SHELLS
Olivia Kent Feb 2016
He held my hand.
We walked along.
The seashore with the drowning pebbles and pearls discarded.
With the cockles and winkles.
Razor shells.
Our skin wrinkled by the biting breeze.
With noses that run as they're seeking the sun.
As does rise in the morn.
Tumbles at twilight.
Wandering weeds.
Seat by the sea.
Hands no longer clasped tight together.
Through all kinds of weather.
He's loving the sea and he's so loving me.
Together we kick rebellious pebbles.
As homeward be bound.
A shell full of sea carried home in my tears.
Memorial of moments.
Sea held my dear.
Trapped in a seashell held close to my ear.

Cultivated Love!
Olivia Kent Nov 2013
Grow old with her til the sun dies.
Til the flowers cry.
Until the bees buzz off, forever.
Until the petals of daisies fall.

Until he dies.
When his heart is drained.
Only then.
She will fall again.

As Icarus.
She cruised the sun.
Only for a moment pure.
Love so enduring.

With fingers burned not wings.
Such an impact.
True love collided with herself.
Grow old with her forever more.

Another place.
Another time.
Love grew and died too soon.

I hit you with my poetry,
Hit you with my mind,
Bedazzled,
Sweet diamonds from deep inside sparkling mind,
I find,
Sleek crisp, emerald, toxic  green .....toxicity breaks,
She shivers and quakes.....!
Having a laugh at all in her path!
Sapphire,
well she's truly on fire blazing deep down in her heart, no longer strangled!
Ruby so red,
Christ she's so nearly dead.... loud and vivacious at times,
Head smashing crystals and pearls, they're the girls!
Amethyst, she forms a tryst betwixt,
other gifted writers, such note,
Unearthing pure gems daily,
From deep mine.... dark, so dim, another dark write born....!

LOVE
Olivia Kent Jan 2015
Love is an egg.
It is blessed, within a jolly fine shell.
Inside lives life.
If the egg is an ova.
Fertilised by love itself .
Love grows rapidly inside.
The cracks appear, love's broken free.

CRICKET
Olivia Kent Jun 2016
Serpents discard outgrown skin.
As lizards do so too.
Birds drop feathers as they fly.
Infants grow teeth to bite at life,
On the subject of crickets,
One in the kitchen and it's beating it's sound.
A lucky escapee from the lizard king, or queen.
Can hear you singing, but just can't see a thing.
One or two.
Can't tell.
Singing crickets.
Crying freedom.

Lost!
Olivia Kent Sep 2013
Lost, a world of poetry.
Entrenched, as if in mud stuck fast.
It's me gasping for breath.
Suffocated by squeals of dying emotion.
Struggling to escape from dingy rendezvous.
Silk ribbons bound me tightly.
Escape from dreams delight.
For once the sword of angel dark is mightier than the pen.

My pen is swan so elegant.
The lady as she drifts.
Like driftwood sodden with emotions.
Emotion causes commotion.
Love is such a complex thing.
When with a complex one.
With eyes wide as child of innocence.
I ventured where other angels fear to tread.

I know that he once loved me.
Now my heart is bled.
Imperfections in a perfect image.
Captured in mind's eye!

Dreams
Olivia Kent Aug 2013
I live thinking of you deep, while I sleep,
Convincing you in dreams that a space in my cherished heart is saved,
Saved only for you!
I feel your touch on my lashes, in flashes and dashes,
I feel you kiss my mind and my lips,
Deep in sleeps moments precious ,
Where passion runs free,
In dreams you are holding me,
Stroking my face with warm breaths,
Such sweet touch!
You make me shiver and quiver,
Desires imagination fires,
Dream building in my fiery mind,
Losses in your mind, will no longer find,
Saved by little bird,
Tender in kind, not the pretender,
In love ever after, warm heart will return,
Fiery huge love intense, plays on sinews silken,
Kept in heart depths,
At arms length,
Only in dreams!

The Body Part 1!
Olivia Kent Oct 2013
The Body Part 1!

Was in a body of evidence.
She was lost.
Young body was found.
Lain on the wooded forest floor.
In a glade.
A shaft of sunlight illuminated a tragedy.
In near silence.
Not even a hare's breath.
Only sound was chorus of dawn from duplicitous birds.
Covering up errors of night's foray.
While hunting for snippets on the wind.
Snippets of moths and remnants of bugs.
Weren't out for carrion.
Did not notice last night's carry on.

