THE XMAS STORY
Olivia Kent Nov 2016
A guitar case with no music in, owned by
the old woman who can't sing.
He sweeps the comb through her straggly hair,
What no money and nobody cares.
He wipes the burning tears from her pretty eyes.
Listens to her worried sighs.
She's concerned about a lack of dosh.
Christmas is coming, oh golly gosh.
He, is the fellow with the overgrown belly and the beard of white,
Waiting for Christmas eve.
Bring on that night.
His name by now you must be aware is really Santa Claus,
This year he's really scared.
With no toys for his haversack.
Due to lack of funds.

A sleigh in need of service.
Reindeer nibbling rotten carrots.
**** Horrible.
And the sprouts are full of wind.
His workshop staff redundant,
More silent, than a winter's night upon a turkey farm.

Outside,the local families gather beneath last year's yule .
This year, everybody's skint
Lit the bonfire with stones of flint.
Perfect purpose,
Free fuel.
Carols echo noisily outside the house next door.
"Disappear" she said in a very loud voice.
Wait a few weeks before you rejoice.
It's way too early,
"Go", she said.
"Please, please, I beg of you no more.
As yet, at least.
It's much too soon.
Wait until December, to have a cheery feast.
I guess it's your choice."

GOODNIGHT
Olivia Kent Nov 2016
The trees fight the whistling wind, strength is their resilience.
The windows scratched by wild man who dances in my garden.
Naked fingers,
Realms of weather.
The rain is lashing all that's bare.
Tossed and turned without a care.
The cold hath teeth no man can see.
The ebony of darkest shade it keeps it's prisoners trapped inside.
Whilst in the house the sneezes freed.
Mother moon is hiding fast behind her clouds, those ones be blast.
Past midnight.
Morning lost, out of sight.
Frightful Saturday night.

FEAR
Olivia Kent Nov 2016
The war of the third world is on route.
I feel it in my broken bones.
Falling skies and writhing sand.

Come world climb from the fence.
May goals no more create sorrow.
A glowing sun, fresh water,
Tomorrow walking in,
Tail removed from tangled straps which bridle it between the legs.
Winter time and the living ain't easy.
Bombs and guns,
No war to be won.
No world to be fought for, if we're not careful.
Fearful world.
Sleep easy.

MOON's MESSAGE
Olivia Kent Nov 2016
I shall miss seeing the moon when I've died in my bed.
With a mound of cold earth on top of my head
The soil keeps me warm as my past life doth dawn.
For tonight the moon wears a beautiful silver aura,
Her face bright white on this cold night.
I shall miss seeing the moon when I'm dead in my bed.
The moon a pure lady.
Good God, I adore her.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
Olivia Kent Nov 2016
Don't **** me pleads the turkey.
I may not be pretty.
Let me still be living.
I'm not coming to tea.
Or lunch or even Christmas supper.
If I had half a chance,
All your plans I'd scupper.
If I give up gobbling.
Your special day be wobbling.
The Christmas cheer be sweet meat.
As mince pies fruity.
Bring good cheer
Custard and fresh cream.
Its just the time of year.
** ** **.
Hell lets be jolly.
Around his head a crown of holly.
Mistletoe kisses are better than none.
Christmas season's just begun.

SOPPY MARE
Olivia Kent Nov 2016
Where are you now my lover?
Thinking of you as I twiddle my hair.
You used to do that.
I wonder where you're living now.
The rainbows come the rainbows fade.
Under the shade of the oldest oak tree.
I wonder, do you still think of me?
Expect that you do
You'll never be true.
Truths kept inside.
Your air is in my heart.
You breathed me life.
But now I'm chained up,
Somewhere came along.
Straight from out of nowhere and stole the ruddy key.
Ships of dreams.
Grounded.
Somewhere there's a sandy beach.
No more love my man,
My love, you're out of reach.
Grit in my eyes.
That's my excuse!
Whirling winds.
Cut diamonds hard and sharp.
Stranded on sand dunes.
Listening to tunes.
Nothing left to do.
Never to get over you.
Perhaps I don't want to.
Maybe I should.

