OH WOE

The sea will sing
in stormy swells,
a song forewarning,
of a love to end
tomorrow’s dawning.

As the castle bells
begin their chime,
across the land
tolls mournful curse-

when his ring will find
another hand
that isn’t hers.

- EPILOGUE written by Lang Leav, a poet, writer, bookmaker, and joy's new favorite person
(The Little Mermaid).

not everything is as cool as a cucumber.

Infinity in Finity.

"To be impossible is almost a contradiction in terms.
If something is impossible, it cannot be. So how can we speak of being impossible at all?
Impossibility does not exist because it cannot exist.
The impossible is a species of nothing.
And if impossible is nothing, then surely nothing is impossible."

 Then I can die, otherwise I shall be stuck with immortality, and no one likes that.

nothing but tiny lights



There are about 2x10^11 stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
As there are about 1x10^11 galaxies in the universe, perhaps averaging 1x10^11 stars per each,
that makes the number of stars in the universe roughly 1x10^22.


He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
~psalms 147:3

Parents, Teachers, Friends, and Fellow graduates,

Today, we graduate.
Today, we leave our mark on the walls, our fingerprints against the desks, and
kick off our shoes for the succeeding generations to fill.

What have we done? What will we become?
During the past four years, we have plowed through the endless nights of homework, we have suffered from the continual stresses of tests and , and groggily managed to stay awake in class. We have stretched forth our arms in hopes of reaching our maximum potential and strived to overcome our obstacles.

greater than x less than y

You can be my alphabet and I will be your calculator
And together we'll work out on the escalator
I will time you as you run up the down
And you'll measure my footsteps as I pleasure this town
The mean of our heights is divided by the nights
Which is times'd by the daggers and the root of all our fights,
The pass of your poem is to swathe me in your knowing
And the beauty of the word is that you don't have to show it

Oh academia you can't pick me up
Soothe me with your words when I need your love

I am a dash and you are a dot
When will you see that I am all that you've got
I'm a binary code that you cracked long ago
But to you I'm just a novel that you wish you'd never wrote
I'm greater than x and lesser than y, so why is it
That I still can't catch your eye?
You're a cryptic crossword, a song I've never heard
While I sit here drawing circles I'm afraid of being hurt

Oh academia you can't pick me up
Soothe me with your words when I need your love

You're a difficult equation with a knack for heart evasion
Will you listen to my proof or will you add another page on
It appears to me the graph has come and stolen all the laughs
It appears to me the pen has over analysed again
And if I am a number I'm infinity plus one
And if you are five words you are afraid to be the one
And if you are a number you're infinity plus one
And if I am four words then I am needing all your love

Oh academia you can't pick me up
Soothe me with your words when I need your love
Academia

SOON WE'LL BE FOUND - SIA

Come along it is the break of day
Surely now, you'll have some things to say
It's not the time for telling tales on me

So come along, it wont be long
'Til we return happy
Shut your eyes, there are no lies
In this world we call sleep
Let's desert this day of hurt
Tomorrow we'll be free

Let's not fight I'm tired can't we just sleep tonight
Don't Turn away it's just there's nothing left here to say
Turn around I know we're lost but soon we'll be found

Well it's been rough but we'll be just fine
Work it out yeah we'll survive
You mustn't let a few bad times dictate

So come along, it wont be long
'Til we return happy
Shut your eyes, there are no lies
In this world we call sleep
Let's desert this day of work
Tomorrow we'll be free

Let's not fight I'm tired can't we just sleep tonight
Don't turn away it's just there's nothing left here to say
Turn around I know we're lost but soon we'll be found

I SPENT TWO THOUSAND AND NINE WISHES ON SLEEP

once I turn back around to the old days
and I saw what I'd found of my old ways
couldn't stop thinking about all the old flames
that I burned and gone out down the wrong way

such a long time; the streets all decide if you're gone or your mine
so tell me about where youv'e been,
where you're going, where you'll be
how will i know it ?
how on earth do we ever help ourselves?

and you told me about not belonging and you left
little doubt what you wanted
didn't think i could help, deep and wondering,
all my friends broken down and forgotten.

such a long time, the streets all decide if you're gone or your mine
so tell me about where youv'e been,
where you're going, where you'll be
how will i know it ?
how on earth do we ever help ourselves?

call it off
tell me why you lie
from the start you should have known alright
you missed your stop but i don't mind
you're moving on away.

"Let's go back just with   
words to the time by the lake   
before my life felt like   
someone's cruel test and tell   
me that God keeps his miracles   
locked up and pockets of pills   
will release them, I don't   
think that you can release   
Me

Now miss me bad or I swear   
there will be hell to pay
Love me, darling, you better or else. Take a   
picture put it on the hood of your   
car and drive to places that   
we've never been. And Tell me   
that God keeps his miracles locked   
up and pockets of pills will   
release them. "

"We value love not because it's stronger than death but because it's weaker. Say what you want about love: death will finish it. You will not go on loving in the grave, not in any physical way that will at all resemble love as we know it on earth. The perishable nature of love is what gives love its profound importance in our lives. If it were endless, if it were on tap, love wouldn't hit us the way it does"
- JEFFREY EUGENIDES, from the introduction to My Mistress's Sparrow is Dead

A LIGHT IN AN ATTIC

There' a light in the attic,
Though the house is dark and shuttered,
I can see a flickerin' flutter,
And I know what it' about.
There 's a light on in the attic,
I can see it from the outside,
And I know you're on the inside ... lookin' out

Words of Wisdom and Theoretical Questions

Part I

Love is cycle...
When you love,
You get hurt.
When you get hurt,
You hate.
When you hate,
You try to forget.
When you try to forget,
you start missing.
And when you start missing,
Eventually,
You fall in love
again!


(damn this reality)

Part II
(think really hard)

i) If a hippo is dropped in the middle of the ocean, is a whale fat?
ii) If here is there, and there is nowhere, then where are we?
iii) Why do the people we love from afar, don't loves within close proximity?