The walkers wandered through the trees.
Found sunlit copse where body lay.
She was young.
Auburn haired.
So pretty.
Laid out precisely.
Liken to sleep.
Barely untouched.
Not a hair out of place.
Strange serene smile upon her young face.
Eyes closed tight, as a flower in bud.
Pallid.
Death had stolen her colouring.
Taken her life away.

She, she is a ******* of the spoken word.
Words of reassurance are given with a smile.
She does prostitution, when she sells her words for wages.
She's really a misanthropist, she likes no human beings.
At work, she sparkles and grins, all  day,a staged act.
Until her pen can play again.
She says,"there, there, it will be alright, but there are no guarantees".
Compassion pays her wages, its such a sad affair.
She rather likes her job, but wants to stay at home.
She's paid for care eternally, but her love is given free.

LESSONS
Olivia Kent Jan 2016
I fell off a horse just once.
Soon I got back on.
My horse was life's experience.
To live a life, to learn full on.
Extract a learning curve.
Steeper by the climb.
Without footholds'
Onwards.
Upwards.
On I climb.

On man as an indigenous species climb.
Catching clouds.
Somehow the catcher of clouds just gets wet.
Nighttimes' are for catching stars.
Sadly never done.
The stars are always falling.
Catch a falling star.
Can you slip it in your apron?
No of course a mere duplication of falling of my horse.
Learning or not.
It's all that mankind's got.

Allergic
Olivia Kent Jun 2014
I sit and I sniff as my nose it doth trickle,
the pollen got hold of me,
I'm all in a pickle,
my eyes are so itchy,
I pop in my drops,
maybe I'm lucky as quickly it stops,

Magic pollen,
bringer of life ,
maker of flowers,
it so makes me sneeze,
my sneezing's so bad,
if I get too much closer,
with my powerful sneezes,
maybe,
just maybe,
I will uproot the trees,
destroying nature, with a sneeze.

Take all my pills and rub on my lotions,
trying so hard not to cause a commotion,
what more can I do with hay fever,
except express my emotions!

Land of the Lost! (And this is about?)

Land of the lost hid revelations.
Tied In bonds.
Satisfied a thirst.
Hungry for knowledge.
Grew inside.
From the acorn.
Embryonic giant oak.
Doth grow.

Tree of knowledge.
Upon it tawny owl sits.
Shedding pellets.
Knowledge all.
What once lived inside.
Around the globe.
Let the sphere of enlightenment be born.
From the owls wisdom.
Concealed.
Partially digested.
Deep in the land of the lost.

MANUFACTURED MAN
Olivia Kent Dec 2014
Today is the first day of the rest of my life.
I'm nobody's lover and I'm nobody's wife.
I'm smiling inside and I'm crying without.
The cruel wind dries my tears,
and my ******* are going south.
I smile as I think of you.
How, once upon, forever ago, the two of us we flew.

Now I want a gentleman.
One who's  maybe made of clay.
I can roll him up and discard him,
should I not want to play.

Or better still,
remould him,
to one who fits the bill.
I'd make him tall,
with thick black hair,
Shiny eyes, and manly thighs,
but, it wouldn't matter how well endowed he was,
because, I'd only want him him for his brain,
quality conversation,
nothing more, nothing less.

No emotional attachment.
In any shape or form.

Repaired
Olivia Kent May 2014
Take my heart,
guard it,
as I guard it,
it is slightly precious,
it has been ripped out,
burst before,
a bloodless balloon,
infiltrated with cheese wire,
somebody tried to stop it,
prevent it bursting again,
slow punctures repaired,
with minute patches of sellotape,
sorry repairs,
pierced,
allowed gentle entry,
somewhat deflating,
only slowly,
a slow release of aromatic air,
a little spiced,
the heart still beats it's thrill,
despite the the chill,
love me some more,
I know one day you will!

