==============================================


This is going to be a series of works all closely or distantly related to a core subject that can't really describe through words. It is more a... feeling. No, not a feeling, a... an entity of thought or something. A different realm

Ah yes, of course - the title of my thread works nicely here

A Dream Landscape

- - - - - -

Essentially, there are a lot of things, and this has been going on for a while, as most things do for me. But then they come out. And I found something last night that rolled around in my mind and I thought - "Hey, this would be a good introduction for a DOL thread" because I could relate it to so many things...

I suppose I should preface this thread with the statement of sentimentality and symbolism. For instance, PRIDE is my favorite song of all time, but it is so because it is more than the lyrics and beat, rythem, etc. The meaning it has taken for me and my life is something truly grand. But the point of this paragraph is that what I write below may not convey what I feel, but I will try to do one of two things - either convey that feeling as accurately as possible, or secondarily, expand upon the manifestation of the original thought and try to create it into something else "I can use"

I've said it before, but I write mostly as a way of understanding or remembering. But anyhow, I suppose I will talk more about this later. I'm sort of itching to start this, but I hope I haven't deluded my aspirations and ambitions too much to commence properly....

Without further preluding........
Here is "the spark"
That set this thread in motion.
But the "meat and potatos" of it has been "brewing" for a while now... Those veggies have been ripening for a while, and it's about time for them to be picked...

Ah!
alright, here it is


=================


...they have all chances to create a happy union where the heart and emotions will never be absent.

The woman, sensitive and romantic, is always on the lookout for the ideal man. She knows him: it's he who occupies the greatest part of her dreams. Precisely, the man she just met resembles him strongly. Like the man of her dreams, he is gentle, charming, tender, sensitive, and affectionate. Now she is ready for the great passion.

Most often, indeed, these partners know a deep and passionate relationship. Each partner gives the best of himself or herself to the other, without reserve and without after-thought. They are both intuitive, and each can anticipate the desires of the other.

Mutual understanding can be perfect here because no pettiness, no hypocrisy, and no spite will come and trouble it.

These two partners are truly destined for the happiness that they search for sincerely, and are ready to do whatever is necessary to preserve it.


==============


This thread will undoubtedly have something to do with relationships. But I have no idea as to what sort of spin will be placed on them. The title is "Dream Landscape", and perhaps I am taking the role of a Dream Landscaper. But, I don't know... I just wanted to have a thread where I could throw all of these things together, keep them slightly organized.

I wonder just what this is going to be for me, though...
 
Dream Landscaper I




So, what is it?
who is he?
Who is this who sits and waits and ponders
What a strange boy
What a strange man
Neither of those, though

A Dream Landscape
More like "the matrix"
But what is this

What is this...
A period of waiting, waiting still.
Landscaping? Preparing
What for, always, what for

(dare I....
(dare I say it....?)

For...

Honor???



I feel like I'm trying to punch a whole through the walls of time and space and reality. To get to... the other side (?). Other side of the earty? or is it time, or space, or reality?

It's like... incubation
But maybe in a bad way.... :huh:
 
I'll be reading this and trying to digest it for I'm sure your findings or awakenings (more to the point) will be interesting to say the least:wink:

from my daily reading of The Hobbit:

"The Elvenking had received news from his own messengers and from the birds that loved his folk, and already knew much of what had happened. Very great indeed was the commotion among all things with wings that dwelt on the borders of the Desolation of the Dragon. The air was filled with circling flocks, and their swift-flying messengers flew here and there across the sky."

-----------------

In case you wonder how my daily reading works.....I just open The Hobbit book and whatever page it opens is my reading for the day.....I normally use the paperback version because I write notes inside the book........so it could be any of the 306 pages.

You must tell me, Wizard, if you can


What is the message they were talking about?


I received news today, serious news, and now I'm here, on guard duty... The Fire Horse is .... fufilling her destiny, so to say... :| :| :| :|
 
I already knew much of what had happened, but... not quite the whole story. And then events took place.

(I'm my last few posts, in "Chapters of Analysis", and here, are not fictional at all. I am on guard duty, and it is late, and things are happening here...)
 
Dream Landscaper II



In the night, in the night, in the night
It always comes out, the One.
"Beautiful Day"... no, not really, something much different - the Dream Landscaper
Shadow in the moon, Shadow in the moon
Standing there, waiting and watching
The events are unfolding all around him, and he sees the patterns
The patterns, those patterns...


People...
decimated, destroyed

... Pages turning infront, what to learn
It's nothing
It's just the course
The way things go

No tears
No fears

They are just seen on others cheeks
ANd in others voices, the straining, the dreams

The dreams lost
The dreams strived for - they... they're

gone




"And your earth moves beneath your own dream landscape"


-------------------------------

I started writing this
But then the
Inauspicious Fire Horse walked into my room and handed my something

Can you see the turning point?
 
I won't be able to write until she leaves....

It's like... such a presence


such a force, now that she is up for the morning...

So much negative energy, her... her every movement an expression of her sadness and ... shame...

the bridge

A Bridge Between the Two



____________________________________________________
I don't believe this...


Yes, you are right


"What a life"
- the Inauspicious Fire Horse.


I'll do all that I can to do what's right, I'm on your side, indeed


But I don't know... am I a match for destiny?
How can I contend with...

"fate"

____________________________________________________




See, this is where I say
I am the Dream Landscaper

For... it's the only way I could battle against this... thing
These.... situations....
If I can reach through the moon and pull myself out the otherside, well, maybe things will be different. But on one level, I'm honestly trying to figure out what my role in this all is.

