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,

UNIVERSAL SOLDIER
Olivia Kent Sep 2015
Rain falling at midnight.
Clock strikes thirteen.
Speaking of love.
Speaks verbatim.
Says as is believed.
What she's wanting to hear.

She is his treasure.
He keeps her locked in a passion ***.
Smokes a pipe, of you know what.
He puffs cos he's loving it.
Keeps him all mellow.
Inside his blood runs a strange shade of yellow.
No choice of his own, red streaked with terror.

He reaches his pint.
It helps him forget.
That war experience making him wretched.
Clumsy and hopeless.

His love here lays dormant.
He so wants to love her.
Sadly he can't.

A victim from Nam.
Iraq and Japan.
Wars won and two.
He can't love you.
Or her or anyone else.
He is the sad hero who can't love himself.

His war is over now.
He drifts off to sleep.
Dream lady lover.
Please don't cha weep.

Finale! (DARK POETRY)
Olivia Kent Nov 2013
Cold.
Tap tap.
Heavy tap.
Held still.
Stiff.

Airless.
Breathless.
Eyes locked shut.
Lips once kissable.
Remarkable.
Memories locked in pungent box.

Showered.
Not in wedding's.
Nor in infants in progression.
Embryonic session passed.
Life gone.
Had a blast.

Ashes to ashes.
Dust to dust.
Once was body beautiful.
Very shortly ****** dust.

Pinnochio and the queen
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
Pinnochio and The Queen
Puppet image, sorrowful,
Rouge dusted sparkles bless his cheeks,
Such childlike image, as cheery angel,
Gay, misled by teen fantasy,
Hair coiffured not a whisper out of place,
In faded denim hot pants,
Appears out of place,
Parading as a shop mannequin,
Like a tiny harlequin,
Lust for some emotion,
Advertising wares for sale, in aim of a promotion,
A sad commodity,
Full of ****** satisfaction,
Young men, old men , suited men and booted men,
Seeking cutie prey,
Maybe,Streets paved in gold,
Fools gold in the truth was found,
Impure truth was the only thing he ever bought!
Prince Albert,although not his **** in truth,
Instead pond life **** took on the role, with cruel control,
Lives in land where tragic lies, and sorrow becomes magnified,
The shards of all, is ****** fantasies.
As an immigrant to land of city lights,
I see through windows fogged by city smoke!
Visualising through caring eyes,
What I see appalls me deep within,
Tears my soul to tears!

CARELESS CARESS.
Olivia Kent Jan 2016
Wearing a crown of tangerine thorns.
Dances as the day she was born.
Naked.
Clothed only in pure fresh air.
Falling hair and skin so fair.
Vibrating ******* open to guests.
Sate all hungry children.
With the gods ambrosia.
A child of wondrous starlight.
Images locked all out of sight.
It is the time of afternoon.
Sips passion from a silvery spoon.
Lustre sparkles in her eyes.
Turns her back and slowly cries.
Tears trickle down her *******.
Aged now so are redundant.
Children unfurled wings of gold.
Flown away.
She's grown old.
Older than she was was before.
Quality old gold.

In Defence of His Realm
Olivia Kent Aug 2013
Changing  preordained judgement of chivalrous prince,
Judgement of a man with a brain on fire,
Imagination, awe inspired,
Not always charming in writing,
Prince Charming to me...!
Most charming!
He was a prince charming,
My Prince Charming,
Was shown nothing  but grace and love,
Invaded his space,
For a week and a piece,
I truly was his sugar and lace,
I still am,
In heart and mind and dreams, still so close
He was nothing more than gentleman,
Although, many think him mental man,
He is an awesome writer,
For  in this his realm I do defend,
This dark writing man,
Showed nothing of the blackness,  
In which he delights,
His fierce pen, he wields in spite,
Sharp as vicious stiletto heel,
Piercing hearts,
Although his writes are often black,
Inside his heart is ****** white,
Pure with imagination and pen  pushing power!