AGE OF AMNESIA
Olivia Kent Nov 2016
There was a time.
When a child cried.
Somewhere, in a distant memory,
Children became, but once forgot.
As, they for whom once being parents died in mind.
Old boys and old girls become wasted by life.
Once somebodies' mother, husband or wife.
Old soldiers.
Land girls.
Yesterdays heroes and heroines.
Paths climbed by time honoured sons.
Orchards laden with precious fruit,
Turning russet with increasing age.
Family's breeze onwards.
Through generation gaps.
As times always in a hurry, too much.
And after moaning and groaning,
They're talking in muddles again
Old boys and girls ,take their much needed naps.
Best times are the rest times.
Past times ,
Just precious recollections in foggy brown puddles.

THE STAGE
Olivia Kent Nov 2016
All the world's a stage.
Bare planks of balsa wood tossed upon the breeze.
The butterfly twitches wings in Bangkok,
Cruise control Manilla.
South Asia sea rolls.
Butterfly with patterned wings,
Reverts to caterpillar.
A big fat hairy one.
Toking on a fat cigar,
Driving a huge expensive car.
Turns into a juggernaut.
Too large to carry on.
In the corner truck is stuck.
The stage it's fallen now,
But how?
Enter stage left a servant of the living crown present the globe with lots of luck.
Carried in a golden casket.
A world trade deal all linked up, within a worldwide shopping basket.
He grins from ear to ear.
Being positive right now,
As he wipes away world tears.
What a dear he is.
A smiling face.
Despite the fact his stage fell down.
He still smiles without a frown.

TO ALL THE DUDES OUT THERE
Olivia Kent Nov 2016
Heaven was a summer's day.
Filled with warmth and vivid flowers.
Lovers underneath the tree.
There they were,
Just you and he.
You who serenaded her in dulcet tones.
Like never had she heard.
A voice of nightingale.
Ultimately just another bird.
A world filled up with one night stands.
Gentlemen?
She will query gentlemen,
Who just wanna hold hands.
No belief in love ever after.
The halls ring out in peals of laughter.
Before being a player.
Think long and hard,
How you would feel if that young lady was your daughter!

GUY FAWKES DISASTER
Olivia Kent Nov 2016
Oh hell,
A firework hit the moon.
That means the tides are *******.
You kissed my soul with a purple balloon.
And so you ******* the alien.
Then the sun rose on eastern shores.
Surely not!
And the planet's corrupted by phoney power play.
Checkers and draughtsman.
Children sand huntsmen.
Spiders that play games taunting lizards.
In red hot desserts, where vulture soar.
Past the moon what got hit.
The tide's inverted and the gooneys play on pebble dashed beach.
Dreams imploded.
Out of reach!

The morning made it once again
All hallows eve nothing, but a make up stain left on a costume, somewhat theatrical.
Today the autumn sun is up, praise be.
Glinting glamour on the trees.
Cobwebs tangle laundry lines.
Dream catchers,

Fairy dancer in the lilac dress.
A little bit like me, as was once.

Benevolent soul.
A skirmish in skittish, as tornado whirls.
Oh the young girls.

My time fizzles like a failing firework.
My exuberance has gone.
Hers begun.

THE ZOMBIE TEA PARTY,
Olivia Kent Oct 2016
See that zombie stood over there.
Caked in fresh blood.
It's under his hair.
Found a fella with a hole in his head.

Sad zombie fella.
Found a slice of mouldy old bread.
Used it as a soldier.
Dipped in his head.

No fun.
Newly made zombie.
He's always hungry,
Now he's dead.

Peeps at Mr Majestical's testicles.
Fancied chewing them.
Loved the juice.
Succulent as strawberries.
Raspberry sauce.
Blood of course.

Derwent fancied a bit of breast.
Loving mother told him.
Breast is always best.

Julie's just a crazy chick.
Fancied a nibble on the dead guy's ****.
Yummy, yummy.
Really sick.
Or should I say she ****** it.
As if it were a straw.
Special days of living.
Always was a *****.

The kid in the corner is popping out eyes.
Never really worked out why.
Perhaps he was thirsty.

Eleanor.

She fancied a nibble on the bladder and kidney.
Of a once fine chap.
Whose first name was Sidney.
***** tasted of peach lemonade.
Eleanor the dead chick.
Her day was made.
Got really drunk.

