North Star

She was the only bright spot in my gray and miserable day.

Neck Deep in the Game

Consistently, we want what we do not have and seek what is impossible to achieve. Is this foolishness or is it practical? Perhaps it's the only respectable and human thing to do.

Crutches

A prideful Atenean is unsightly.
A boastful LaSallian is downright annoying.
The first needs to be humble.
The second needs to have something to be boastful of
before letting out its hot air.

Dip Drip Drop

Dull as a dud
Lost and lazy
Desert dry
and going crazy

Tardy

It's time to get aggressive. Just give me some space and I'll operate.

Laying beside her

I had no idea this was for me at that time. How dense was I?



dancing along streets moonlit

we stop a while to rest and sit

I talk.. you tell of this star

you've been loving from afar

I smirk, and nod, begin to blush

my heart slowly turns to mush.

I know that you watch me talk

and how you whisper when we walk.

but as the bud I'd always been

of your love I could only imagine

my tummy lurches at the thought

that my dream might just be caught.

this girl, you say, makes you whole.

and as you gaze into my soul

I see your heart and know the truth

Au Bon Pan

It was a scene out of a cheezy romantic movie you watch over and over again. We were at opposite ends of a square table, seated beside the glass window of an Au Bon Pan cafe. I'm not sure how to describe what went on behind that glass wall. It felt comfortable; like knowing that you are loved by your beloved as you so love them. If giddy could be turned into a moment, that would be that moment.



We were playing with each other's hands; giving each other lame excuses to touch them. We were so into each other that we made everyone else feel a bit uncomfortable.



In that moment, I knew that she was the one. For only the second time in my life, I knew what I wanted. I could only hope that this time, my heart wouldn't get crushed again. How could it? Everything was happening the way they should...