RED ROSES
Olivia Kent Nov 2015
A rose that blooms when summer's high.
Enough to fill a fantasy.
Given to a lover true.
A rose so scarlet.
To thrill the love thou once held inside mine heart.

Red rose, o red rose given to me.
Love is the only emotion I see.
Thine eyes told no lies.
Words unsaid.
Those climbing roses grow up the wall anchored fast throughout the fall.
They rap on the window, tap, tap, scratch.
Reminders, such perfect mementoes of loving moments, we once shared.
Accidentally you let it slip from heart and mind,
How scared thou must have felt.
Time set you free.
The ladybird cared.
Sitting in sunshine.
She's basking in joy.

MOTHER'S HOUSE
Olivia Kent Jan 2015
My mother's house is full of spirits.
An awesome atmosphere.
Ancient kitchen with all mod cons.
Narrow winding stairs.
Ethnic and groovy abode.
Art work sent straight from Bohemia.
Brick built fireplace.
Clean and neat.
Delicious taste of conscience cooking.
Consciously.
Hey good looking.
The cooking's grand.
And the  evening whisky.
Makes you sleepy.
I bet you thought I'd say frisky.
Your house is utterly amazing.

You stole the diamonds in my eyes.
And turned them into tears.

***** dragons dancing at daylight.
With bright sparks they fed you.
Filled you up.
Love of my life.
A lovesick pup.
Been the same for years.

Coffee creme and mallow kisses.
Dreams of love forever wishes.
Strawberry fool.

You don't see my tears.
I won't let you.
No regrets.

Costly trinkets winked as you fled.
Sparkled for a moment in space,
Then you were dead.
Filling up again.
Tangerine dreams and jealousy pain.
You left my soul so cold.
Still I wait for the greatest love of all.
I see the phone.
It never rings.
You never ever call.
I fell at your calling.
Kinda stopped falling.
A chalk on a bedpost.
Merely a ghost.

In Spite, I Fight!
Olivia Kent Aug 2013
Furious, spurious, sets hell on fire,
I hate you with all of my heart,
I spit in your treacherous face, you sweet *****,
in my life you are just a minimal glitch,
I hate you with passion,
like it went out of fashion,
My pen wants to lash you to bits,
My talons are out,
This monster is green, it wants to get out,
I'm  a killing machine, on the loose!
Feeling so vengeful, so full of spite,
The lady in blue, is an angel in white,
Sleep well in your bed, as you sleep overnight,
Lock yourself away,
Right out of my sight!!!
(Most of all, remember please,  that this is just my attempt at a really dark write!)

SOLILOQUY
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
Oops, I woke up dead,
Reflected on what I'd done.
Picked up my pen,
began to write.

I had four children you know,
I was a selfish *****.
I spent no time on loving them
I really didn't  care.
Always put myself first.
Hell, I always do.
I'm such a witch.
Did *** and drugs and rock'n'roll,
Far too much to mention.

Then I met him,
A crazy kind of love,
but true love nonetheless,
The first time ever,
A feather in my cap for me.
Wasn't a notch in his bed post,
He swore he loved me too.
I know he did,
Never will he admit his love to any soul bar mine.
But he loved his whisky better.
He's still my friend.

Praise be.
After spilling poison buckets, filled with animosity.
Apologies given in metaphoric kisses,
well they made amends.
After the nonsense, still friends
Friends will do.
It'll have to.

He wrote reams of poetry,
Rather more than me.
I wrote books, because I love it.
You know I really do.
And then the sky fell in,
I'd  missed the most important thing.
And now here I lay,
Cold as stone,
Thinking what have I done.
I have given birth to many,
but, only thought of one.
At this point I say sorry,
Wipe away an icy tear.
Smile slightly breaking through.
I miss you all my dears.