That Zombie's really ******.

Mum's over there.
One of them?
Or still my mum?
You know what?
I really don't care.
For the first time in my life.
I feel really scared.

Hell.
I digress.
They're chasing me now
I'm making a mess.
Run out of puff and all that stuff,

They're trying to eat me.
That's quite enough.
I'm feeling quite numb.
The dead ******* won.
Stripped all the tissue clean off my ***.

Chewed though a bit of a nerve.
Partially damaged.
You feeling the image?
Bled me near dry.
He did.
*******.
Made me cry.
For a second or two.

Lucky me.
One ate my eye.
So glad.
I won't see myself die.
With a skeletal hand.
I'm waving goodbye.

TRUFFLEUMPS DAY OUT
Olivia Kent Oct 2016
Watching the truffleumps down by the sea,
With their mommies and daddies, they're running free.
Having fun.
They love to play.
They wore swimming suits made from green string and lace.
The brightest thing on their bodies was the smile on their face.
They paddled in rock pools.
Fished for wriggly shrimps.
They put them in buckets made out of bright yellow plastic.
Those truffleump imps.
Just by the water, mom saw some bright fish.
The truffleumps went in for a swim.They put the shrimps back in their pool.
To take them home would be unkind.
The sound of the bassoon whistled out.
Telling the truffleumps, it's soon time for tea.
They picked up their towels and buckets and spades.
Home they went, drinking pink lemonade.
Past the houses.
Past the shops.
For today the truffleump day stops.
The truffleumpty trees were loaded with donuts.
So mom, dad and truffleumps got off the bus.
Baskets filled up with donuts for tea.
Heading home they go at the end of the day.

MISSING
Olivia Kent Oct 2016
In my house there is a huge black hole.
In said hole, hide a million toilet rolls and a few stray socks.
Search as high and low as I may,
the toilet rolls and socks are out to play.
The loo rolls have been eaten by a mega munch machine.
Half of all the household socks, mislaid when they are clean.
Or maybe when still grubby.
Perhaps they're dubstep socks.
With minds of their own and they just want to rock.
Maybe they're good looking socks.
Heading out to mate.
Did you ever hear such things.
Single socks out looking for a date.
They seem to just have vaporised,
before the household eyes.
Expensive business.
Loosing socks.
I need these toilet rolls.
Need to cry.
Must be off out partying together.
I really don't know why!

TRUFFLEUMPS
Olivia Kent Oct 2016
Through the Truffle Umptty trees, cute truffleumps run free.
The smallest local children come along to see, if they can glimpse the truffleumps , go swinging through the truffle trees.
The Truffleumps eat donuts.
They love them so, you see.
The man in the bakery shop.
He makes quite a few.
Some are pink and others blue.
Sometimes, he does green ones.
Other times they're red.
He serves them up with ice cream that is really, really cold.
The baker gets his bassoon out, to tell the truffleumps.
Their donut tea is done.
He hangs them on the Truffleumpty trees.
He doesn't hang them high.
As everybody knows, that truffleumps can't fly.
It's great to capture fresh donuts, as soon as they've been hung.
They're always tasty tea time treats.
Before they go to bed
Everyday at five o clock.
The Trufflelumps get down from their trees.
Waiting for the donuts, which soon will be their tea
They carry wicker baskets, to take their tea away.
Their trufflemummies watch them, as they go collect their tea.
As all good mummies know, it's not safe climbing trees, even if they're bouncing through the branches of their favourite wood.
Happily hunting donuts in the Truffle Umptty trees is really very good.

SUNDAY
Olivia Kent Sep 2016
Life belongs to Monday morning.
Still, I'm haunted by Sunday teatime.
Scones in the parlour at the back of the house.
With mamma and poppa and sweet baby Jayne.
Toasted crumpets together,and drank hot  cups of tea.
The crumpets were toasted upon a huge open fire.
Jayne had been sleeping in the cot by the door.
Too young to eat crumpets and scones, she's not allowed tea.
The baby still sleeping remains in the parlour.
It's warmer in there.
 
