   Should be sleeping...
5:39 am

I have an exam later today at 1:30 and i have to turn in my poetry portfolio... I should probably write like 2 more poems to at least have a hope of getting an A, but i don't really have the time. I have to finish studying for eecs. that test may very well be the death of me.

Just to share, here's a poem i wrote (i don't have to copyright this or anything, do i? lol)...

In Dreams Only

Somewhere we are together
Dancing along a midnight skyline
Icy cold stars pricking our feet
We sweep into a Paris café on a Minnesotan street
And they play us a love song
That spills from the ceiling
As a vicious liquid
An alcoholic mixture that seeps
Through our clothes and skin and into our blood
Intoxicating me like your scent
of musk and sweat and comfort
Notes drift down in clusters, perching
On the tabletops, windowsills, staring
With bright blue-black eyes
We kiss, our lips
Crushed together for a tortuously perfect moment
You run off, the wall
Opening and closing behind you
I sprint after you
Get the balance right
And lift off the ground
Clearing oceans in a bound, and mountains
In a heartbeat
Past red-eyed fanged houses and
Through dark thick trees that grow
Branches around your arms and tangle in your hair
You wait in a meadow full of daisies and silver-sharp moonlight
Stabbed into the ground like scrap metal
I fall at your feet bruised and broken
You offer a smooth hand
Help me up and hold me at arm’s length
Smiling serenely and sunrise
Behind you shines into my eyes
And slowly turns your body to vapor
That gathers on the petals, gleaming shards of metal
A condensation that quickly dries and
Leaves me sitting in bed alone as always


It actually got pretty good reviews from the teacher and the 2 students who had to review it... Um, yeah.. if you hate it.. just don't tell me lol.
OK, now i'm going to try and sleep..i have to get up in a few hours to continue studying.. yay... blah.
