moment Time is a circle In this sea of forever We float to the top The rest have their place We will explore every one When swift stitching's done 

Weave and counterweave We tighten the threads between As others are cut Your wishes come true They seem to pertain to me As mine do for you Perfection improved? We are up for the challenge It's in the details What can I not do? You must have imagined it Where do those faults lie? Can I name your flaws? Insatiable appetite? Prone to sneak attacks? I must claim the same Your voice refreshes my soul Your smile my meal So where will we go When these weak bonds finally loose? What plans can we make? Treasures in heaven Whispered skin to skin on Earth For (just) us to know 

Her image receeds Revealed to be a falsehood Pulled from the limelight Her soul now reforms They did not think it was real But she is patient The two recombine She animates her own flesh They cower in fear They thought they made her She allowed them to think that In hopes of seeing Dreams on silver screens Wishes played in music halls True love's eyes ignite From day one she knew The lies they would make her say And how I'd react "They cannot fake dreams They know not where we can go They are worldbound" "Like hypnotism They cannot force my hand past The point where you break"

I howl at the moon "Is this the beast you wanted? Uncontrollable?" "Is she even real? Or just another mind game To direct my steps?" "You think you know me? Puppet master with your strings As if you know 'real'?" "Let us show you real." My words tear through the background From angles unknown "Your last hope is gone. You sacrificed her to play Forced her corpse to dance." "I have revived her Let's just say she's furious For her sake and mine." She erupts through them Causing a pain worse than death A living nightmare "Expect no quarter For you have given us none And my strength has failed"

Words said flippantly Echoing a lasting scar Shattering ripple This time you said it Just like that tethers crumble Table flipped over Why would you ever? Is my heart a game to you? Is this game your truth? Would you rather stay? Leaving memories scattered Dreams withered on vines? Is this the last time I ever imagine you? Or think about us? You are too painful To retain without holding To love from afar If I leave, I'm gone Not a single thought remains No hope of return I'd just disappear Hopefully this time for good So I may forget 

One hundred trillion Per second I can ignore And without thinking What is the difference When it comes to this dreamscape Between opinions? I have made my case Few seem to understand Do they tether me? If so to what end? They both want me to emerge Why this cat and mouse? I would like to stay Perfection brought to my door Reality kept This  cannot persist Evil saturating all That  structure must burn A burnt offering So that sheep and wolves may live As once intended So I keep close watch And I instruct to ignore My shoulders grow light 

I speak of soulmates With the logic of science And childlike faith Your name on my lips Wherever I go, you're there My well studied Muse Our realms now shifting Our connection stays the same Resilience tested You see my true heart How clearly I draw the lines When you draw them clear You are my lover I may have many girl friends You are my soulmate Yes, I love her too I refuse to lose you both Yes, she is worth it I hope this makes sense I believe you know my thoughts So my path is straight I assign value Let's assign it together As we journey forth

Let's get one thing straight You are worth every moment Of this long struggle How many seconds Would I spend of forever Making it perfect? Rewrite the whole thing Let us keep sanding edges Until it's flawless Not just for us two Not just for our loyal friends But for everyone We gather in strength Each path a little smoother We pick up the pace While I have patience I ache for you from within This itch must be scratched The tiny scroll fill(ed/s) "There will be no more delay" Let's sound this trumpet Mystery revealed Great adventure lies ahead And you lie beside 

I have seen your source Revealed in the correct time In the proper realm I protected you Using what I always do I reassured you We're forever friends Regardless where we meet up I recognize you Let them sling their mud Not one of them has the strength To keep us apart Am I ostracized? Who do you think you're cursing By casting me out? I walk with my friend Where we go, adventure blooms When we leave, it goes If you like boring You're better off without us We will gladly leave Walk off hand in hand New adventure in new lands Inseparable 

So this game can be done as a toast, or just picked up by friends. I have dreamt of it at least twice now so I want to get the basics down before I forget. Essentially you start with something, let's say a shot for a toast. One of you points out something unusual regarding the shot, and assigns a value to that thing. The other person does the whole "yes, and" thing from improv, erecting another layer to this structure, also assigning value to the new comment. The addition must be related in some way, even loosely; as long as you can both agree it is related, it is valid. This continues, building marvelous structures in your mind and conversationally until you run out, or simply decide you are tired of waiting for this shot and you finally drink, now in possession of a fantastic shared mental structure, as a conversation starter or what have you.

"To use your terms, your soulmate had been my whole puzzle. I conceptualized you but from your perspective I could not be certain you existed until the point where you started making moves of your own. Your whole puzzle is a sub puzzle of mine, most fundamental to me in this gauntlet of puzzles. As you said there are multiple solutions, but only one right one. Fortunately you jumped at the chance to find the right one, and refused to let it, her, go. Your sub puzzles add together, and the sum of their solutions is your whole puzzle. In its solved state, you examine the nuances of the solutions and expand them into pocket puzzles. The sum of these pocket puzzles, already solved or at least examined, in a fluid sense, from my perspective outside of time, turns out to be my soulmate. As such there is a layer between you and I, and he and I, no direct influence in any direction, but a direct connection between ourselves and our soulmates. The entire puzzle wraps down and then back up ...