And so to the drawing room with round rosewood table.
Nature of the cloth thereupon changed.
It's marked with the symbols of a, b and c.
A painted on canvass that ends with a zee.
It's crimson, edged with gold.
In the centre a YES  and a NO.
Centrally placed a wine glass.
 
Knock knock on the door.
Now there are five.
Tonight the table may come alive.
They're hoping.
A standard lamp, rather dated stood in the corner.
Had a scarlet shade with golden tassels.
 
They sit round the table.
It's just what they did.
Fingers on glass.
They're calling out.
"Is anybody there?"
The room becomes chilled.
Atmosphere stifling.
Glass moves around the circle.
A...R...I....E.....L.....spellbinding.
'Twas the spirit of the dark poet,Plath.
Darkness from sorrow, no more tomorrow.
Another spirit  in attendance.
Takes Sylvia by the hand.
Into the light, escorted by guide.
Goodbye sorrowed poet.
Walked into the light.
Goodnight.
Sleep tight.

LOVING WORDS
Olivia Kent Sep 2016
Love carried on the whistling wind,
It screamed your tag initially,
Now in a wild whirling whisper when you wonder what each message spells.
Semaphore and smoke signals, carried on the winter wind as storms collide within your eyes.
Deities of chaos, went and wrote a book of words.
In shreds of insular letters written on ice, in crystal clouds.
Something like I love you.
In Sanskrit symbols, carved in old woods.
Where women run naked, who say that it's good.
And all the information thereby, carried on that whistling wind.

Ready meals and empty beds.
Playing games inside their heads.
Want to sleep, but only weep.
With secrets thus eternal keep.
They have no feelings in their eyes.
A bucketful of seeming lies.
This a stroke of sorrow.
Mournful dirge.
Contrite purge.
All of this means nothing much.
Putting my pen to work.
Had the day off and being a ****.
Relieving boredom as only I can.
Funny little woman me, not very young but totally free....x

SUMMER LOVIN'
Olivia Kent Sep 2016
What an amazing summer it's been.
Late in coming, blazing hot.
Into the bathroom and kitchen I rock, stopped in my tracks but not by a flock.
A swarm instead of big fat flies invading my space in front of my eyes.
Am I in Amityville?
Flies of biblical proportions.
Horrible annoying things.
At least those bugs don't have stings.
Saying that however the wasps are out in force of course.
Several folks with allergies this summer's flaming tragedy.

FROM A SIMPLE SAYING
Olivia Kent Sep 2016
I had one of those but the wheel fell off

I lost the tone of my wobbly piano,
I had one of those but the wheel fell off,...
I fell in a ditch because of this.
A one wheeled bike is a unicycle, and I can't ride one.
I had one of those and the wheel fell off.
I stumbled from the path,
Oh dear,


A passing Arabian from a street market nearby,
Gave me a carpet so that I could fly.
I didn't need my wheels, not one or two or three.
I flew over the houses and crossed the blue sea.
I saw a number of mighty beasts from the briny,
Several fair ships and I'm not being whiney.
It seems to me that I don't need wheels as my carpet's flying high.
Thank you Mr Market Trader.
For now I am a space invader!

She dances in shadows of Sunday as Monday creeps around.
A child of night-time's leaving as dawn comes back around.
The morning heat consumes the coffee that she takes..
She spills Monday into mind-set as Sunday night she must forget.
A kiss on his ear did break down his fear.

Until tipped and poured.
And then set free.

Then it shall play with my head.
It's lingered there since Christmas time.
Once was yours, but now is mine.
You didn't want it,
I didn't either then,
And now it's taunting me.

SHEPHERDESS
Olivia Kent Sep 2016
She's leaving on a jet plane.
But I guess that she don't know, the reason why she's going.
A guess,that it's just to show you all the silly things,
The things that you're not knowing.

Things like love and slushy kisses.
Maybe being someone's mrs.

Oh little birds with folded wings they speak of oh such pretty things.

All that glitters is not gold,
She needs to say, before getting old.

Things that matter are not much.
She's missing moments from your touch.

Life is such a self-fulfilling prophecy. Where, I want you but you don't want me.

We're just two free spirits that roll in a glass.
A glass with a crack.
And that's a fact.