Hell's Fires Released
Olivia Kent May 2013
I am not the goddess of hell's fire!
I only bring joy in  my wake...no prisoners do I ever take....
I speak a mind so wild so free, sometimes as whirling dervish, rich!
I peel back not my skin,
a sweet loyal heart is found....I keep her deep within,
Bleeding ruddy blood again.......
Blood is fire to my body, fuels hell's fire released into my brain!
My spirit settles.......
I'm running free again !

LOST
Olivia Kent Aug 2015
When you can't reach the stars at the top of the stairs.
When your eyes become blinded in your darkened domain.
All you find is storm, upon storm.
Barrage balloons and a million blue moons ,none that I can find, pray someone remind me that life's really good.
I find no interest but, I know that I should.
When lost moments are gone and you can't see the sky, the nails on your fingers scratch hard, you're wanting to cry,but your tears are all gone, stolen by one, who says that you're stupid.
Tears came back, they're chasing the tracks of the scratches of nails, where snails become slugs, salt hating bugs.
Disintegrate into puddles of slush.
Reminiscent tears, begin more to gush as they flush out bad feelings of battling with demons.
Want more soft furnishings to cushion my head, I fight onwards and upwards, wish I was dead.
I doesn't always follow, as sometimes I'm mellow, tinged with spots of cowardly yellow.
The bus passed the stop and I just can't step off.
The world keeps on turning, somewhere a sparks still burning.
Never know why, I just need a good cry.
I want a good sob.
I know that I do.
My world is beaten black shades of blue.
I sit in the corner and rock like the clock on the shelf, with the crocodile tears, just a big fish out of water, they call me a flounder.
A bit of a chicken, scratching the farmyard.
Guess what ladies and gentlemen the poet's a ******.
Not too hard to work out I guess, yep, everyone knows that the poet's a mess.
Large black dog, swirls round my head, still wish I was dead, born a coward always will be, stay in bed, take some proper medication..no not suicidal, some delicious anti-d's.
All shall pass, soon I shall be me again,
Honestly.

Love is Sick!
Olivia Kent May 2014
He made her feel special,
Magic dripped from his fingers.
Dripped more from his tongue.
She made him feel,
Feel again, scared to break a record of being loved again.
No more.
Instead of word of mouth.
For her from land down south.
He fired blank responses from his very wary pen.
The record made of vinyl, was moulded in bright yellow,
As canary stood, did strut his stuff, sadly never mellow.
He swore as stood in front of her,
He'd never love again.
And he did.
Stupid sod.
He loved her too, he told her so, the demi-god.
He ran faster, much faster than the pouring rain,
His love he washed it down the drain.
Blew more wildly than the wind,
She was his malediction, the thing called love it bit again, made him feel, buckets worse.
Such  soul slaying addiction!

AGEING FLOWERS

Now is but my finest hour,
as flowers spray,
Mine is that of scented roses,
wound round trellis in my garden,
such delight,
My years.
they are  just flowers in the sun,
loaded with seeds to multiply,

Mine,
are buddlea blooms on bushes,
bright blue,
enticing butterflies,
or dried lavender,
freshens costumes for work and play,
blouses of pure chiffon,
cotton and silk,

As age passes,
so,
so does my style,
Once was decadent and hectic,
now dressed with serenity,
I'm just,
Just still a hippie at heart.

To Bee or Not To Bee?

As a bee to a flower you are drawn to her.
An enchantress.
She won't let go.
She provides no toxicity.
Has no sting in her tail.
Lady fair.

She is the queen of all you survey.
In and out of your head.
Such an annoying buzz.
Irksome, Irritating,
Like an itch you need to scratch.

Why does she annoy you so with her sweet hum.,
Because..,
You want her in your world.
She is the only one!

