Poetry On Odyssey: New Phases

You were the rainbow after the storm.

Couldn’t ever see the light in someone else’s scares,

Hangin like a shadow he can never figure out who or what he wants to be.

Dragged me through the mud after every word you would speak,

I came out bruised but still unable to defeat,

Blood drips from my lips and decorates my clothes but he never noticed.

I knew I couldn’t take anymore from him but I wanted to taste the pain he hid away,

To see a world kept in the dark,

But he turned out to not be that deep,

A cheap knock off really but not many can see.

He couldn’t see me as an equal of an intelligence,

Told me my thoughts and ideas were insane,

Yet he could not see the mistake he would soon make,

A relationship based only on the sensation of touch and dry conversation,

No connection just led to some sick depression.

Then I met you

Someone who can see the beauty behind my eyes,

A soul who feels like sunshine and has a voice as soft as a gentle rain,

As delicate and gentle as a flower,

Yet as strong and beautiful as a tree.

Let me get lost in your eyes,

And drown in your ocean,

I want to taste the bitter and the sweet on your tongue,

To be so close I can feel the blood pump through your veins,

And to explore the galaxy that is your mind.

Take my hand and dance with me in the moonlight,

I want to be your dark and your light.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
