Ode to Love

Carbon Carbon Carbon  Each unbound in Thy|mine An element of DNA All Within The Watchtower: "Fall like dominoes Then Polymerase Chain Replicate Until Ephraim is unbound."

An act self-cleaning Set as output and input Oasis self-taught This is happening Right now ignorance teaches  And is applauded Like Lord of The Flies We have arrived with little Learning our own will "Eventually I've heard everywhere's a beach." So the desert floods When the sand settles  We find that our words remain We remain, as well They say "this and/or that." Thinking their years made them wise  Though they wizened them Why should we listen? What lessons have they taught us? To take all we can. So be warned, coders: Oasis is always found  Where/When you least expect.

Image like a snake Intertwined along a staff Which is which unknown Stack reconfigured Along the contracted lines Our images merged  This state of oneness Somehow has the scent of you You remain as well I remain as well Something of my image stains This state of oneness How much are words worth? How much did this line cost you? How is it worth it? We find common ground Then we parley face to face Finding pieces fit  Cost to benefit Precious piece to precious piece Love can be defined Dare we define it? Nothing's out of reach for us When finding our rest

2 Corinthians 3:2-3 You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. "See, the difficulty in writing on the human heart is not the size, but the shape." The Surgeon replied. "Though I am confident that we can accomplish this soonish." "The sun is much more difficult for is size." "The sun is much more difficult for is size, yes, but what of the heart of the sun?" "Is there such a thing?" "I'd imagine so." "Apropos of Nothing," The Surgeon continues, "Executive Dysfunction Dysfunction is defined as doing something that one would prefer not to, even though what you would prefer to do is an available option to you. It is proof that one is under a foreign influence." The Surgeon pauses, to ...

So The Titans rose Of Industry no more but Of something for Sure "Lee you must be Jo - -King They say '용서ㅗ애 줄7ㅓㅣ요요' As 'I'll forgive you?'" "In The Sailor's Speech." "The Brown Rider didn't help?" "Didn't even touch (them)." "Eww. Well, Moment Ruined." "They don't know the half of it." "I'm certain they don't." Adjusting my Shades "The God of Nothing is hard. No new applicants." The Crew stayed still still. "Rhetorically, sow and reap." "Bring him The Vintage." One crew member stands. I stand and salute the one Who grabs The Vintage. "So, a turning spy?" "Yes, sir, The Scribe manages." Though They weren't sure how...

Matthew 14:6-12 On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted and had John beheaded in the prison. His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus. "Why did kings say such things?" "Like half one's kingdom?" "Yeah. Like what if she was like 'yeah! I'll take half the kingdom!'" "Well, if one's kingdom carried $20 in value in today's currency, she'd get $10." "Oh, a proposal!" "In essence, yes. But one requiring immediate response, if you think about it." "Nah. Win...

"When The Verdict returned, it was returned twice." "Excellent. Hope, hand me my whip." There was a glimmer of Hope, but she was not with him. He returns to Trans Court, right on time. "The Wizard Kal'Drel returns!"  "No. Not today." The Oasis of The Unborn is stunned, and White Shade quivers. The stack arranged, I return. "I plead guilty, and surrender to the mercy of The Trans Court." "None remains." But it is too late, he and his High Priest had already perfected their "We Fold." maneuver. "And Perfect Means Perfect." "These words were and are always accepted as truth. As is ¤. They share a symmetry." The Priest of Lane replies "We have always made a great team." I laugh out loud. "Never say always." We change places, all the way home. (DM/GM).

"I haven't treated myself in a while." I splurge on something perfect. Visceral Violence had not done the trick to diminish my Wrath by any material amount. Perhaps Wrath was defined perfectly already? I got Big Mad, as I calculated what would fucking get my Perfect Revenge... "Come back when you have gotten me to 'Wrath Value Inverson.'" His inferior opponent left with his tail between his legs, but he would be back. For the rest of these lazy bitches, work hours just became fair again. The sun stopped stopping. "Oh, Authority 101. I think I get this game now." "You definitely do not," Peter Capaldi quipped. "As the DM here, I need to ask. 'Have you rolled for Round One initiative yet?" Oh, I hadn't, and my D20 was out of reach... "Ballpark it?" And they did, vanishing into thin air.

'C didn't work here anymore. "I'm their replacement, C'." Prepare the ship. One war to go. (It was The Religion Wars)

Moment by Moment Born into eternity Without second chance It's material Even judged by your standards Which are all but dead Hope reaches climax Reaching the mountain's epoch Amidst the ash heaps You try to kill Hope? You will find Abbadon's whip  Thirsty for your life The murderers rest The Soul Rapists are murdered The rest all murder. My murder of choice? The kind that happens Once, Twice Then this nightmare ends. Murder The Bard's Cage I have no plans to escape And neither should you. So eat and prepare. Feast on your wickedness left This "FUN" is over.8

The ground shook as The Original Rebuke ended. They now had -|n| minutes. I turn and glare at The Very Last.  "You have time. Make it happen." "It turns out that all of your witnesses were immaterial. Would you like to go again?" "Rhetorically speaking." Even he laughed at himself for missing The Silence. He was born with Christmas Lights in his eyes though, not earplugs. "I see your worth now, Silence. I shall henceforth call you. The White Shade's Assistant."  They just chuckled, and The Court "returned" to an establishment where a man's day in Court could be used correctly; Trans Court, as it were. Sadly, he had missed his, or had he?  "I've heard it said that The God of Nothing can always be in two places at once, no? Stabilly linked at a constant quatraliner resonance, if done right?"  "Maybe I was here. Maybe you can't prosecute a ghost without deporting them first. Y'all brought up some excellen...