Staring in the mirror.
What's staring back at me.
A naked flower with falling petals.
Bare and exposed.
Clothed in streaks of green leaves.
Vine I believe.
Dolmades' with uncooked lamb.
More likely mutton alternatively.
Served up with ouzo.
Staggering about in aniseed dreams.
Feed your eyes.
On what you cannot see.
Fired from elastic catapult flying free.
Cupids arrow missed.
Guess he's always pi**ed.
At the bottom of his list.
In a filing cabinet somewhere.
Let the world forget.

HEALTH IMPLICATIONS
Olivia Kent Feb 2017
Breathing's carcinogenic, when breathing the wrong things.
Smoking cigarettes.
Laying smog,
Hit the chest like an old dog.
Pollution overload.
Drink and drugs are killing you,
Life's problems, induced by man's behaviour.
Fatty foods and alcohol sure ain't nobody's saviour.
They say that Joan's got a big heart,
It's loaded up with body mass.
And it's the vessel full of poison punch, that John drank from,
That made his liver bigger.
A mass collection of varices float around his swollen belly,
Much the same for Julia.
As if they didn't realise,
It's all over the telly.
Jenny had ****** relations with far too many men,
All the children that she's left with, flock to their mother hen.
A life full of demanding,
With little reprimanding.
But then,
They're living on the breadline,
Mother must be careful, not to burn their toast,
Another ****** carcinogen,
Most people love a cuddle, but no one wants a stroke !

The predictor of weather forecasting ice cold winter winds, along with bright white snow.
If it falls overnight, it shall lay pure as a ****** till it enters our sight.
One step at a time.
Shining glory, at first impression.
Then, an hour or two, post the impact of shoe.
Will present as mud and slushy muck.
Ice, unkind ice will cause feet to slip.
Hopefully, not on a striking doctors day when old people break their hips.
Doctors have to make their point, their hours are long.

Sleep stolen from mine eyes needs,
How wonderful to sit in land of dreams awake,
'Tis such a ***** of blood fuelled scorn,
Mine eyes with wakefulness adorned,
A man who writes, keeps me alive,
When blessed sleep,somehow evades my gentle lids,
When your true love , he so forbade,
A haze of fashionable discretion snatches,
Life catches me stabs my heart,
Bleeding her dry,
Poetry stabs mine,
In writing his art as true love binds!

The shards of the smashed clock.

Oblivious of moments spent.
Overtly obvious.

Eyes peeled as blood oranges.
After visit from assailants hands.
And still they drip.

She dropped to her knees in terrors distress.
It's off with her head in a field of regret.
In a misery of meaningless life.

Love grabbed the summertime.
Painted skin in shades of tan.

Dying in the river of time.

Bring forth autumn.
When love got caught.
Captured in leaves as they fell.
On the floor they lay.
Crisp and crunchy.
Colourful and loud.
Trampled.
Beneath the feet of fools.
Late autumn,
A bonfire of leaves.
Destroyed.
Just a pile of ash.

Thanksgiving feed.
Start of all festivities.
As noel arrives with white beard in tow.
The bells ring out for Christmas time.
Peace and love to one and all.

The mass of Christ be gone.
Daffodils breach the soil.
The year of the next slides in.
Spring on in.
The end of sorrow.
May the tragedies of the year past.
Be cured.
Treasury of memories grand.
Friends around the world.
Join hands in celebration.
True friendships renewed.
Pray let new beginnings.
Cruise on in.

I am the love to hold your hand, while on the terror world you ride,
I am the love to feed your fire,
I am the sweet love to thrill your desire,
I am your lady dressed in black,
I am the one to keep you warm,
While nights are cold and the world is dark,
I am the one to soothe your brow,
I am the only child in time,
Who finds a place in plenty of rhymes,
I am one of several, who give you a reason,
To ride this harsh world through many seasons,
A reason for living,
A reason for giving,
For sharing and caring,
When tomorrow comes I can smile again,
Your touch will bless me and take away pain,
For in your arms I shall remain.

