Love Or Unlove: Poetry About What It May Be For You

Hey readers! This poem was inspired by some music I’ve listened to recently combined with ideas on how to personify love. It, as with my last topic, can vary in meaning. Positive vibes to you!


When it comes to love,

What does it look like?

Yet, does it really look like anything at all

Love can take upon so many images for various reasons

It is not always light

And it is not always dark

It in not always harmful

And it is not always healing

I find talking about love may be sensitive

Or inspiring

Because we all feel so very differently

For those that find sensitivity in picturing love:

It was like torture to your soul,

Your heart becoming a burning flame from the passion you once felt

To being engulfed in the scotching first scares of betrayal, heartbreak, or even sorrow

All of the happy thoughts you ever felt about love fly away and into an almost unreachable place

Then, you are left to ask yourself, ‘will I ever get those happy feelings back?’

Love is never the same for you

Your mind, your heart, and maybe your well being was placed on the forefront for another person

Only to get left behind in the dark

Or maybe seek the light in what love has to offer

For those that find inspiration in picturing love:

It was like your soul drank in the light of one million suns, emitting admiration in its wake

Your heart basking in an ever-glow that would take an entire space of darkness to diminish

When you first felt the effects, your heart sang out in the symphony to rival a cherub

All of the angry thoughts you ever felt about love drift away into an unbeknownst place

Then, you are left to ask yourself, ‘am I dreaming or could this be real?’

Love is never the same for you

Your mind, your heart, and maybe your trust is kept safe by another person

As you wade together and contently in the light,

But never forgetting the dark in what love has to offer

To those that don’t believe in love at all:

May you find something to make you feel relatively close to love

Albeit, something that makes you passionate or otherwise

Just because it’s not a part of your world, doesn’t mean this will always be

Love isn’t always expressed verbally, but even those that keep mum, want to feel that too

Whatever love means to you, I send my own words to maybe help you get through

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