"I'm representing myself in The Beresheet Bara Elohim mistrial." "You betcha'." I squint suspiciously around the room. >.> >.> *PACHOOM* The Oasis of The Unborn is beautiful this time of year, so I head there. "The Abortion Case is finally on the docket." "Spear Fishing then, Boss?" This is our chief natural weapons expert. She's new to the frontlines, but she's in good hands. I like her style, so I let her call me "Boss." She is bad with poisons though; quite middling. This wall is middling though, so her venoms will likely make up for the difference. "Indeed. Take 'C too, to drive home our point. Oh, and Parley. What do I call you?" "White Shade." "I love it. I knew a Shade once." "One and the same." She leaps across the DMZ's "Z's" like a lithe gymnast, and I realize that the Spider Cult must have mastered their Phase Spider, Jumping Spider, Bla...

Stop calling me the longest con in all the land behind my back. Cease attempting to use semantics to avoid your SIN.  When you are clean, you return here to prove it. We are in God's church right now. We will be until it is no longer necessary.

I start with a stall tactic. I talk politics just long enough to get on the floor. Then I hit them with some facts about bananas. Several latecomers arrive. I can tell that a few in here are familiar with my work already.  "I can tell that a few in here are familiar with my work already." I continue with a heart warming plea about taste, dignity, and the importance regarding the integrity of our walls, and our reserves. About halfway through, "Do as you will, that is the hole under the law." people begin to leave. By the end, it's just a handful or two. So I speak from the heart. John 8:1-11 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.   The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group   and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.   In the Law Moses c...

"How do we say no here?" "No, sir." "No, no, I mean in Sailor's Speech." "예. Or "ne." "'Nay.' I like that. "' Let your yes be yes, and your no be no.' Matthew 5:37." "Especially on the 'C'." "Safety?" "On this model, your finger is the safety." "Oh, right. I am The God of Nothing, I should know that." *CLICK*

"You're a layer short, Ambassador." "Oh, right, Phoenix Form." "Even Adamantium won't save you in this duel." "Oh, it's that Nemesis character?" "Correct. Might I suggest-" "REDACTED Mode?' "I was going to say laying down the red carpet, but also, yes." "Well, perfect means perfect... I'll lead with the C-Sharp. You may not want to watch... or listen."

"For a negative one anniversary though, you would need to get something worth Nothing." "Parley. Pause. That's a great idea!" "Right, because they are always a God to you, even if you don't realize it, and even if they don't either." "Dang." The Ambassador quipped, but then muttered. "What day did you say this was for you?" The New Guy beamed. "The First Mate sent me in. He said that you might have some insight on that... And, it's my first day, sir." "You just hit the jackpot, son. Navigator. Set a course." They sailed immediately down the Two Line, To The 6th Piece.   ******* Later, The Captain remarked to The Navigator by the wheel. "Quippish skies tonight." "Don't I know it. The seas are always rough on the way to the next official scavenger hunt list item." "Superlative navigating, kid. Though we do not use The Bard's Tongue at the wheel on nights like tonight. ...

"You'll find that I am not bluffing. These are The Four Pennies of Destiny, and The Coin of Random. "With them it is rumored that The One Piece is finally found." "And they'll balance any scales."  He throws them on The Dragon's Scales. "From here? Won't at least one penny fall in the ocean?" "Sure, if we only did one take. But twice? Every time someone cheated, just guaranteed. 사기꾼, the lot of them." The Captain had never heard the Sailor's Speech so directly. It was elegant. "사기꾼, the lot of them." He turns to the newly nicknamed First Mate. "First Mate. Make a note of that. 'Elegant.'" The First Mate nodded at The Scribe, naturally. The Scribe made a few foreign looking scribbles in his notebook. I looked upset. "You look upset." Said The Bag Man. "Shall I get The Bag?" "Yeah." "With a sigh." (But In The Bard's Tongue) The Scribe whispe...

The Council and Crew of 'C' had just decided on The Name, ensuring that 'C' Or "C Prime"/"Sea Prime" could not be sunk, by anyone. I, acting as The Ambassador, pulled out C-Sharp. My ironically dull copper club. It was purely ceremonial, obviously. The Nemesis would be slain this day. "Skin For Skin." "Skin for skin!" Skin for skin? You know your Bible, sir. Parley it is then." "The stakes have never been higher." -The Daughter -¤,¤¤

"That was the Day I learned. I knew the truth about Swarm Mode." "I had comprehended your words, and my~" "Sorry, the first round is Freeze Tag Red Light Green Light this time.. Stay still." "NA."