Wholesome, opaque,
How ever we dare,
As long they last.
And long shall they care.

As time is precious and so they may share.
Of idiosyncratic seconds, laid both open and bare.

As she lives for the moment,
She's just having a blast.

As the shepherdess,
Tears off her beautiful dress.
Puts on her genes if you know what that means.
A sheep in wolf's clothing, her hair is a mess.

And all the sheep fall, at her funny feet,
Which smell.
Her words be spoken, that only she can tell.
She wants to shout loudly but she's feeling so weak.

Knowing that her heart really doth skip a beat,
The frank shepherdess is really so sweet.

Travelling back from all the bars.
With all the men with flying cars.
Who are living on the planet Mars.

My pint was finished.
My glass was smashed.
More so than me.
Ha ha,
No driving of his flying car,
Drink driving is not good you see.

Sipping drinks from a shiny chalice, beside the Martian sea.
There before me stood in good stead a fella seeking true love,
He found me on a cosmic dating agency.

He was a striking shade of red.
And around his head
He wore a blazing blue bandanna.

I offered him much sustenance in the form of a banana.
What I never knew was that,bananas were toxic to Martian men.
Never again!

Gave him vile flatulence.
No chance of romance, with this lovely Martian chap.
His belly went off with a dreadful bang.
Poor good looking Martian fella,
Belly ruptured.
Blood bright yellow.
Not a very pleasant sight.

My perception of religion still remains unaltered.
How much faith is shown by two women?

The river that flows,
Slowly over the stepping stones.

See how it goes.
Always in haste ,
How the river flows.
Inwardly,
Drawing the vortex.
Frothy and foamy.

Wildly,
Thrashing it goes.
In the throes of motion
Down into the cauldron, in front of the nose of the witness.
Who inhales the scent of the water?
Not given,
Only be lent.
Tumbling of water.
Lucid and free.
The cauldron of the devil
The strollers may see.

SWEEP
Olivia Kent Aug 2016
Diamonds on the pavement,

Emeralds on the grass.

Trodden under heavy feet,

Look a lot like glass.



Symbols of engagement,

Trampled under foot.

Won't need to call the chimney sweep,

Just gave him the boot.



Wearing a tatty top hat,

Whenever in attendance.

But when he's wears his sweeps trews,

his *** looks rather cute.

The dark side of romance!

FRUIT FALL
Olivia Kent Aug 2016
The blackberries be coming.
Thorny brambles being fruity.
In shades and tones of ruby red, gooseberry green and mauve,
shiny in late summer sun.
In spite of a little the summer sun, a sure fire sign that summer's done.
An odd day dons a beach umbrella, a sun hat and a deck chair.
The coming in of autumn slowly,
Provocative of cardigans and rain hats.
Here we go,
All fall down.
Anyone fancy a crumble or pie.
Spite the end of summer days.
Smack autumn in the eye.
There be bonus upon the yield be given from the hedgehog bush.

A SONG FOR YOU
Olivia Kent Aug 2016
It's a long way down from heaven
One long way to fall.
No magic to heal me
Now you're not here to feel me.
And I fell..

I'm in the concrete jungle
With dust on my shoes.
I'm stranded.
Natures calling to my left ear.
War into my right.

I'll do anything for you.
But I'm not prepared to fight.
Hell is where I find myself.
Stranded on a stony beach.

I pick them out singly.
Skim them on the tide.
Stuck here.
Living in purgatory.
I can't decide.

I'm not leaving the shore,
I can't walk away.
See you next time.
A new place maybe.
In a trendy bar.
Away from the sea.
I sip my white wine.
Then sip my red.
Baby I love you.
Get out of my head.

TRICKLES
Olivia Kent Aug 2016
Three tears and a locket.
A ball in your hand.
Fluff and flowers.
Golden chains.
Love bought swiftly without pains.
Fantastic.

NATIONS AND IMPLICATIONS
Olivia Kent Aug 2016
America oh land of the free.
What you gonna do for me.
Or your people.

Trump chucking vile insults.
And the snakes in my hair are fighting each other.
Bill and Ben just skittles in flipping power struggles.
Poor Mohammed he's viewed differently,
But in life he's just the same.

