The song ‘Sweet Dreams’ by LaBouche was released in the mid-’90s and was a major hit. I still remember it was the second song on side B of one of my recorded cassettes. It takes me back to my glory days and makes me smile{not dream 😉 }. And, just like all my music-inspired poems, I suggest playing the song{which I have embedded below for your convenience} as you read; it truly elevates the experience!
Real Dreams in Dream Reality poem by Ruelha
Dreams are reality; reality is just a dream! When I close my eyes, nothing is as it seems Dreams are reality; reality is but a dream! When my peepers are shut, everything fits within my colour scheme Sweet dreams of rhythmic passion Laced with non-verbal interaction Dancing through the night As if everything were alright Fantasy is a form of relief When reality is all about grief When the mind already knows But the heart is unwilling to forego Sweet dreams are like a practical tease Keeps you going like a rat following cheese But la-la land is nothing but a trap Sooner or later, out of it to snap Dreams are reality; reality is just a dream! When I close my eyes, nothing is as it seems Dreams are reality; reality is but a dream! When I'm asleep, everything is as per my theme

“Glory Days” A Song By Bruce Springsteen
That ‘RueFully’ Looks Back on Days
Of Glory Oh Dear Rue It’s TRue
Hehe You Can And Will Even Look
Back on Wiki Now And See This is TRue
Ah Yet A Song i Love Even More Called
“These Are The Best of Days”
By The Great Band Styx
As True Dear Rue
Who Sees More
Than Those Who Traverse
The River Styx From The Below to The Above
As A Participant Anthropology Observer Continuing
A Most EPiC Long Form Poem Bible Research Paper
CoMPRiSinG 9.9 MiLLioN Words Now Yet What Really
Started in Research on the ‘Wrong Planet’ Back in the
Days of Below in Hell For me 33 Months in Traversing
My Own Version of the Styx River then Yes 11 Years Now
And 1 Day Writing The Size online of the Equivalent of
16.6 King James Size Bibles in Words Every Consecutive
Day Through Below to Above Now for 4020 Days Including
This Day Now For It is True All THere is Is Now So Obviously
Both The Kingdom of Hell and Heaven Still Exists Now Depending
on What Souls
Are Perceiving
This Eternal Now Now
So Sure Let’s Return Again
To Genesis 1:31 And See What
‘God’ Has to Say All About Creation
According to that Book in the Six Days
of Creation Described Then And oh By the
Way Life’s Not Fair Hehe God Got A Day
Off After Creating Existence in 6 Days
And Had All Kinds of Folks
Helping Him Write,
Edit, and
Print A Minuscule
Effort of About 800,000
Words Over Centuries of Effort
And i Haven’t Had A Day Off in 4020 Days
And Not Only That i Got to Endure Type Two Trigeminal
Neuralgia Assessed Literally As Worse than Crucifixion
From Wake to Sleep For 66 Months Some Folks Say
That the Greatest Accomplishment of Jesus
Was Enduring Crucifixion Anywhere from
3 Hours to 3 Days Oh Lord As
i Screamed to the
Sky at the
Above From
The Below
of That Why me!
Why Have You Forsaken
me it’s What Folks Scream
At The Ceiling in Hell Scream
There is Even A Painting
of What it Looks
Like Called
“Scream”
Anyway Yes Let’s Return
to Genesis 1:31 To See What
“God” Has to Say in that Old Story
Still New Perhaps Now Too As Remember
Now Is all There Ever Was And Ever Will Be Now
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold,
it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Hmm… ‘God’ Seems Like Kind of A Glass Overflowing Dude Like me in that Verse
Now Let’s Move On to the Catholic Church And The Nicene Creed Too As Any
Participant Anthropology Observer Will Do Pursuing All Avenues of CuLTuRE too:
“For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.”