STRANGE TIMES
I have a penthouse apartment in the back of beyond.
It's in the distance.
Painted on a skyline,
Silhouetted in ebony black.
It's in another city,
I know not where.
It has darkness and sorrow,

Maybe finding it is attainable.
A raven, flies over somewhere.
Potent portent of doom,

I invented it as I'm sat in my room.
Boredom taking hold.
It's being bold,
So am I.

How dare it I ask,
I ask myself.
I ask you?

I'm willing to view in the eye of my wild mind,
A future filled passion, that we all shall find.

We'll catch a ball.
A perfect globe.
Dress it with high fashion.
Caress it with love.
The world the wonder,
Wearing nowt except a protective verdant glove.

We will arise.
Open your eyes.
See beyond the darkness.
For there will surely be light.

In the lovely land of kitchen.
He kissed me as we spoke.
Took me close and held me tight
Kept me close in tender arms.
He stroked my heart with gentle words.

Phone rang as I sat on the bus.
Voice of excitement echoed.
Will you be long.
How long will you be.
He could not wait to see my face.
Was excited as a puppy,
Cute.

A collection of others, could see we were lovers.
Said they'd never seen him so happy.
His tears they flowed as I did go.
Said he wished he'd met me years ago.
Fate herself decreed,
Oh no.
We were not to be.

Said he wished I'd met his mother.
Said that she would love me so.
Told me,
He had told a long gone lover.
That,there I was.
New a.n.other.
Said we'd go and see a band.
Upon another never day.
We'd stroll along hand in hand.

Jesus, I so don't understand.
Why time was so unfair.
When still lives inside a tragedy,
An inability to care!
I'm rather pathetic, I don't really care.
For I am the chick with the auburn hair.
Chicks pull worms.
What more can I say.
Pray let the sweet lover be happy at play!

She had poppy made of paper.
Stuck between her *******.
In memory of the last one, he always had been best.
Upon the hazy battlefield she'd seen him as he fell.
In her wings she carried him upwards out of hell.

Sat in the sanctuary of prickly peace.
Pit of sweet slumber.
Scrutinising the rain as it paints ornate pictures on my window.
It's calling out.
Glass glimmering.
Pane quivering to the beat of the raindrops that pound.
Beating the window, before greeting the ground.
Bouncing and dancing as whirling ballerinas.
Facetted diamonds.
They're dripping from fronds.
Hanging from ferns.
The rain's falling fast in sparkling wet gemstones.
Having a blast.
Twisted on wind.
Winding and crashing.
Hear them calling clamorously,
Hail us all warm dry cab.
For soon they shall be melting.

Hey You!
Olivia Kent Nov 2013
Hey You!

Pick up that gun.
Pull the trigger.
See who is going to be first,
The first one to snigger.

Hey you.
Shaking in your pixie boots.
Do you think she's gonna shoot.

Wry smile creeps.
From eyes that don't weep.
That peep around corners.
Abridged by the mourners.

Hey you.
Is she feeling blue.
Is she gonna run a main line.

Leaving tracks from vacant trains.
A fix to write all wrongs.
No man.
Chemical solutions never fixed the pain.
No needles ever entered her sweet veins.

Mortal remains of love unchanged.

Changing Faces
Olivia Kent Jun 2014
The fields are old,
furrows run deep through their barren path,
the last time they were ploughed, was a year ago,
after last sunlight,
preceeding last snowfall,
they are not fertile,
they lay ancient,
maybe they just lie,
maybe they're filled to the brim with old bones,
they store knowledge within their clods,
just occasionally,
now and again a creature crawls over their surface,

It is not a field with furrows, but an ageing face,
A face that needs replenishing,
brushing tenderly with restorative fingertips,
fingertips that soothe with moisture cream,
collecting a nightmare and creating a dream!

SUN DAY SUNSHINE
Olivia Kent Dec 2014
The sky is full of winter sun.
It's cold yet sparkly.
Let's have fun.
After all things said and done.
It's a glorious Sunday,
We fought the wind and raindrops.
Guess what,
Came safely through the storm of Boxing night,
We won!