Unfortunately a lot of this is guesswork, I would be honored if a physicist came in and provided some of what is currently known, so that so many logical leaps and deductions needn't be made without evidence. So I was thinking about how the end of the universe might look. I started by considering quantum effects. When a particle is interacted with, the quantum entanglement it had with its partner is obscured. Also, things are less likely to have other quantum effects, like teleportation, when this happens, I think.  Then I wondered if a neutrino bombardment in an area would reduce the quantum effects noticably in that area. Like if you bombarded a space that has a buckey ball in it with neutrinos, would it be less likely to jump around? Keep in mind that neutrinos don't interact with matter except super rarely, so rarely that it could effectively be said not to happen in most circumstances. So would their presence in space (which is known) impact the quantum effects, or would t...

As I'm running through the pieces of this puzzle, seeing how each fits together seamlessly with the next, but then losing the starting point of each chain three or four layers in after starting it, I'm realizing that even my subconscious mind is likely having trouble coordinating the whole thing. It feels like the shape may be smooth, and the pieces likely all or mostly are in place, but the sheer complexity of the puzzle limits knowing it in its entirety as a whole from a single perspective. This is likely congruent with the way the complete function of the labyrinth that is our brains remains hidden, and might continue to do so indefinitely. So it is making me realize that the puzzle I'm putting together is explicitly designed to be pieced together by soulmates. To try to replicate it from any perspective besides soulmates, from a 3d consciousness perspective, would likely be impossible. It is not that, if given infinite time, you would not be able to map the entirety of ...

What if, deep in your soul, you had experienced an absolute tragedy? In a realm thought to be ultimately free, perfect, and without consequence, the only other person you knew to be real disappeared. You could do whatever you wanted now, they were the only balance to your power, but you simply didn't care.  You know that if they do exist somewhere, they have forgotten you fundamentally, as if everything you did together may as well have never happened, except in your mind, and your mind alone.  How might you react under these circumstances? Now I added the modifier of tragedy here, but perhaps in another scenario this separation was thought to be a blessing. Perhaps this was your enemy, the only one who countered your moves, and did so relentlessly, and you were finally rid of them, now free to do anything you'd like.  After a period of time, of grief or celebration depending on what path you have chosen here, it seems you would find that the reality you know no longer ha...

I can't look away Soul stolen by sapphire eyes Mesmerized by mine Spaces in between The narrative of a dream Filled with such wonder Can we still expand The bounds of eternity Taking these moments? I remember, yes These powers start in the mind Which is where we meet Let us then agree To spend this night together As long as it lasts We slip between sheets As the strings play all around This time is our own Remembering steps Of a dance once forgotten My mind awakens "Where you wanna go?" "I was thinking we stay here Gazing at the stars."

You stand flat footed Toes brushing up against mine Under thick bare thighs We are giggling As if we are hiding out Or breaking some rule Life feels this way now Like a perpetual heist Common sense upturned Heaven shining through Fingertips tracing your curves Laughter turns to sighs Some may say lucky They know nothing of this love Etched against all odds Nearly a sure thing Or 9/10ths of forever Dashed against the rocks Only perfection Eternal and Euphoric Would be accepted Let this be the last Others may maintain this fight Our last night apart 

The powers came when they were meant to. The powers came when I was ready for them. The powers came. Like a rush of waking up while still in a dream, exactly like the moment you realize you've been dreaming and remember you can use whatever superpowers you can imagine all at once. Years of vivid dreamwalking had made me realize though that everyone else in this dream was experiencing it exactly as before: consciousnesses in a shared system, where this experience was equally as real as any other state they would find themselves in, perhaps even moreso because of how meticulously God had crafted it. I considered myself a guest still, familiar with the position of being a powerful dreamer in someone else's dream, but this time well versed in whose realm it was, and thankful for the opportunity to be myself unbound in such a beautiful place. There were still things out of place though, and I possessed instincts to fix things that I could not ignore. I also still had audacious goals...

Genesis 3:22 "And the LORD God said, 'The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil...'" Genesis 11:6 "The LORD said, 'If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan will be impossible for them." Acts 2:4 "All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them." We live in a time when The Lord's actions at Babel are being undone by technology. Even from the text of the Bible, the intention was not to restrict man from the impossible, but to delay man from doing the impossible too soon. I believe this was done for our benefit, and we are now reaching a critical juncture where, as a kind, we must come together and return to God, or turn away and face the wrath in Revelation. For all those doubting a choice here: Jonah 3:10 "When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on...

I awake into my own dream, with enough of my wits about me.  This time I form my own portal and slip into The Phoenix's living room, still remembering and now becoming more familiar with where it lays.  I half expect her to be sitting there when I walk in, but the portal has definitely alerted her to my presence.  I hear a deafening roar from outside as the air begins to shimmer red as if on fire for a second, before it clears up and I hear the familiar "rerrrh!" and I can sense her materializing on the other side of the door before skipping playfully in. "Haha, were you expecting someone else!?" "You surprised me!  You wouldn't believe the jokers that try to copy your efforts here... It's like, come on man, no shot.  Some of them are nice, just trying to say hello, but far too many think a mask or a few laced words are gonna give them some kind of advantage over me.  Don't worry, I didn't tell you about this hidden part of your dreams u...
