Invocation primordial ribbons of infinity pass from the point solitaire of boundless mass where once shades of twilight snuggled within that tiny elemental bomb to an explosive kiss hurled cross time un-ending through space vast eternal distance swelling between shades of twilight resounding harmonics brought us once again into a twilight kiss brought us once again until resounding harmonics between shades of twilight eternal distance swelling through space vast hurled cross time un-ending to an explosive kiss that tiny elemental bomb snuggled within where once shades of twilight of boundless mass pass from the point solitaire primordial ribbons of infinity Author's notes: I wrote that poem a while back about 'soul mates'. this is a slightly different approach to the notion of soul mates. The conventional mystical paradigm goes something like this; A soul, which exists seperately from physical bodies, is created and split in two and sent to dwell in a mans body and a woman's body until they meet and fall in love, etc. etc. etc. Invocation looks at this from the conventional paradigm of a physisist. The universe once existed as a single point. All the matter of the universe -- including the matter that comprises you and I, existed within an extremely dense sphere possibly as small as a pin-head. It is at this point that physics breaks down. Laws make no sense any more. The universe begins to resemble nothing more than a great thought -- or, as I prefer to think of it -- a song. Within Invocation the lovers exist within this tiny sphere -- 'the elemental bomb' -- snuggled together, they are nothing more than twilight, until they 'kiss' which is the spark, the passion, that ignites the big bang and ultimately ignites the universe spreading out from infinietly small to infinitely vast. In the process the lovers are obviously separated, until after eons and eons they are finally configured in a form that comprises the essense of themselves as they existed within the primordial stew, at which time they meet, fall in love, and enjoy another twilight kiss. Entropy wins however, and the lovers cannot remain configured (they die) and dissolve once again into atoms and energy scattered across a cosmos that now is contracting to the big crunch -- the point in time when all matter will reconvene at a single point -- when they will again re-unite, kiss, and the process begins again. Now... the topic question is... do I believe there is one for each??? A unique one??? I don't know, I think at different points in my life I've loved uniquely... that is -- I loved persons in the way I knew how and was capable at that point in time. Because I loved them I've learned a great deal about how to love someone, and may be able to love in a way, to a greater extent and depth than I would have otherwise. Because I've lost them to the universe, I've learned not to let human weakness separate me from love.... and I do not preclude the possibility that a person can love or be 'in love' with more than one person. |

Problematic Disposition of Soul Mates © by Night Hawke in a finite universe 'Love is proximity' she'd say nails stroking over taught skin teasing waiting for life to flow back self-pleased at her faculty for draining it she smiled petite kisses across his chest 'Soul mates -- no such thing' the student of sociology rendered the notion obsolete the heart is merely victim of geography 'If I hadn't known you since I was born -- if we hadn't lived close enough to Fall -- we'd never have loved like this' she whispered nose buried in his neck Looking back he thinks about it and supposes she was right: --if there was a kind God who made Soul Mates he certainly would put them where they could find each other --eh? for Pantera -- forever |

If I do not move -- does time pass? © by Night Hawke At history's end shines brightly, That omni-infinite star, The Alpha and Omega, So far away so far, But near, it strikes each motion, Hurling shadows to the past, With rays of tempo starkly, Across the mindscape vast. If no one sees me? Or perceives me? Doth this shadow fade, From history's grasp? If I am still in silence, Removed from all repast, Doth this time wait and wither? This gnashing moment cast? I see and I have seen, The very edges only, Of the scope of this existence, And in each minute atom, Each force weak and strong, Conserved through time's persistence Moment by each moment, Strung like strings of harps, The very stuff that is us, That is our minds and hearts, Circumscribes eternity, Reverberates with passion, The fugue of space defines us, From harmony we're fashioned. And I still hear you; Each trill and chord and tremolo played, Each note and rest and measure, Each pianissimo and crescendo's fade, And the tempo of your pleasure, I hear you. Ringing. But if I move not, Does time pass? sometimes it still seems like yesterday [This message has been edited by Local Rebel (edited 09-06-2000).] |
