Death of Atlantis

The beauty in heartbreak is knowing
That you can only feel this low now
Because you felt so alive once before
So I sit alone in my thoughts of you
Not a moment wasted
We loved and grew together
We dissected every single aspect of reality
And came to the joint conclusion that
It's all just bullshit anyways
So I sit alone in my thoughts of you
Star crossed twin flames
We planted our seeds a thousand lifetimes ago
With each turn of the page
We get to sit and watch our tree grow
Maybe next time we'll get to sit under our tree for a little bit longer
And once again experience true home
So I sit alone in my thoughts of you
Comfortable in the fact that
Somewhere in the multiverse
You and I are sat on my sofa listening to Earth Ancients
Me giving you that "I told you so" look
Evetime Cliff brings up the Akashic Records
Uncomfortable with the knowledge that
It'll almost definitely never happen again in this one
So I sit alone in my thoughts of you
Am I awake?
Have I finally gone insane?
Is there even a difference?
If I dream of you tonight
I won't want to wake up
I can't wake up
I can't keep losing you
So I sit alone in my thoughts of you
I wonder if the sun will even rise again tomorrow
Or if these tears are destined to bring forth the destruction of Atlantis?
And then I smile a little bit inside
Because you're the only person alive
Who'd have found that shit funny

4am again
I can't pretend the light ain't seeping in
If I was a gremlin
This would surely be the end
My friend
This cabin in the woods
Stood for many years
Regardless of the hardships
The false flags
And foolish fears
Impeccable fortress
Where the grass is overgrown
Maybe if I stay here long enough
The rest of the world will leave me alone
I'm never alone
Kitty's always there looking down on me
Judging my every single movement
Every failed moment
Woven into her tapestry
The owls are my protectors
The birds sing a pretty song
Images lining these walls
Line up to 1 1 1
1 more daydream then I'm done
Put the kettle on
And place you comfortably under my arm
Now this is not forever
This is barley even for now
Dream about you a little bit longer
And avoid the sleep paralysis somehow
But for now I must reside in
This solitary cabin
Looking up at these tall walls
And hope they don't cave in
Images of you and me
Help maintain this structures stability
You're not the cause of my happy
You just add to it
10am again
I can't pretend the light ain't pouring in
The sheep got tired
Of waiting for my wired mind
To expire
Oliver Hart on my headphones
All of her heart is what I want to own
But now I'll lay here on my own
And dream of you

Erratic energy
Elegantly flowing with effortless motion
Lost to the breeze
Disconnected from the ocean
A wayward river
Destructive in nature
A confluence of consciousness
This rivers entwines connecting us
Turbulent
Inconsistent
Isolated
Conflicted
A solo journey
The path of most resistance
The river shivered with indifference
As the sunlight hit your golden
Dancing like flames through the night
Ok, wait
Let’s escape
This landscape
Move forward and forsake
This physical boundary
Embrace a collective reality
Embrace what we are to we
Embrace the owls
They ain’t what they seem
Embrace me a damn fine cup of tea
This is home
This is serenity
“This is the place. This is exactly the way it is supposed to be”
And even if it only lasts a moment?
Well, fuck it!
I’ll hold it
In my heart
And in my memories
For eternity
But incidentally
The symmetry of this energy
Was a trip to me
It lasted for an eternity
And flowed through infinity
Nature bowing to its simplicity
Consciousness constructed
By its complexity
A thousand ships for its beauty
A Blue Rose wrapped in its own mystery
Schrödinger's theory
Where nothing exists outside
This pocket reality
That we created
So effortlessly
The calm was overwhelming
A reflection
Of heaven
That was set in
Our collective imagination
But fuck me, was it compelling?
Trapped between those two worlds
Tracing those three words
Never to be heard
Never to be observed
Forever known
Forever owned
Those words
They aren't a loan
I write them from my home
Trace them onto your skin
So they dissolve
So nobody will ever know
But I know
I'll just lay here and hope this lasts forever
Forever
Forever ever
And as our paths inevitably do part
Leaving my heart
With a to be continued question mark
I know that if I don't kiss you now
You might be gone forever
And as our paths inevitably do part
Leaving my heart
With a to be continued question mark