GUNFIGHT
Olivia Kent Dec 2014
The  sky hung full of ******, above the execution bell.
The crow circles overhead irreverently, dressed in his Sunday best.
In the bar the dead men fought.
From the counter outside they flew.
Spilled into the street in front of a few.
Two cowboys, guns in both of their hands, wrathful and vengefully meeting demands.
The young lady with the mess of blonde hair, was heard to squeal,
"Oh Jimmy, fight not over me, let him go, let him go free".

The lady in the emerald hat cried "Jimmy and Jason, please stop that."
I hate it when you play with guns.
One of the problems when you have stroppy twin sons.
Their weapons discarded into the bin.
After the gunfight that no brother won.

The Gothic Wedding day.
Olivia Kent May 2014
It was something,
a sight to be seen,
the day the bride turned up in black,
the groom turned up in blazing red,
the bridesmaids all wore ****** white,
the ladies all held bouquets,
twisted from a combination,
of Venus fly traps,
and wire with barbs,

A man who looked like Satan,
good looking,
suave,
full up with sophistication,
conducted the unholy service,
smiling,
his black eyes were beaten,
blue,
bloodless,
airless,
the order of service,
was written in blood,
and from it,
he read with a fearsome roar,

He turned,
pronounced them man and wife,
as he proceeded to cut,
their throats with a knife,
Dragged to the reception,
still barely living,
a little bloodied,
but breathing,
VNV Nation, spilled the words of Beloved,
and they stepped right into hell,
on their wedding day,
one hell of a day.

Lips are on fire.
Oh so not kissable.
The cold ripped them and split them and tore them to bits.
And then a tooth catches hold of a sinewy strand.

Good God they're so sore.
They bleed.

HOLIDAY ROMANCE
Olivia Kent Mar 2015
Pawns and paws
Walks with ******,
Along sandy shores.
All lifes chores.
Just a surety.
A holiday romance ,
A gay old dance.
Chucking cheap flowers into ditches
given to woman who're *******.
Chrysalis kisses with lizard lips and swirling hips, riding trips.
Feeling nothing, its cold in her soul.
Something's missing, there's only a whole
Its under her feet,
It's your vacant seat.
Legs elevated, love understated.
Truth overrated.
But, to feel your heart beating again.
Such a sweet thing.
Sipping wine alone as you called me, you're making things fine again.
It's all in my brain.
A sickly stain, of written pain
Painted on the bedroom walls, like waterfalls.
Coated in party foam, memorial to the man in Rome.

A COLD
Olivia Kent Jun 2015
My muse is not amused today.
I'm singing oh so out of tune.
A silver spoon placed in my mouth.
Loaded with cough linctus and antipyretics.
My head is full of puffy fluff.
My brain is thinking loads of tosh.
Catarrhal mind.
Well stuffed up.
Guttural laugh of a cackling witch.
A throat full up with burning itch.
A nose that's headed to the store before I even leave the door.

THE 24TH HOUR
Olivia Kent Mar 2015
Candles burn brightly guiding the sight cruising from midnight unto daylight....aforesight dreams of daily scenes, images in magazines, all at the turn of the hands of the clock.
And so the **** crows.
He gets up your nose, he begs you awake.
Strangle the noisy beast.. the tone on the cell phone that steals your sleep.
Where cobwebs hide behind the eyes of the sticky sleeper, tear filled weeper. starlight sweeper, secret keeper, chaste with tight, secrets hid in the night.
Locked inside here where shadows hid, where love's denied and shall all shall hide, for never ever rest in peace ,of raging dreams and stolen sleep.
Of parapets and parakeets that keep you away from rest,the
noisy birds they are the best.
Locked inside there was two of us now there's only one.
He melted in the heat of a vibrant summer sun.. a puddle on the pavement, a melted mess of sticky stuff, missing sleep, mourning love.
***** tonic and all that stuff.

BLAZER
Olivia Kent Jun 2016
The beige grass is calling out.
To raindrops that drip.
It's dying of dryness, it begs for relief.
After the sunshine, the dry grass calls grief.
The danger that comes from a being with a match.
As all nature's magic dispatched in a flash.
Trees all blazing, look amazing.
Conjured up pictures.
Destroyed habitats.
Ruined in a flash.
Forest homes and camp sites.
Fires, cremations.
Accidentally by wombats.
Not obeying.
The beige grass is gone.

