Poetry On Odyssey: Cloud Asinine

A story about anything but true love.

His eyes widen and glisten, his smile enlarges and stiffens

The warnings of his friends going through both ears, it was only to her that he’d listen

With a similar expression, she greets him and they kiss

Lips touch, cheeks blush, his knees buckle under his hips

He looks at her, professes his love and she says nothing will ever ruin this


They go out on dates as much as they can

No matter where they go, you’ll see ‘em holding hands

A few months later, bye hater, the fiasco hits the fan

Now I ask, while they got nothing to bask on, was this part of the plan?


Young love, established in their teens

To her, he was her boyfriend; to him, she was a queen

To her, she was content, while he was living the dream

As royalty walked by him, he had no reason to believe, something could get in the way and change what he thought could be

Every day was amazing: clear skies, sunshine, rainbows, and unicorns

Both together as they blossomed with low key problems, cue the thorns

Cause clip away, and they’ll still grow back

Accept and accept ‘til you can’t and can’t go back


One week passes and he’s the first to say I love you as she blindly agrees, though this had all just begun

A few strolls down Central Park in the summer

A few meals in Times Square

A few rides on The Beast at South Street Seaport to see the statue and clock nearby

But time was seemingly never there

He thought the world was theirs, their fortress of happiness to share

Anyone who ever warned him otherwise would be shunned

There would never be another girl for him, only his current one


Week one: all smiles and eternal bliss

Week two: dinner dates, looking at the stars, trying to tell themselves nothing would ruin this

Week three strolls by…the love seems to have gone amiss

By week four, he wonders if it ever really did exist


He never wanted to hang up, he never wanted to head home, but every time on the other line, she was the first to say I got to go

Cause she was aware of the signs, ended it before it became a wreck

Knew he was a good dude, but kept her priorities in check

Always wanting to go out while she was working, almost had for a sec

But she was smart, and told his heart “protect your neck”

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.
