Untitled
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
even though it never happened,
I remember remarkably well.
your blue eyes sparkled with a hint of green,
as did my brown ones, I'm sure.
and apparently if we look long enough,
seeing that glimmer of love,
you'll try to kiss me,
but I will only dodge it.
how truly stupid of me.

I was tickled and not disappointed,
seeing how love sick i was.
theres only a sliver of hope left,
that dreams can become reality.
O.K
good dreams are what I live for, and great reality is what I dream of.

shot in the sky
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
arrowheads shoot into the night
and ring a cry of war,

war of love but not fright.

a beautiful aim into a heart
and a few little words that mean the world,
*we will never be apart,
I will love you forever wait and see.
O.K
love is a war of waiting isn't it?

ferris wheel
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
round and round
actually, it's pretty slow
but when it's all done,
I don't really know where to go.

the wind in my hair,
a smile on my face
and that's when I think,
"why would I ever leave this place?"

late summer nothings
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
I've always believed that
the best things you could do
for someone, were not things.
they were nothings.
and as so, it is true.

See my dear friends, an example or two:
   a little money although you never ask,
a substitute from a too-easy task,
   a ride on the wheel, even when they're afraid,
a boy in a book, learning how to braid,
   even a blanket when you're a little too cold,
or a genuine smile from someone that's old.


Its truly the nothings, can't you see?
The nothings mean something to me.
O.K
Give someone a nothing and see what it will do.
I thank God for the beautiful nothings I receive everyday although I'm not always good to return.

little baby blue
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
good morning little boy
bundled in blue,
today is beautiful
and so are you.


a gift from heaven
that God perfectly made,
you are worth a price,
it was very well paid.


two parents just smiling away,
oh baby boy,
how you've made their day
O.K
I am so happy for my cousin Abigail and her husband as they begin to grow their beautiful family. I wish the best for them and happy days for them and their baby boy.

My Apologies
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
I haven't particularly
been active,
and for that I apologize.
But soon I must write,
as fast as education
can make me wise.
O.K
School is almost here, and while I'm kind of dreading it, it will give me much more time to write.

music and its joy
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
melancholy beats
that's enough for me
a little spark
in the lyrics
really helps me breathe.
O.K
My best therapy is music, and one of my favorite artists is now working on a new album and honestly, I can't wait.

A Forest Covered in Moss
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
isn't it pretty?
please, don't answer that,
I don't want your answer.
Two teenagers, as love sick
as they come, sit under a ceiling of leaves.
While another, leaves for a moment
and notices the beauty
of a closed park, rusted swings,
and a moss covered forest.
And all she wanted
was to be the breeze.
O.K
these words are ones that are just pieced together, but enjoy.

a mother's shadow
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
there are so many ways to define mother.
a woman who is blessed to conceive,
the person who raises you,
or someone who sticks around

          but
it's an entirely different definition for a mom.
and while I have a mother
and always have had a mother,
ive only recently found my
mom
a mom is a person to hug and cry in to
a mom is a person that you feel loved by.

and all of these years, a mother figure was standing tall,
          but immersed in the shadows was a *mom
O.K
I couldn't love either one any more than I do.

cold toes
Olivia A Keaton Jul 2017
Despite being under a blanket,
and having a previously forgotten laptop
just sitting and warming my lap,
and feeling ever so warm on the inside,
my toes still forget all of the warmness
around and inside me
and they remain cold.

tumbled
Olivia A Keaton Jul 2017
I think I think too much

too much thought about love.

I've never been in love,
you know, the head over heels they
all talk about. no.

why be head over heels for someone,
if you don't even like to be tumbled?

slightly breathtaking
Olivia A Keaton Jul 2017
the sun will set
and the skies always manage
to steal my breath.


of course if I had my way,
I'd take your heart
and make you love me.
just as I love the sky


between you and the sky,
I'm never privileged to breathe,
as you both leave me
**slightly breathless

choked
Olivia A Keaton Jul 2017
smokin' 100s "just to get a break"
well what do you do, if you
feel the love is fake?
get up and go, away from the smoke,
can't your eyes see that it's why
you choke?


while you are sleeping,
with your addicted little head,
my hobby became weeping,
while you slept in your bed.
so dont be alarmed if one day i'm gone,
because it was up to you,
you've done it all wrong.

it reflects her favorite color, full of sorrow and joy. and maybe with the light, and the deafening music, she will stay awake until dawn.

