Poetry on the Odyssey: A series of truthful moments

Poetry is different for everyone. Poetry is vague. Poetry is a way to fit your story into the words and let it impact your life depending on your experiences. I wrote these to connect with a variety of people and let everyone interpret them differently. Let it sink in and connect with you.

Dreams to Reality

She fell asleep to the sound of piano

Holding my fingers

with a glass of wine next to the bed

And a book on her chest

Dreaming of a way to escape

To a better life

But all she wanted was a life with

morning to night laughter, lattes in the morning, a good book, someone to hold her hand and tell her that they loved her even at her worst moments, and someone to wake up to every morning and smile.

And then she woke up.

And realized that everything she ever wanted was sitting right next to her.

And all her dreams came true.

You can fly little one

I held her in my arms

Feeling every gasp of air coming into her lungs

I wanted to call her mine

But with every broken breath a story unfolds

A series of broken moments to give one self a completely shattered heart

And all I ever wanted to do

was make that last breath turn into eternity

Every broken breath was a piece I wanted to fix.

And soon, with all the love I can shadow beneath her feet

She'd be free and fly again

Into the sky with every breath stronger than before.

Suffocation break through

I can't breath

I feel trapped in my own universe

Suffocating.

Just trying to escape

I don't feel accepted

I feel like a burden to society.

I feel like I am someone who no one wanted me to become.

But as time moves forward

And past experiences turn into dust

And my soul becomes alive

I am building up my own strength in this bubble

And finally for once in my life I feel strong enough to pop the bubble and break free

And be the person I knew I was supposed to be

And with that first gasp of fresh air

I feel free for the first time in my life

I can finally live again

And be the person I was always supposed to 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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