SECRET GARDEN
Olivia Kent Jul 2016
Roses are red with sharp thorns that bite.
Violets unholy blue,
Those roses bright red are full up with spite,
Violets are pretty tho rarely speak true.
Tulips are for kissing,
Not sure what they're missing.
Lilies are scented,
They're lacing the air,
And the green grass tells tales to the trees,
cos they listen,
The speak of the chap who cuddled the girl,
but they never repeat cos they just wouldn't dare.
Beneath the rocks the fairies do dwell,
with all seeing eyes but they never tell.
The garden's full of secrets,
That's where they lie,
Everything happens there says the all seeing eye.
But the house-folk, never know why they're looking,
Perhaps they're playing I-Spy.

Prisoner of Misfortune!
Olivia Kent May 2014
Untamed, she sang at the crescent moon,
She sang to the tune of "Au Claire de la Lune",
With a snide smile painted over her face,
She wore no lipstick,
It made her lips sticky,
She sang with perfection,
her voice tousled,
from twisted lace,
and she snored,
and she crawled,
all over the hill,
over the cliff tops,
at Portland bill,
she roared at the men on the prison ship,
who waited in vain for release.
Had a babe on her hip,
The baby belonged to the crescent moon,
a beautiful infant,
conceived of a prisoner,
Locked up for a while,
because he was vile,
he was so very young,
as he hung,
and he sung his own song,
The crying prisoner's,  
ghost was chained up in the jail,
She  had held him,
so tight in his darkness,
And her beautiful heart,
he'd impaled,
for he was a dangerous man,
Left behind, just her spirit,
with boy child,
who wailed and sang to the crescent moon.

DOOMED YOUTH
Olivia Kent Apr 2015
I was never there,praise be.
Lucky English woman, glad to be free.
As men and women, we are all doomed youth indeed.
Born to expire at the end of the line.
When the time be right to to bid all goodnight, if we're able.
Never set foot on a battlefield luckily.
Breathing relief.
Stood in a war graveyard just up the road.
My head bowed in respect.
Now it's time for worlds and words to break,as war crimes take up their ministerial minions.
Mistakes, unforgiving.
Deception deceiving.
There will be light at the end of the tunnel, where spiders dwell and *******, poor immigrants as swimming ants are struggling to stay afloat.
Landing on a promised land, the water's deep can't touch the sand beneath the feet, death may be sweet release.
Travelers and smuggler's making fun of immigrants trying to reach the sun.

Big Kids!
Olivia Kent Aug 2013
In the falling rain we splashed through puddles,
Showered each other with childish smiles,
We tumbled and tripped,
Skipped and leaped,
A pair of daft hearts,
Wrapped up for safe keeping,
A pair of big kids,
With mud streaked faces,
We laugh out loud,
Two stupid adults,
That need to be proud,
Who cares,
The two of us played without airs or graces,
With soggy wet jeans and mud on our faces!

THE VISION
Olivia Kent Jun 2015
She swore she saw an angel today.
With flowing hair in falling curls.
Of strawberry blonde,
Kiss curls hugged her face.
She wore a coronet made of twisted flowers of red and yellow, laced amid bright greenery.
Her dress was coloured ivory.
Round her waist she wore a belt of rolled gold.
From her belt hung silver bells.
Bells rang out announcing her arrival.
She took her hand.
Said to her in a voice no louder than a whisper.
Mistakes we make.
But, tis decreed on sorrow thy shall no longer feed.
Arise lady be strong.
Wash away thy torment, pray let it be gone.
The angel swore unto her.
To err is but a human trait.
Worry not woman.
Throw your troubles to the wind.
Place them in a silk purse.
Let them be carried away on the wings of a swan.
A few deep breaths.
Furrowed thoughts.
Remedial actions.
Solutions sought.
By way of a prayer to the angel with the long strawberry blonde flowing hair.

Shades of Cold!
Olivia Kent Sep 2013
Sunday night.
The rains came again.
As cold as in biting slivers.
Drenched.
Garden arid once, drowning in one sweet afternoon.
It's a cold wrapped blanket of chill.

Dog cowers.
She has no desire to water the grass or the flowers.
Sat on the sofa.
Heating's back on.
Bumps of a million geese creep up my arms.