but for what?
Olivia A Keaton Jul 2017
it grows colder in a small room with a fan.
she grabs and holds on to a pillow, as if it were him. as if it were anyone, hugging her back and offering warmth and safety. the artist's lyrics charm her like a snake, and she cant escape them. her nails are chipped and her face is wet. shes still searching.

a tsunami in cali
Olivia A Keaton Jul 2017
please babe do not go
he sung over the telephone.
he was thousands of miles away
and he just wanted to let his
love know..
its almost here, im
running fast

baby do not run,
just think about our past.
the wave will catch you
anyways, so please dont stress
just allow yourself to feel
our love and God will
care for the rest.

silent, after a real 'i love you'

a storm in the ocean's wake
Olivia A Keaton Jul 2017
I finally found the truth.
I love blue eyes,
because they remind me of
the beautiful sea.

however, the storm-filled
eyes are more like home
and I find passion in them,
deep down where no one else can see.

so, it's when I found
his eyes. a perfect hurricane
filled with energy,
in the ocean's wake.

that is when
i finally saw
how beautiful
a storm at sea could be.

Olivia A Keaton Jul 2017
bought a brand new
fountain pen
with which I can not write.

           dreaming of life
            that's filled with joy
           too bad it disappears during night.


looking at a train
the wheels are turning
fast, and I've lost my will to
fight, finally, at last.



           staring at a storm
           oh with such delight
           but the thunder is
           getting louder,
           and my life is out of sight.

okay.
Olivia A Keaton Jul 2017
please don't worry about me
I guess I'm okay
I don't want to die,
and I won't hurt myself either
as I feel enough pain
to satisfy me through
my feelings.


but could you hear the
tears behind my okay?
well if not,
I felt the burn
of them 100 times
louder.

treasured moments
Olivia A Keaton Jul 2017
boy i never would have
thought i'd get this far
in any old truck
or any old car.
but that evening we went
for a nice little drive
just letting the wind blow
and letting the music thrive.
singing along, matching pitch
with some doubts
playing our air guitars,
letting our hearts out.
no air condition
was perfectly ok
because the sun was
perfectly sunny that day.
a perfect little memory
coming in to view
a wonderful evening
and i shared it with you.
O.K
thanks dad <3

shut up

i love you
love scares me.
maybe im crazy.
maybe its crazy

enough to listen
to my heart as it
tells me my feelings
for you.
O.K
Olivia A Keaton Jul 2017
as i look up into the sky
i think about many things
besides the overwhelming
beauty of the stars above.
i think about how
comfortable the cooled
grass is beneath me.
i think about the sunrise
that will come soon enough.
i think about how warm i
feel even though im chilled
by the night.
but as i drift away with the
stars at the suns awakening,
i allow my mind to wander
farther and thoughts of you
fill my dreams.
O.K
dreams are such beautiful things, arent they?

pretties
Olivia A Keaton Jun 2017
all of this is messy.
be truthful,
there's something that you thought of.
I'm thinking of our ridiculous
standards.
why can't we judge people for their hearts
instead of the scars?
why can't we see the soul
instead of their body?
why can't we see the mind and thoughts
instead of the face?
they all judge the hurt,
instead of the pretties.
O.K
it really bothers me that people get judged by their outside layer, why aren't we all viewed by what lies inside?

but they're stronger than me.

right now it feels like we're flying,
so high that our feet can't reach the ground

why do I dream,
when I know my heart will crack at the seams?

Happy Father's Day, Dad
Olivia A Keaton Jun 2017
Believe me when I say that
I love you
because boy it sure is the truth.
I love how one look
in my eyes allows you
to read my emotions and make me feel better.
I love how your
sighs and shrugs make me laugh
as we walk through a too
crowded store.
I love that even when our time
with each other is over,
I hold on to every second
of our hug, as I feel you do the same.
I love how you get me
every word, look, or laugh
we share a heart and a mind
and I love you for that.
O.K
I know no one that is even close to comparing to my dad and I love him so much. I'm glad to say that no one knows me better.

a poem that makes sense to me
Olivia A Keaton Jun 2017
for there are many stars that dot the sky
and there are many tears fallen from your eyes
among these stars, surely one wish of mine
will come true, so here's a few wishes for you.
*i wish that you could see
what a beautiful person you are to me.
i wish that i could be there some how
to hold you and help calm you down.
i wish that you could have a break
a vacation from this big headache.
i wish that i had never lied before
then maybe you wouldn't be crying in the floor.
i wish you wouldn't apologize, i am your friend
and even if you push me away,
i will stick with you until the end.
