How could I have stripped away the meaning of my words
Their fluctuation patterns and all structure has been blurred
Every time I move my lips I sound still more absurd
But even so this nothingness I speak can't be unheard

Like pools of water drowning out the lives of those around
Pounding on their ear drums a morose syllabic sound
And if they even try to breathe in air that they have found
Their heads will sink into the clouds of what has been unbound

Watch and wait for time reveals the days just one by one
And whether you've said lies or grace, the hour soon will come
When that which needs to disappear and make way for the sun
Will fade like meaning you have lacked by letting loose your tongue

I come way too close

dancing in my skull
i can feel your tapping feet
putting me in trances
i go in and out of sleep
bend my body forward and
you wake me with a kiss
and tell me there is nothing
in existence sweet as this
shifting all my senses
to the texture of your skin
i have known it well and
now can see what lies within
maybe you have learned me
just as I have learned you too
so let me hear the ways that
you have mastered what you do

In a poorly ventilated room

These two empty people
are sitting in a room
waiting for their fates to cross and hoping it be soon

Washing off their faces
replacing them with masks
and saying that they see themselves to everyone who asks

Catching all the sickness
from other people's hearts
then purging out their own disease by way of tainting art

Everything they painted
has dried and turned to stone
and soon their hands will harden too as bodies decompose

Making way for masses
to follow in their suit
planting seeds that never grow or yield them any fruit

These two empty people
are sitting in a room
waiting for their fuse to burn and magnify the fume

there is a well

of all the ways you beckon me
i turn to rain when you look at me

a mix of tears from joy and pain
becomes me as i go insane

laying down inside your arm
i hear your heart and be its guard

and every single time i rest
upon the pillow of your chest

i learn another way to mend
the parts of you that have no end

so drink me now and i'll come in
and live with you inside your skin

and any time that there's a drought
i'll slake your thirst as i come out

An invitation to dinner

All I have to feed me now are plates of empty words
worse than any taste I've known, unsuitable for birds

With my hands I shovel in the sustenance I need
but quite the opposite it does, internally I bleed

Worlds of love and unmasked hate begin war in my eyes
and every time I close them I can see things I despise

So I ask you, tell me now - when did you last eat?
let me give you what I made, come and take a seat

We left that house on terrible terms (10W)

sodded with soil of dark turmoil
ready for the earthworms

Olga Valerevna Oct 2012

When

I think about forever
I picture it with you

Brought to life eternally by all of what we do

We're constants always changing
But perfectly in sync

So much so we close our eyes the same way when we think

Hide me in your valleys
The dimples on your skin

And when the water rises high just teach me how to swim

Moving through the seasons
Turning hands of time

We're making way for yesterdays to shape our world sublime

Endings have no meaning
For never can they stay

You and I fold into new beginnings every day
