The Space Between
I caught a glimpse of the face of god
A silver thread runs through all
The truth resides in the space between
And that is why it’s rarely seen
A whole is more than sum of parts
What remains when rent apart?
Matter cannot be destroyed
What matters most is most enjoyed
Art is science – science art
Where one begins another starts
One alone each come undone
A tango can’t be danced by one

Shooting Stars
Pas coup de foudre
Nor is it koi no yokan
It’s much more tragic
We need a term for
Premonition of heartbreak
This can only end
It’s not Clare de Lune
It’s Prelude in E Minor
Adagio for Strings
Our secret glances
Made all the more compelling
Knowing they must end
We are shooting stars
In unseen skies, we blaze in
Secret, then we die

Do Nothing
It is felt rather than thought
It just was rather than not
No effort required, required was none
And therein lies the rub

Rate My Professor
Best prof I've had in university so far
Rude, arrogant, disinterested, ill-prepared
A very lively and positive learning environment
Your mileage may vary
My worst professor so far
Would definitely take one of his classes again
Never taking anything with her again
Mandatory for my major
Couldn’t ask for a better prof
She is also kind of condescending
Always a delight to speak to after class
I only really came to class for the quizzes
He is awful and overhyped, my god AVOID
Not sure where all these negative ratings are coming from
The only thing good was how the class was only 2 times a week
Honestly, I never went to class
This is the oddest professor I have ever had
Man will she punish you for not meeting her expectations
Clearly cares deeply about what she is teaching
It’s an insane amount of readings
I don't think he's awful, I just feel like he's not a great prof
I left each class learning something new and inspired
Great guy but this GPA booster did not boost
Strange, lofty demands for participation
She is so caring and understandable!
She is too strict and an extremely tough grader
She is hilarious and caring and I really admire her
Awful do not take
She is one of the worst professors I've ever had
He is such a sweetie pie
She acts as though she was put on this earth to grace us with her knowledge
I can't say that I learned much in his class
Best professor EVER!
Worst professor EVER!
Meh
100% would not recommend!
12/10 would recommend!
For the love of god avoid this class
Good luck!

Elusive
caught a glimpse of Truth
a hint at what binds us all
and then it vanished
❦
Take Note
Her perceptive mind
Reads the room like a novel
Annotating hearts

Queendom
You’ve a queendom by the reigns
Slaying beasts as need be slain
But even queens must slake their thirst
Dragon slaying’s thirsty work
Place your armour on the floor
You won’t need it where we’re for
This day’s assaults tonight ignore
This night, succumb, delight, adore
We’ll be safely in our hollow
Where the wild things cannot follow
There is nought you need do
Surrender to my care for you
I bid you cast off all reserve
I’ll give all that you deserve
Send a flare, I’ll storm the gates
And take control of what awaits
To us be bound and so set free
Bare your altar unto me
I claim its worship for my own
This night I shall rule your throne
Light my touch and let it go
Before behind between below
Heated breaths on embers’ glow
Ignite torrential inferno
Then at last we two are one
When the whole is more than sum
All that was just falls away
All except the song of waves
Earth doth move, doves doth cry
Loved and lover doth lock eyes
Hurtled forward t’ward demise
And die the death that doth revive
And so the ruler robes in tatters
Made slave to love and all such matters
Finds release in being lost
A secret flame to ward the frost
For a time crown cast aside
For a feeling felt astride
A moment she can call her own
When she again ascends her throne

Letters and Spirits
Letters are angles, letters are outs
Letters provide reasonable doubts
Letters cover all manner of sin
It should be outside, yet it’s within
Spirits are hopeful, spirits aspire
Spirits deliver what ideals desire
Spirits are lofty but not very wide
Easily skirted when needs must decide
Letters tradition, letters are songs
Letters sing theirs to the next letter on
Letters’ inherited trials passed down
They did it then, so you do it now
Spirits guide and spirits protect
Spirits of those who would resurrect
Spirits lift up mine eyes to the good
Because one can does not mean one should
Letters are crooked, letters are thieves
Letters are liars intellectually
Spirits are willing but flesh is suspect
Intentions mean nothing without respect
