The Origin of Love

Sat Feb 14, 2009, 9:41 PM
"When the earth was still flat,
And the clouds made of fire,
And mountains stretched up to the sky,
Sometimes higher...

Folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kegs
They had two sets of arms,
They had two sets of legs
They had two faces peering
Out of one giant head
So they could watch all around them
As they talked, while they read

And they never knew nothing of love
It was before... the origin of love
The origin of love

And there were three sexes then,
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the sun

And similar in shape and girth
Were the children of the earth
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one

And the children of the moon
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon
They were part sun, part earth,
Part daughter, part son...

Oh, the origin of love

Now the gods grew quite scared
Of our strength and defiance
And Thor said,
"I'm gonna kill 'em all
With my hammer,
Like I killed the giants"

But Zeus said, "No,
You better let me
Use my lightening, like scissors,
Like I cut the legs off the whales
And dinosaurs into lizards,"
Then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh,
Said, "I'll split them right down the middle,
Gonna cut them right up in half!"
And then storm clouds gathered above,
Into great balls of fire...

And then fire shot down
From the sky in bolts
Like shining blades
Of a knife

And it ripped,
Right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun,
And the moon,
And the earth

And some Indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole,
Pulled it round to our belly
To remind us of the price we paid
And Osiris, and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane,
To scatter us away,
In a flood of wind and rain,
And a sea of tidal waves,
To wash us all away,
And if we don't behave
They'll cut us down again
And we'll be hopping round on one foot
And looking through one eye--

...

Last time I saw you,
We'd just split in two
You was looking at me,
I was looking at you,
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize
'Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine

That's the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Tried to shove ourselves back together
We was makin' love,
Making love

It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It's the story of
The origin of love.

That's the origin of love."

I am Jadestone.
I play the flute, and ice hockey.
My music of choice ranges from classical to death metal.
I am more comfortable with a hammer and power drill than with makeup.
I love being outside and on the computer.
I may not speak often but that doesn't mean I don't think about anything and everything (indeed, I am often so caught up in my thoughts that I forget to talk).
I am shy, but I like meeting interesting people, so talk to me if you wish.

Not too sure about your drawing :\

But your photography is awesome, have you been all those places?? i cant think of anywhere nearby to me with anything so beautiful looking :(
Eheh, my drawing is rather bad, which is why there's to much of it in here.

Thanks though ;) Most of the pictures I have come from my backyard, and some others from vacation. Beauty can be in a lot of unexpected places, you just have to look for it... I've found some of the loveliest gardens in the middle of towering cities.

And also you live in NEW ZEALAND what do you mean there's nowhere near you that's pretty? XD
