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.

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.