Hillary is wondering who's gonna be her husband's latest conquest.
Guess it doesn't matter much.
Just forgive and forget.
Trumps' a misogynist, a giant lump of liar.
If he gets  elected  the world  be on fire.

Oh America,
Land of the brave,
Land of the free.
What about England?
Talk bout sweet England.
You'd be having a laugh.
England merry?
Messy England.

Perhaps a giraffe could do a better job.
Head in the noisy clouds.
Cameron's list  of toffee beaks.
The larks of summer crash to earth.
Summers' gone.
Tory rebirth.
Hoping not.

England's renewal.
Vapour trail,
Teresa's rule.
Tory woman.
Nobody's fool.
Shame eh.

Oh England
Merry England.
Descending,
Going down the pan.
It's chaos.

While Putin is disputing the way the world will go.
Boom boom.
Bang bang,
Seems to believe he's Superman.
Running the race at his pace.
A trending mosquito.
Irritant
Dangerous.
Viral.

Oh hell.
Planet's just a bowling ball.
Well  well.
Blackest magic in the air,
Who cares?
Be scared.
Very afraid.

It's grey this August,
Truly madly, deeply,
A darker shade of grey.

THE CALLING
Olivia Kent Aug 2016
Called back to love.
Disown me if you need too.
Leave me not abandoned.
For you of beautiful moments.
I cannot set you free.
I can bleed for you.
Read to you.
Ride on clouds full up with rain,
Fall down once again,
I always do.
If ever I could stake my heart,
I'd switch it for your pain.

RAIN AGAIN?
Olivia Kent Aug 2016
They said it's going rain again.
A sky full up with ****** downed raindrops.
Acidic, all full up with war.
Eastern,
Western
And they're all wearing tin hats.
Their hats be beat with wooden spoons.
Complexity of situations.
Clasp hands real tight
Dreams of friendships between nations.
Regardless of religious rifts.
A cautionary tale,
From the grounded whale
She who can change nothing
Our world in need of communication.
And just a touch of soothing.
Let us drift in to a sleep,
From where tomorrow always comes.

SECRET GARDEN
Olivia Kent Jul 2016
Roses are red with sharp thorns that bite.
Violets unholy blue,
Those roses bright red are full up with spite,
Violets are pretty tho rarely speak true.
Tulips are for kissing,
Not sure what they're missing.
Lilies are scented,
They're lacing the air,
And the green grass tells tales to the trees,
cos they listen,
The speak of the chap who cuddled the girl,
but they never repeat cos they just wouldn't dare.
Beneath the rocks the fairies do dwell,
with all seeing eyes but they never tell.
The garden's full of secrets,
That's where they lie,
Everything happens there says the all seeing eye.
But the house-folk, never know why they're looking,
Perhaps they're playing I-Spy.

SO SAD
Olivia Kent Jul 2016
Heavenly father.
He never sinned.
The priest of France he was not spared.
By men so evil.
Devil spawn?
Bless you old fella, the lord in your soul,
It is no compensation that you were already old.
You held in your heart a cross of pure gold.
Once more I tell of your nation's devastation.

VISITING VISION
Olivia Kent Jul 2016
The clouds to the left are etched 3D,
Black in front of fluffy white with crispy edges,
Just in sight.
They're high, and mighty.
Holding noise with spirits rife.
Courts of clouds respecting raindrops.
Hovering as giant birds.
It's raining now.
The only way to beat this heat,
Stifling,
Choking.
Thank heavens.

SILLY MILKSHAKE
Olivia Kent Jul 2016
Can somebody please explain,
Why a lovely ice cold thick shake,
In a cup marked  large is gone,
Gone much too quickly,
Exquisitely delicious,
Trying to stay fresh and cool.
A rapidly empty cup,
Leaves me feeling a thirsty fool.
I hereby declare that I truly need another one.
To keep me feeling jolly cool,
while in the midday sun.

Love remains asymptomatic until it fails and falls. Before her face love be revealed until such time as such doth call.
Falling in love and indirect approaches, catch stars that burn on darkest nights, love and lust, truth and touch shall put the world to rights. Should the symptoms of dying love be treated thus and thine set free, Gave up on love, tis only thee.