Emptiness is misery.
Coldness is so miserly.
It's cruel to feel this chill inside and out.
Makes me want to scream and shout.
My heart's so cold.
I've been destroyed.

Inside.
Outside.
Everywhere.
Do I care.
Hell, I do.
This cold.
It's eating me.
Making me blue.
I'm sick of it.
I think perhaps you are too!
Sweet friend.
Both so sick of the harshness of cold.

Justice
Olivia Kent May 2014
There's no justice,
The sorry world's in pain,
collecting pittances of pennies,
in a flat cap in the rain,
raindrops beat against their skin,
no justice for the jacks of hearts,
selling music to save their souls,
music brings the pennies in,
just to feed the crowd.

Chorus
And there's no justice,
to live we strum,
but never ***,
we fight, we sing, we strum,  play the system ,
happily.

Fight to survive ,
alive again,
Strumming through the pouring rain,
tomorrow have to do it all again,
Beat out our rhythm in the pouring rain,
Hell, no justice for the poor boys,
singing in the pouring rain,
again.

Chorus
And there's no justice,
to live we strum,
but never ***,
we fight, we sing, we strum, play the system ,
happily.

Mountains of money,
sing songs for our dreams,
sing for our supper,
right here,
right now,
under pillars of society,
once again,
we're running free.

Chorus
And there's no justice,
to live we strum,
but never ***,
we fight, we sing, we strum, play the system ,
happily.

Nodding Off !

Starting to drift.
Off the land of nod I go.
Where pillows remind me of candy clouds.
It's silent.
Not a sound.
Except the teasing echoes of words entering my brain.
Taunting me.
Savouring moments of tranquility.
I can feel myself slipping away into another restful realm.
Hey hey,
Whatever next.
The tickle fairy wakes me.
Fills my mind, more words insane.
A zany moment.
Like a beer fizzing.
Another poems brewing.
Will I ever rest.
Probably not.
Writing's what I love the best!

Sorry guys another silly write! probably a bit more sensible than potatoes!

Ring goodbye to summer that never ever came.
Funktown.
All the guys get down,they're *****
The gals are always flirty.
Fun in summer sun.
Smiles and grins.
Going down.

Crying suicide.
Loved you once, eyes open wide.
Stitched her up on grazed knees.
Knees that bent.
Knew what you meant.
Knew whatcha wanted.
You knocked her down.
Lost her crown.
Luscious in lace and coney fur.

Paper knickers.
Party time.
Drugs and drink.
Whaddya think.
It maybe shady.
But what the hell.

Hell, you got a soggy bottom from lying on wet grass.
Like the snake you are.
A snake on strike.
Love is venomous.
Always enormous.
Totally toxic.
Love rocks it.
Dying quietly.
Muscles that spasm.
Took her breath away.
Clean away.

His Eyes!

In your eyes I find the meaning of creation,
The making of poetry,
Filled with darkness,
Filled with love,
A messy misnoma,
From a dark heart full of tenderness,
Drawing pain from imagery,
Painting pain with blistered pen,
Sketching love with cherished words,
Adoring me inside your eyes,
Black eyes,
Very rare,
Your black eyes admit you care!

Faces right pink, they think.
Actually  red faces they ripples.
With nares that do drip.
He slugs at the ******* of bottles of beer.
With the eyes of the china man,

BUZZ
Olivia Kent May 2015
Let's have a picnic under the trees.
Between the grass blades, a hay fever sneeze.
We can watch bumblebees dancing on flowers, they're floating on air.
We can eat sandwiches, loaded with tuna and cucumber for a few hours and delicious cream cakes.

Then came forth the wasps, not so pleasant, they bothered us.
Much more than the bees did before.
Toasting summer with ma, who sat on the grass, lemonade sipped by my mother and me.
Mother said" sit still and they 'll let you be".
Me being me, just had to flap.
Waspish creature got stuck under my cap, tangled up in my sweet lacquered hair.
I panicked and ran, flicked him out of my hair, out he flew.
Straight up my swirly pink gingham skirt.
Little beast got me, my how it hurt.

Long Time Dead!

LONG TIME DEAD!