This is my Favorite Part As i Can And Will Truly Relate to it Based on Real Life Experiences that
i Have Documented Fully in Over 100,000 Photos, With Over 10,000 Accompanying THeMe
And MeMe Songs And Associated Supporting Information From YouTube of Course with
The 9.9 MiLLioN Words Now in 99 Months of “SonG oF mY SouL” EPiC Longest Long
Form Bible Poem Out of the 13,000 MiLLioN Words Total in 11 Years And 1 Day Now
That Yes Does Equal The Amount of Words Consecutively Each Day
Without A Break Writing The Equivalent in Size of 16.6 King
James Sized Bibles As Genesis Chapter 1 Verse 31
Comes Above From That Version Now too…
Yet It’s True Before All Of This i Watched
The Code Blue Lights Come on in
The Hospital in ’97 When Katrina
Was Enduring A Very
Tough Labor
Through
The end
Of Her Pregnancy
A Totally Unexpected
Life Threatening Seizure
Suddenly it Felt Like my Whole
World Was Coming to An End
The Ground Was Shaking
Under my Feet Trembling
My Chest Was Tightening
And Folks Looking at
me Thought
i Might
Be Having
A Heart Attack
Clutching my Chest
Yet You See Katrina is
my Everything i Couldn’t See
Life Worth Living At All Without Her…
It’s Like i Didn’t Even Care About the Baby
At all i Even Bargained With God Save my Wife
i’ll Do Anything Take The Baby Send me to Hell
Just Save my Wife i Can’t Live Without Her
So Thank God At that Point the Baby
And Her Survived Yet It’s True
i Already MaDE A DeaL
Then With God
Within
As ‘They’ Say Be
Careful What You Wish
For it Might Just Come True
Fast Forward 51 Days Holding
My Only Child A Son Ryan Taking
His Last Breath Watching Him Live a Life
of HeLL ON Earth For 51 Days Never A Smile
A Whole Existence on Earth Lived in Only Pain Then…
Little Did i Know Then That the Memory of Him Would Save
My Life in Hell ReaL ON EartH One Day As i Would Remember
The Thanks Giving of A Life mine at Least Spent With One Smile in
Heaven Eternally Now Then Far Before i Forgot What the Feeling
of A SMiLe is Eternally Then in Hell For 66 Months too… It’s True
The Horrible Darkness in Hell That Child Experienced on Earth
Is What Gave me the Gratitude Enough in Just Logic
With No Feelings at All For How Fortunate
Enough i Was to
At Least
Breathe
Exhaling One SMiLinG
Breath of LoVE iN This Life At All
Verily Inhaling Peace At Least Once
in a Lifetime of Heaven Now Eternally Then too…
So it’s True i Returned From Hell For 66 Months
to An Eternal SMiLe of Heaven Within Now for Over 100
Months to Be Precise 100 Months And 7 Days Now on This 26th Day Of November, 2021
Fortunate Enough to Recover to Be at my Mother’s Side in ’17 When She Endured No
Food or Drink for 8 Days to Go As Naturally as Possible in this World that Still Affords Pets
More Dignity
And Less
Suffering
At Death
Yes watching
Her Take Her Last
Breath Seemed Deafening
In Silence At First Yet Returning
Home Laying Next to my Wife Still
Surviving And As Beautiful As She Was
That Day of Labor Facing Possible Death
i Understood How Important the Story of
Jesus is As i Was Truly Loved
And For Some Folks
His Story is
As Close
as they Get
to Unconditional
Love in this Lifetime Now…
So In this Way i Still Treasure
Jesus for the Comfort He Brings
To So Many Folks Around the World
Who Never had the Archetypal Bringer
oF LiGHT of Unconditional Love in this Life Now
It’s True my Mother’s Name Helen Means Bringer of LiGHT
And That is What She Actually Did Through Hell and Heaven in
my LiFE Standing by my Side Just Like Katrina and Sister Marie too…
When You Are In Heaven When You Are In Your Glory Days on Earth
And When Thousands of Women Adoringly Look At You With Eyes
of Ecstatic Joy For the Ascending Transcending Dance You Bring
To Their Lives
For A High
They May Never
Forget It’s True Everyone
Loves You In Your Glory Days
When You Are So Adored in Glory This
Way in Eyes So Obviously of Ecstatic Joy
It’s True i’ve Seen Similar Eyes in the Words
of Reaction to A “SonG oFmY SoUL” too Yet
What You Remember That is Really Real
Are the Ones Who Stand By Your
Side In Hell As It’s Worth
Noting There Were
Only A Very
Few Mary’s
And the Such
Standing by the
Story of Jesus in His HeLL ON EartH
too And A Thief of Course on A Same Cross Beside Him Who
Could See Who He Really Was The Essence of Unconditional
Love Who Forgives As Much As One Sees Thanksgiving For Life
So After Going to Hell For 66 Months With Still The Breath of the
Unconditional Love my Mother Breathed into me Still Remaining
After Her Last Breath on Earth My Judgement Call is the
Same One From Genesis 1:31 It Doesn’t Really
Even Need All this Revision of Genesis
1:32 i’ve Been WorKinG on These
11 Years and 1 Day in Size
of 16.6 King James
Bibles in Words of
Effort Consecutively Online
in 4020 Days Without A Break
After Going to HeLL ON EartH
With Thousand of Pics With Beautiful
Women Adoring me In All the Glory
That Heaven on EartH
Glows in SMiLes
oF UNCoNDiTioNaL
Love Yes my Judgement
On the Living And The Dead
Is Dark Still Makes Light As Even
Stephen Hawking Agrees From His
Totally Systemizing Mechanical Cognition Mind
And As i Look Upon the Landscape of Existence
Now ALL oF iT DarK Thru LiGHT IT is Good IT Is Very Good
Now Yet Don’t
Expect
Roses to
Bloom Without
All the Thorns and
The All Natural Stuff
That Fertilizes it Yes Holy S88t…
For It is Those of Us Who Have Gone
To Hell Returned And Witnessed What
Heaven is For ReaL ON EartH Eternally Now Within