In Dreams

The ocean was a vast and silent abyss
We danced like fearless children
On purple waves of creation
Before our egos replaced dream
With expectation
We watched Atum rise from the Nu
And set forth a series of events that would inevitably lead
To our final kiss
Fingers intertwined as we tip toed our way to the edge of the multiverse
Tracing multidimensional Ley lines
Each one leading back to our first touch
Tracing new consolations on to your skin
Mapping out new timelines that birth
Life, death, love, hate, beauty, pain
True balance
Together as Sah we sit by the river
Watching countless worlds born
Then blink out of existence
We witness the first rains of Atlantis
As off in the distance gods and peasants acquiesce
To their sentences
Filling pyramids with ancient secrets
That would one day will be considered by the smartest of all
As mythology
We played kiss chase on Mars
Danced to Eyedea amongst the stars
You took a fat cat nap on my lap
And as I stroked your hair
I studied the Akashic Records to see if
Zak Snyder was ever gonna make a decent movie
Or at least one that
Vaguely moves me
We park on Mulholland Drive
I kiss you one last time
Stroke your hair
Held back my cry
And as each bird chirps it's next goodbye
I'm desperately trying to hold on
To that vivid feeling that is you
That is your kiss
Before the distance seems further
The minutes seem longer
And now I'm torn asunder
Lost in a world without you
But, you're always with me
In dreams
And if all dreams are
Are simply windows into alternate realities
And parallel versions of us
Then I never wanna wake up again
Because I miss you
So fucking much

Remember when we were sat by the river
Talking for hours
As we watched the world speed by around us?
Fire and water never danced so elegantly
As when we were together
We watched Ra say goodnight to another day
We walked the smoke filled chaos
With a rose tinted haze
But, little did we know that night
Everything would change
A pack of cards
A hotel lobby
You and me
Lost in conversation
Excavating information
Twin Flames split at creation
If this ain't love
It's a perfect imitation
Spiritual elevation came that night
As your head pressed against my chest
I held you tight
Stroked your hair
Closed my eyes
And realised that
This is what home must feel like
I love you
Never before so lost in a moment
That I can close my eyes
Reach out and still own it
I just want one more day with your flame
Before Anubis takes my heart away to weight
One last kiss
One last moment bliss
Bridging forward a balance that even Ra and Apophis
Couldn't resist
I just want to fall into the Abyss
That is you
My Blue Rose
I could spend the rest of my life watching your erratic energy grow
Peaceful and serine
A dream returning me
To a serenity
That was previously we
The curtains sway in the blood red
Time lost within the chevron
Trapped between our 2 worlds
I dream of you

So it turns out our final kiss had already been experienced
I was just too blind or optimistic to admit it
Now I've always been cool with admitting when I'm wrong
But on this occasion
It fucking hurts man
Our last kiss a rushed bliss in the car park of LAX
I still reflect without a step of regret all of the ways that we grew together
All of the ways that our lives have changed
Forever
I still dream of alternate realities where you and I are happy
Distance isn't an issue and we continue to watch each other grow
I still think about us driving for hours
Through the mountains
Me not being able to take my eyes off of you
I can't say I'm happy with the decision
But I know we both held onto this thing for as long as we possibly could
But with distance being a bell end
And Covid being a massive cunt
There's only so much pain that love can endure
Yet our love still grows
I just wish I had the words to tell you
What a better person I am because of your influence
I just wish I had the words to tell you
That you still mean
Everything to me
I guess I'm having trouble letting go of my true home
I guess I'm having trouble going back the the life I did previously know
I don't want to let you go
I want to stay right here in this conversation with you
Forever
But at the end of the day and above all else
I just want you to be happy
And that doesn't come with the condition that it's me that you've got to be happy with
But I'm not going to lie
I wouldn't mind if I could spend the rest of my life
Or just another few nights
Stroking your hair
So I guess what I want to say is
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be me
Thank you for teaching me how to love unconditionally
Thank you for the world that I now see
Just thank you for seeing me
And remember you're never alone in this life
No matter where you go, my heart will be with you
Fire and water will dance forever
I can't wait to dream about you tonight
I love you
Forever
Across all the realities
Goodbye my love
