Olga Valerevna May 2015
I've taken to the wind that moves what I may never see
And yet I feel it close enough to shift inside of me
It's there one day and gone the next but never for too long
Exhaling truth and bringing us to right where we belong
I never would have thought to put my life into its hands
But nothing else can even touch on what its strength commands
I'm done with all the chasing and escaping when I can
No longer will i fight the kind of human that I am
I've given all I am to you, the breath of all the world
So take me where I need to go like I'm your little girl
by the air we all breathe
Olga Valerevna May 2015
i carried you in heavy thoughts
and put your bones inside a box
i say all this to say what's true:
our bodies die before we do
i trust that even though we age
the time we have will set the stage
for when our minds take up their flight
to see the sun and touch its light
the weight of you inside my head
will turn to ash's heat instead
and only warmth will then remain
our souls alive, our bodies slain
Philippians 1:21
Olga Valerevna May 2015
It's possible to be aware of nothing anymore
and let yourself walk freely through the human you adorn

the sky provides for everything to grow and weather all
but people who uproot themselves can never take the fall

I see them lying everywhere, in piles and in droves
collecting like a breath of air inside a cloud of smoke

and every day they breathe their last, as least that's what they say
because of your anatomy you cannot walk away

So here you are a seventh time forgetting who you be
and every single chance you've had to faithfully believe
every single cell in our skeleton is replaced every 7 years

waking up is always the same
one lonely body
in her garden of graves
my heat is just that
my heat
my dreams are still mine
just because you haunt them -
a reminder to dread nothing
no toothless lion
clawless beast
I'll fly from your split
jolts, I never come back from
I don't believe in reach
not unless I am shown stretching
arms do not speak
but they release
it's been done
& done & done to me
freed, "you are safer like this"
loveless lips, the only ones I see
& feeding from the tips of a liar's teeth  
fed until I depended on it
then thrown into a gust
I'll fly far away from you;

& hopefully soon
when enough is e n o u g h

my instincts will kick in

you talk about wanting to be without us
and cut me to pieces like nobody does
i won't be defended by anyone here
i've learned to accept to them nothing is dear
and all of the past likes to conjure itself
to hide in the body of everyone else
i cannot be bothered to know what they'll say
they change with the seasons, they change with the day
so why should i focus on judgmental words
when i can grow wings by the wisdom of birds
admire and watch the whole world from above
and come down when there is a shortage of love
reminded by evil and moved to restore
i lived like you once but cannot anymore
where there is nothing sacred, there is nothing alive
Olga Valerevna Apr 2015
I think about the words that have been moving with the time
Directly intersecting at the center of our minds
To know that we as people will be couriers for life
Could have us feel a burden we would rather not invite
And that's when something happens to the rest of all the world
When sleep becomes elusive in the eyes of boys and girls
And just because they're open and the pupils are intact
Does not mean they are learning how to properly react
The fight to have a voice should not put blood upon our hands
And if you stop to listen you'll begin to understand
The universe's song does not belong to anyone
But if we sing together then our work here will be done

to grow apart and walk away
or tell you what I did today
my head is hot, my heart is light
so take a match and make it right
if there's a flame, a flicker still
I'll blow it out and wait until
the smoke is gone to look for you
and if you're there I'll start to move
remain the way we are and see
I'm what is you, you're what is me
and even though we'll never have
a road to run to take us back
the fear that was has ceased to live
and out of death comes I forgive
to love you once is all wish
to make it home, my hope is this
my mother once told me hope is the last to die