Have a fading photograph.
It's etched in an album in my mind.
Was not a real image.
Imagined being there on their wedding day.
Memories of days passed yesterday.
Saw the two of them.
Looked still in love.
Holding hands.
Walking down a busy city street.
Prompted me to think a while.
To see such love gave me a smile.
Made me wish that I had found the same.
Never is to be.
I questioned in my mind.
What could their secret be.
Did they have children.
Maybe like me.
Don't believe that love is for real.
After years of feelings changing.
Love becomes friendship.
Friendship companionship.
Years bring intensity with strength.
In defence of one another.
Rough and smooth.
Storms ridden.
Still they made it through.
Tears welled up.
If wishes were kisses and wishes were true.
Could have spent my life with you!

Don't **** me pleads the turkey.

Let me still be living.

Or lunch or even Christmas supper.
If I had half a chance,
All your plans I'd scupper.
If I give up gobbling.
Your special day be wobbling.
The Christmas cheer be sweet meat.
As mince pies fruity.
Bring good cheer
Custard and fresh cream.
Its just the time of year.
** ** **.
Hell lets be jolly.
Around his head a crown of holly.
Mistletoe kisses are better than none.
Christmas season's just begun.

THIS AUTUMNAL MISTY MORN
Olivia Kent Nov 2015
Fencing raindrops.
Captured dew.
Afore mine eyes sparkling.
A perfect gift for misty morn.
Made by spider.
The clever, she.
Her web that utters, "darling I love you"
Come visit me.
Please stay for tea.
You will be my loved one.
My nourishment,
My sustenance.
I am arachnid, never will you be free.

WOLVES
Olivia Kent Feb 2015
Don't pet the wolves of Wall Street.
Definitely don't feed them.
They will bite your hand off without a second thought.
They're baying with the hounds of hell.
Stirring chaos in the world.
Within a melting ***.
It's ready to bubble over.
Beside the dogs of religion,
money is at the root of all that's evil.
Surely the devil's in control.
The ******* in charge of the Wall Street soul
The devil himself he calls to arms.
Those with world control.
Once again he uses his wily charms.

FREE SPIRIT
Olivia Kent Sep 2016
There's a spirit in my bedroom,
It's perched beside my bed.
It's very old, but very tasty.

Like a genie it lives in a bottle,
Until tipped and poured.
And then set free.

Then it shall play with my head.
It's lingered there since Christmas time.
Once was yours, but now is mine.
You didn't want it,
I didn't either then,
And now it's taunting me.
I fancy some again!
LIVVI
A bottle of Barcardi, that my daughter gave to me...I fancy a sip or two, all the friends who know me, will say that's not like you x

Tragedy!
Olivia Kent Nov 2013
Settle.
You have made a rash decision.
Thrown yourself away.
Take a chill pill.
Not literally I swear of course.
Put your head back on the level.
Put your feet back on the ground.
That does not mean, your  put your head upon the block.

In your sorrow
I do not revel.
Detest to see you in so many pieces.
I realise you're broken and hurting to bits.
Don't wipe yourself away.
Reinstate the poems that you've taken.

My friend a huge mistake you've made.
I know you have.
For the sake of cross wires.
Please don't crucify yourself inside.
Just rest and recover.
This has messed me, as much as thee.
Sweet man.

Reconsider your tragic actions so rash!

MAMMA
Olivia Kent Dec 2014
Mamma
Why didn't you hold me?
Why were you cold to me?
Did you not care?
Did you not want to?
You had it,
You had it all,
Kept it underneath your hat.
You never realised what you lost.
How much did it cost?
If you knew you would not make the same mistakes.
If time was yours to have again.

ADONIS
Olivia Kent May 2015
Chasing dreams.
You know what it means?
Hot in pursuance,
Rainbow chaser.
Smiling faces.
Crock-pots full up with gold.

It was only when I saw him.
A perfect specimen of a young man.
An Asian Adonis.
He was sat on the bus in front of me.
Perfect build, marvellous smile,
Everything fitted.
His eyes caught mine.
He stimulated me.
Sadly just my pen.
It took me all day to write this.
Sadly realising,
I'm ancient in comparison.
Such is life.
He looked at a young woman with scarlet hair.
Did I care, of course I did.
I wouldn't let it show though.
Today I write my silly words.
Just to let you know.
Don't know if you noticed me.
I sure as hell did, did you?
If you were on that bus about half past nine.
You won't remember me,
You were just today's inspiration.
Revel in the attention,
Hope you're flattered,
By she to whom, you'll never matter.
(c) Livvi MMCV
Dedicated to a young man on the U1a bus from Southampton at about 2115 last night...
Good grief I'm shocking.