CHRISTMAS DAY
Olivia Kent Dec 2014
The children went off into the woods to play.
It wasn't there yesterday you know.
The cottage with the thatched roof covered in crystals of ice and dripping snow.
The trees in the forest are lovely and clean, they're smelling of freshness, they're dressed in bright green.

The cottage windows glowed with smiles.
Very inviting and cosy and warm.

Cautiously, the children peeped in through the windows.
The windows behind which all secrets hid.
They saw a room with a blazing fire in the hearth.
A room full up with noisy industrious elves.
They were picking and packing toys onto the shelves.

The children were such mischievous imps.
They had to take a closer look.
They crept as silently as the night moved, to the other side of the copse.
Looked into the window, just over there.
A chubby red faced woman was plaiting her hair.
On the opposite side of the very same room, sat Santa Claus.
He was wearing maroon.
The children stood and watched a while.
I swear they saw old Santa smile.
He noticed them looking in.

The old door swung open, he beckoned them in.
He fed them Christmas cookies.
Gave them steaming cocoa in mugs.
Santa was just the jolliest chap that they had ever met.
They finished their drinks and munched all their cookies.
Santa Clause said to the children, now off you must go.
You must forget we ever met.
He waved them goodbye, as they left through the door.
They skipped and they danced over the woodland floor.
Those naughty children would be back tomorrow.
The following day they went back to the very same spot, Santa was gone and all was forgot.

It was 5'o'clock in the morning, on December 25th.
The children rustled and played with their stockings.
Smiling excitedly and noisily.
Delighted that they had not been forgot.

My Christmas!
Olivia Kent Dec 2013
My Christmas

My gifts they came today.
A day late.
As into my own abode I came.

A feast of plenty for Christmas.
Did share all with my friend who cares.
Spent a time of peace and love.
That gift of friendship.
The greatest gift I ever shared.
Long may it be true.
Had the holiday of plenty.
Relaxed and full of food.
It was almost silent there.
There was no crazy alcohol,
Well not much anyway.
Pots of luscious chocolate.
Cheesecakes by the dozen.
Just a little peace and quiet.
Thank you my friend.
I'm delighted that I tried it.

Tripping Out
Olivia Kent May 2014
Went on a day trip,
carried on as a night trip,
she met witches,
and *******,
and cliffs that crumbled,
before her eyes,
they dissolved,
as Henry dissolved the monastic orders,
where reality of beliefs were questioned out loud,
inside the mind of the trippers,
she listened to music so loud, but so quiet,
in a spot where sounds played on indecipherable,
she went out to dinner with the man of her dreams,
however;
it wasn't a bit like it seemed,
he fed her spaghetti,
it made her sick,
it tasted good at the time.
The journey continued,
met up with Old Nick,
who screeched at her,
" you ****** day trippers,
you all make me sick"
he played a bit more,
with her day tripping mind,
He laughed loudly at her,
right in her face,
pallid visage,
as he scared her to death.
she sat and she gibbered, as an unmoulded jelly,
and she cried,
poor little cow,
looking back,
she doesn't know how, she ever enjoyed it.
She never enjoyed it really,
some scary escapism.
never again.

A Heart!
Olivia Kent Jul 2013
Catch a beating heart and keep it in your pocket,
Keep it very safe and warm,
Never ever lock it,
Massage it well and keep it snug,

Wrap it up in velvet,
Treat it tenderly,
Then when you no longer need it,
You must set it free,

Give to your lover,
When he starts to melt,
Take his heart in return,
And wrap it up in felt.

Two darling hearts become entwined,
In body, and in mind,
A dream perchance,
That no greater love you'll ever find!

