Olivia Ventura Aug 2019
Travel down a wooden pathway
Where glow fish taunt the fishermen
And flirt with their lustful hooks
Until they come up with empty handed respect

True waltzes with false
Where the horizon blurs into oblivion
And the massive unknown consumes the view
Until you fade into its corruption

Tread lightly when others stomp
Where conversation flounders on idle lips
And understanding becomes a currency
Until it snaps into a sudden, “goodbye.”
Olivia Ventura Jul 2019
The sun said to the moon:
Why can I never catch up to you?
But the moon replied:
Were we not running away from each other?

Break raw noodles into a boiling ***
By letting me loosen up from my stiff ideals
By giving my thoughts some time to marinade  
So I’ll have more flavor, texture, and perspective

Whiskey and sours
In the lonely hours
Is a bubbly dream
As I’m letting off steam
Olivia Ventura Mar 2019
You are a walnut
In every sense of the object-
Crack your chest open
And find out who you are
Olivia Ventura Mar 2019
I am alone, yes
But I feel surrounded
By your words
Your desires
Your touch
Your needs
Your energy-

And I hate you for it
And I love you for it
And I need you for it
Olivia Ventura Mar 2019
My foot taps concrete
To the beat of my blood

My mouth is an acoustic guitar
Strumming your name against my lips

My cheeks go red
At the images I conjure

My mind is a snare drum
Pounding against my better judgement