Amend Me!
Olivia Kent Dec 2013
Love is not insipid.
With poetry strong,
Undeniable ox.
She's soft as a kitten.
When need doth declare.
Gentle as silk.

She's hard as nails of iron wrought.
Aware in heart that true love can never ever be bought.
Like respect it needs earning.
Love can be touched at times.
For her only the surfaced grazed.

When she finds you.
You'll be amazed
******* dressed.
Then runs away free.

Currently undressed near naked.
Vulnerable.
Such an empty shell remains.
Left alone.
Feeling just a little lost.

The only spirit my love knows is that of a ghost.
A ghost writer with mighty quill.

CATHARSIS
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
Seeking my younger self in the depths of the mirror that sparkles.
The mirror of sparkles,
which dwells in the river of moments once spent.
Spent as bullets.
Once fired from a living gun.
The living gun, as the are bullets wasted.
Now, in  virtual silence, ones self is found in a poetry book.
One, I writ.
I write for relief.
For  the exorcism of demons.
Repentant pleasure.
Penance at the end of a pen.
My medication.
My religion.
My love.

Who Took my Children Away!
Olivia Kent Dec 2013
What became of them.
A tragedy.
They all died.
I did nothing wrong at all.
I missed the best of them.
Now I have the rest.
Let them slip from my grasp.
I need not apologise.
It's just the way times flies.

In the blink of an eye they vanished.
These creatures, so once reliant on me.
Became independent.
We set each other free!
My children are now adults.
Catapulted from infancy.
Into adulthood!

BLIND DATE
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
He tried so hard to persuade her, he so wanted to invade her space.
Promised her joy,  he said it was waiting at the end of his wriggly finger.
So, said the gent who wanted to linger.
He wanted to stay at the end of their date.
Maybe he wanted to mate.
Can't think why, as spoken by the poets  most sarcastic pen.
Her sense of humour.
Always intact,
Always cool.
This perfect chick was nobody's fool.
She recalled in ample time.
The things her mother said to her.
Very well instilled, they were.
A timely reminder.
"Chicks pull worms", she said to me.
I guess they always will.
And you most certainly were one.
A worm that was.
She turned to him with a pure wry smile.
His right cheek recipient of such a mighty slap
Why the hell are you being so cheesy,
You got me wrong.
I sure ain't easy.
The man  wanting mischief,  was ushered out of the door.
Tail firmly between his legs, nowhere else, that's for sure.
Feeling just a little sore.
This cat's not playing anymore.

A little silliness.
Sorry Mrs Versatile just couldn't resist it and I know it's a bit tragic..my sense oh humour! :-)

REMEMBER, REMEMBER.
Olivia Kent Nov 2015
Pray let us not forget the fallen heroes from wars of now and times gone by.
A flash,
A crash.
A trick of lights.
May disturb the heroes on this night.
Noises.
Visions.
They were there.
Sod Guy Fawkes and pals (poor chaps).
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Firework night.
Mental gameplay.
Old soldiers,
Young Soldiers,
Cats and dogs.
Let's not forget the effect.
Too many tortured souls.
Still living in hell.
Fallen heroes.
Bowing in respect.

THE ENGLISH TEACHER
Olivia Kent Feb 2015
The English teacher told me,
"that proper poetry just had to rhyme."
"I had to tell her vehemently,
that I thought she was going out of her mind."
Poetry,  is a special heart felt thing.
It does not need to rhyme.
Unless it is a sonnet.
About a cute pink bonnet.
Or something similar.
I told her," that poetry came about from a free flow of ideas and rhythms"
That nobody knows from where it springs, as a trickling stream of words become an ocean of ideas.
Where eating leads to innovation and titles.
How many things can you find to write about chips and beans?
Watching television an inspiration in itself.
Just one word in conversation, may create a spark that could grow into a dinosaur or more.
So, Mrs Meacher,
English teacher,
Poetry doesn't have to rhyme.
Rhyming helps from time to time,