BUDS
Olivia Kent Jan 2017
Lost in a whirlwind.
That's beating the eyes.
The falling of old leaves.
A mere disguise.
At the end of the twiglets, buds of green curl.
Tight.
Neat.
Waiting to unfurl.
Proof in the mind's eye that true love is coming.
A love of life.
Trifling.
Dabbling.
Magic of spring break.
Last year is happily dead.
Momentous change.
Around the invisible corner doth wait.
For sure.
In all certainty.
All hands be raised that tomorrow may be great.

Crossed Wires!
Olivia Kent Nov 2013
In an endless field of good intent.
Filled with tragic muddied puddles.
Ram was lost.
Love was found.
Mislaid in poetry.
Wires crossed.

Love,
Truth,
Trust
Respect.
The sworn mantra.
Carried sword of deep regret.

Crucifixion not intended.
Honesty a greater fix.
Spoken words relieved.
Revealed in written peace.

Had the words been spoken.
Way back down the path.
Nothing cruel would happen.
Could still of had our laugh.

Private words betwixt the two.
Could have been much clearer.
Would not have come to cruelty.
Never out to cause pain.
Wash it out with springtime's rain.

LOVE,I DOUBT IT
Olivia Kent Feb 2016
Said I'd love you darling.
For ever and a day.
I say your honour" I love you,"
But you never knew I lied.
I smiled as I knelt and I knelt as I smiled.
I called you sir.
You called me milady.
You ran your fingers through my hair.
You teased my hair as I teased you too.

You stood in full attention.
That I shall not mention.
As I licked, I liked.
In passion's throes.
I told you I loved you.
The only thing you never knew was that my passionate cries.
Were merely lies.
Love died long ago.
You sir, you will never know.

Wet Pain!
Olivia Kent Nov 2013
As a sponge I soak up buckets of rain.
Trapped inside as liquid pain.
Drenched with passion’s stench.
Almost as mentor
He was there.
Once or twice.
Two powerful pens.
We worked as one.
He sort of taught me how to write.

Well a little bit at least.
Always believed I did it well.
Helped me make and mend my range.
For he writes mainly darkness.

With a little help from you my friend.
Found my own darkness in the end.
I love the feel of darkness he conjured.

Will there to be light in my dark again?

No Alarm!
Olivia Kent Oct 2013
It's six o clock in the morning.
My blessed day off.
As if the hands of time shook me awake themselves.
Almost a phantom.
It, Time  enters my living realm and catches me from slumber deep.
Drives me crazy almost an insult.
Sunday kiss..
Never need to wake up so early.
Body clock of time.
Always screams " you do".

JELLY ?
Olivia Kent Dec 2015
A minute vibrating piece of jelly quivers upon the dashing rocks.
Claret tints, strands and sinews.
Doesn't like the sunshine.
It dries it and fries it.
No nerve stimulation.
Nearly dead.
Neatly lacking lustre.
The heart of the lover, once all at sea.
You smile.
Thinking perhaps, it's a strange jellyfish.
You look closer.
Interpretation's not your strong point.
You never knew how she felt.
Alas, tis not,
Her heart left on the unsure line.

PEACE
Olivia Kent Mar 2015
Waiting for God at the end of the world.
Not sure where he is.
Guessing he's running a little late.
For the first time ever in my life, a late running date is great.

Perhaps he's sat in his lodge.
Thinking and scratching his head.
A conundrum rushing round his brain.
What to do with the state of his planet.

He sits and enters conversation with his brothers and sisters.
Enters into a vibrant debate with Mohammed, the great prophet.
One of his greatest mates.

Buddha, a peaceful soul.
A role akin to God's brother.
He sat down cross legged, in almost perfect lotus position.
To evoke a little peace the purpose of this tranquil mission.

And the three of them spoke to  George Harrison and Lennon.
That was Lennon, not Lenin!
They all shared a similar perspective, the view suggesting  "give peace a chance".

The Hindu deities all fed their input to the  other chappies.
None of the religions wanted all out war.
After much discussion everyone left happy!
And that's why he was late.
