Poetry On Odyssey: Spectrum

I see you for all the tones you weren’t before.

The worstmost vile title

known to humanity

explains a damsel in disguise

and a damned soul shielded in lies.

It is placed upon heads

-on a constant swivel

with paranoia in some gusts of seasons

and curiosity of trust in others-

like a gilded crown of thorns

that drives the sharpened points

of mirroring opposition

anywhere but home.

And yet,

it defines the greatest affirmation

to confidence.

Yourself.

I believe

as far as people can be

showered with rainbows,

those that walk the lines

of many color variances

deserve as much as everyone moral,

Mortal,

or mythical to see they

Themselves

are receptors of endearing light.

I believe

as far as people can catch

the ever-changing shades of life

in their constantly-darting eyes,

they exude sharpness in their naked gaze

be it out of protection

from impurity

or projection

of connecting inner ideas of beauty

but they deserve to find whoever it is

that’ll make them melt into softness

and crumble into a mound of stardust

even if it isn’t anyone at all.

I see you

for all the tones you weren’t before

and I am impressed

you coalesce through

the many hues of this world.

I see you
and I accept you,

spectacular spectrum.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
