Imagine: a perfect life
I have that right now.

Allow me to explain:
I’ve fallen hopelessly in love,
*and I continue to plummet every second
O.K
he’s all I need. all I want.

beautiful and soft,
dangerous and sharp.
it really depends on how cruel
the world chooses to be.

Why do people cut the thorns off of roses? That’s part of their entire beauty and life

it’s in his eyes
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2018
Ironic how the fire of passion and love can fill your eyes, deep blue like the ocean. It amazes me that your dark, gorgeous eyes still light up when they meet mine, nothing but love. I love how concerned they can be when I think I’ve hurt you and you want to show me it isn’t the truth.

**my favorite is when I catch them staring at me
O.K

blue lightning
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2018
a storm over a navy sea
of peach roses.
the waves roll, discomfort.
in between them, blue sparks.
    little lightning bolts.

hushed love
Olivia A Keaton Dec 2017
darling darling oh so divine
a pretty boy, there isn’t time
time enough to tell a tale
to whisper a story, to set a spell.

say it quick, say it fast
it should determine if I’ll be back.
so darling, oh darling so dear,
whisper me things I want to hear.
O.K
I continue to find that these poems are more about you than I thought.

I’ve got questions

I don’t know whether to be relieved
or upset that you don’t act differently
after we’ve had our nightly conversations.

I won’t have a date,
it’ll be too late,
a happy smile I’ll fake,
right on my face,
he will go with her,
she will go with him,
everyone is coupled,
and right here I am.
O.K
I’m gonna make them regret they didn’t ask.

wasted
Olivia A Keaton Dec 2017
I wasted my time drunk on him,

and I could’ve been wasted on you.
O.K
Take a sip, wait till it hits, that liquid guilt, is on my lips. I’m wasted on you.
Olivia A Keaton Dec 2017
deep in the night, when reality is out of my sight, ((though its blurred anyway)), I see you. You’re there. Through the haze wondering of sweet things and pretty days. No, you don’t see me, but I can see you. Your eyes, a beautiful night sky with stars made of dew. I watch carefully from a far not wanting to ***** you away, and I swear I could wonder about you all day. You’re a beautiful creature too far to touch, but maybe again I’m asking too much. I can see your sadness, yes it’s there, and there’s nothing I can do but kind of just stare. You’re beautiful baby, darling, oh dear, I just wish you knew I were here.

Arise!!
Olivia A Keaton Nov 2017
Let our love for the Lord become greater!
Let our hope arise!!!
Let our faith be ever so true!
Let our questions grow!
Let our thirst for the Word be an unquenchable one!

Let our hope arise!!
Let our love be strong!
O.K
I’m taking a break for the Lord, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Love you all!!

threes that I stole
Olivia A Keaton Nov 2017
I’m counting, let me be
1.2.3.
He just looked at me.
1.2.3.
I’m dying can’t you see?
1.2.3.
Pardon my three O.C.D.
1.2.3.

Several thirds of a whole
these are threes that I stole.
O.K
I like to count in threes
apparently it’s a side effect of OCD

Olivia A Keaton Nov 2017
He’ll take her to the dance
why do i try?
Why do I smile,
when he makes me want to cry?
She’s the perfect princess,
he’s the perfect king,
I guess I need to redress,
and learn how to clean.
O.K
I wish I were his cinderella

I can’t fall back into love,
I just want him to know.

Olivia A Keaton Oct 2017
it turns out,
that after I've fallen so hard,
          so far,
I regain strength to stand again.
but now, I find that
my strength has been stolen from me
as I continue my plummet into love.

parks of amusement
Olivia A Keaton Oct 2017
people in a park that I don't even know,
if he's not a working man,
where will he go?
I see her cup of latte,
steam in the air,
how can I feel the sadness,
if I wasn't even there?
A little boy is running fast,
as if without a care,
how in the world did she do that to her hair?
A too late, fall ice cream,
dripping from the sky,
how can I dare to smile,
when I just want to cry?

and I love you so much.
But with strawberry fields
come clusters of sadness,

happiness to balance that out.

hahahaha
Olivia A Keaton Oct 2017
it's really hilarious that
I spend my time trying to
make you smile when you're sad.
yet all you've done,
is ignore me and
that makes me feel bad.
you're welcome though I guess,
because my heart is stupid
and it loves you nonetheless.
O.K

and he doesn't care
Olivia A Keaton Oct 2017
it's really funny how I literally made you smile when you were really sad, and you still go to her when she was the one who made it all bad. she hurt you, yet "I love her so much." what. excuse me? I'm really confused?
when I said:
"It's really hard to get rid of your feelings for someone."
and you replied with,
"yeah especially the person of your dreams"
I knew that you never cared, because I was talking to you about you and her, but also you and myself.
O.K

Happy Birthday Abigail
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2017
Well hello Abigail!
You look gorgeous, it's true.
Your smile and laugh really fits you.
Even though you fret or stress about your hair being undone,
it doesn't take away from you, always a load of fun.
I really love you, like a lot.
You make me happy even if I'm not.
O.K
I hope you have a wonderful day, my brilliant cousin, no, my sister in disguise. <3

masked and hidden
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2017
I'm tired of hiding behind a wall,
holding my head high,
not letting my chin fall.

I'm sick of putting on a show,
making them smile and laugh,
maybe one day they'll know.

Head held high,
and thoughts held low,
maybe I'll cry, maybe you'll know.
O.K

for him..
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2017
isn't he beautiful
with his forest eyes
that have a few ocean raindrops?
isn't he charming
with that sunshine smile
with a few glints of sadness?
isn't he wonderful
with his award-winning personality?

*i love all of this about him,
       and more

oops. I think I'm falling.

God have I been in love.
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2017
Lord knows I have been in love.
You know that punch in the gut,
right where the butterflies flutter,
sort of head-over-heels feeling,
everyone seems to talk about it?
Yeah that's the one.

I've felt that way recently,
and yet it was forever ago.

and an author once said,
"it's getting dark, let's open
the curtains a little bit."
O.K
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
And I will never not apologize
for loving you
because honey I sure do.

never not
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
I will never not apologize
or hate myself through
countless cries.
I wish that life were good
and that I was locked away
in a quiet neighborhood.
I want to be strong for those I love
but I'm afraid that even if it's 'ok'
**i will never be ok enough.
O.K
I'm getting worse

what is a perfect person?
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
It just occurred to me,
people don't want someone
with flaws.
Okay, let them try and find that person.
Wish them luck, but you should know,
and I should know and acknowledge
that those people don't exist.

"Boy it's awfully hard to find a rose,
without the thorns.
And who in their right mind wants
a perfect, harmless flower anyway?"
O.K
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
right now I have mixed emotions.
Allow me, I'll tell you why.
I have the most homework,
because absent was I.
But I also have him
what a wonderful thing
seeing his smile,
a bright sort of thing.

(but his blue eyes,
they make my heart sing)

And the worst little bit,
a sadness no doubt,
is that I am an ugly,
so with him I'm without.
O.K
oops

Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
its weird that you continue
to give my heart and stomach
butterflies after all of these years
of getting to know you.