How am I supposed to... alter... the course of an Inauspicious Fire Horse? What can I really do against that?

I'm not The Dream Landscaper, that "thing" is not me, it is just a metaphor for numerous things.

But I have this horribly... odd... feeling that I'm seeing the depths of destiny infront of me.




And it raises me this one question -


What is my destiny



...or more so
Do I have any control over it at all?

(note: essentially all the posts so far have not followed the idea generated by my introduction to this thread. There is, however, a relationship to that... but... it is much wider a scope, more unexpected than I ever expected. I suppose, like many things in life, the essence of any thing or situation is not really understood or shapeable unless the past and surrounding environment is examined...

To say it more simply - this thread so far has been about one union, one relationship, one situation that is completely beyond my control yet apparently playing a huge part in my life course. It is almost fitting, in a terrifylingly ironic way, that a thread originally about my ideals of love and destiny and the likes begin with... what is happening now in my life.)

Sorry to not having replied sooner....but I've been migraine-bound the past few days.....'tis better to battle the dragon than a migraine {but migraines are Middle Earth things} where I'm stuck until I reach my destiny.

"What is my destiny

...or more so
Do I have any control over it at all?"

Most don't......some do........some of us actually "create" destiny {or the future}.

PS: Your writing intriques me......it gives me much to ponder.
 
Wow, this is bad


I forgot what I as going to say, completely

Hah, you've given my your headache, it seems. Hahahah.
No, I know what my headache is from, sort of...
 
Focus, to




If I could focus all my thoughts
Observations, notices. No how to psych break someone down
And worry about them and only them
In the considerate and worldly way
Then that's what I would want
I'd need someone pure enough, strong enough to base it around.
With some reciprocation, but...
Monogamy, Monogamy

I am your biggest fan.

Just one 'one and only'
That's all I want
To accept my faults, and let me keep her happy.

No pettiness, no pettiness
I wonder
Who wants to be loved like that?

Who can handle it, that much, that sweet?
And why am I compelled to say it in such a way...
What is wrong with me
So indifferent

Enough to say

There is everything else, and then there is love.
Looking for
Generalativity + Quantum mechanics, the one theory to blend them
The String theory, the M theory...

LIfe and love, duty and monogamous glory.
What is the balance?
How do they interact
Dream and dilemma?

Can I manifest a dream into this world?
I don't know, I don't know.


And my earth moves beneath
My own dream.. landscape.........
 
Tenderness A



Her touch, so tender
Every movement an expression of her feminimity
I am drawn, irresitably
I can't help but stare

Fully clothed
In her natural self she stands, she moves
Fluttering about, in her natural patterns
At home, she's lovely, I just want to make love, I do

Make love with my words, with my care, with my actions, how to show her
The way of my soul
To be so close means so much to me
That is all I'd need

Let me stand
"Let me stand..."
Hendrix, Jimi... my man...

Let me stand next to her tenderness.....
And no one could ever put my fire out.
 
Love Mercenary A
(an excript by the love mercenary)

I'm simple, I'm easy
show me what you've got
And if it's right , then you got it
But I'm so simple, I'm a love machine
Deduce, reduce, disect, observe
Can you manage, what is it like?
DOes it mean anything to you
Can you tell me
How do you show
How do I know

I don't know, there's no emotion
Just the emotion that flies outward
It takes .... someone special to unlock it....
ALways different

Everyone is different, like chemicals
Mix me with some and the reaction varies
From time to time
But the love mercanary cannot hide, I cannot look away

It's simple
There is no one who can infatuate me, not anymore
I'm too cold
Unless you make me want to love

Then, if that's the case
You've earned it
 
Like the sun



The only way it can die
Is to collapse under it's weight
And crush itself completely.
It burns out, it fades away
But there is only one course of action

I can't live without it
But I know I can

I, the dreamer on the moon,
Waiting for the song to come true
TO break through
To break through

"The final distance"''

But no, here I wait, in the dream land
Looking at the world, in waiting
Training for my dream to come true
Rather like a fool, it seems

Wait for just the right one
The right moment
Always the battle is
What if that moment never comes...

What if I am wrong
Who would wait for me...?
 
FH, hopefully I'll have time to check in here regularly again soon, until then all I'll say is that all of your writings seem to have purpose atleast in my mind..............
 
Even when they don't sometimes I look back and it looks like they do......



Yes, ZeroDude, I hope you are a regular appearance here again.

Very........ interesting....


Reminds me of my early stuff, in some ways, though yours is certainly brazen in it's own respect, minifly


I wonder if you would explain your work?


Heh........ destiny

"(How it burns....burns my destiny into my very soul! Fire woman....you ARE to blame!)"


I almost feel mocked.
Personal irony is a strange thing....
 
(something quick, painless)





Making improvements
(And you're the one - there's no one else)




The more I see myself
The more beyond the mirror
The more I see us together, love.

I'm learning, I'm almost there..........

I'm getting better
I'm learning how to smile.......
.......so that when you're down I can smile for you
.......so that when you're happy, I'll be happy too

Life/Love, Live/Love

I'm learning, I'm getting better....
I'm not there yet.
But I can see us, love.
I can see us together more now than ever


....


The moon won't have to reflect it anymore
Our dream landscape...
I'm coming, love
I will break through

I'd ask you to wait but I know I need not
I'm going as fast as I can, and you are too
We just have to keep getting better
Preparing, getting ready
For that journey

For....... our journey.



Together
