ANALYSIS
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
Don't analyse me,
nor criticise me.
What you to see is what you get.
It matters not a jot to me how much you try to extricate.
I love the fact the world is trying,
*******, it's great.
I analyse myself regularly.
For once in a lifetime,
I actually know me.

The dark poet has a softer side,
It's hiding.
There it will stay,
it's really not playing today.
Sometimes it hides away.
Every so often, a visible ****** of a mischievous child at play.
Once in a blue moon a poetic stroppy mare, will kick up her heels and run through the sand pit,
Kicking at dust, and twirling her hair.
it's too short to be a mane at the moment,
But it sure as hell will grow again,
And I'll go dancing in the rain.
With or without my pen!

Olivia Kent Oct 2014
A head full up with lack of sleep and candy tufts.
Gardens looking rather green,
I'm not far off.
The rain it gave the grass a bath.
Passages of crystal twisted sugar and just a tiny bit of spice,
Dashing,darting electrically,
Vague spark today,
Not  even enough to satisfy the remote control on my smiling faced T.V.
My brain is empty, it's not nice.
At a loss for words this morn.
I'm still trying to pen sweet pretty precious words of love,
but I can't.
Words muddled in my head, brains not working.
Saturdays here.
I'm already
halfway dead.

COFFEE
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
Made me a coffee,
Forgot to boil the kettle first.
It was really rather cold,
Indicating that I must be getting old.
The microwave charmed me,
as it warmed up my mug,
Ah yummy,
Tepid nuclear coffee,
In the early afternoon.

STIFLED
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
I met me a dark poet,
He fires my inspiration.
I'd love him to hold me tight,
But never in a stranglehold.
He can buy me flowers,
Bunches of black roses,
If he so wishes.
He may lay them on my path,
He can even give me kisses,
if he feels he really must.
He can pen dark poems for me,
and dutifully I shall respond.
He is my sequential secret,
Even a secret from him and me.
He doesn't know and neither do I.
If,
a great big if,
By any chance
love stumbles my way,
Be sure that I will be inspired
The poet rolls on the floor in fits...announces to all her readers that I will write love from the whole of my heart, if I find it.
Proud to say this love poem is ****!

ORIGAMI
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
A waste paper bin
Left in the corner.
Containing little folded up letters,
Discarded as the heart was.

A gang of  stupid teenage vandals having a laugh,
Disregarded what they had done.
Disposed of the butts irresponsible after having  their smokes,
In the bin.
Not doused.
The silly lads.
Wandered away.
They did not see the smouldering,
the burning in that bin
The origami scraps,
Folded as swans,
Too charred to fly away.
Sadly written on the innards of the origami swans,
Words carried on love letters never to be seen again.
Their love was carried away on a puff of white smoke.

I FEEL
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
I feel sorry.
Sorry for sinners,
without any hope.
I feel sorry,
Sorry for the flowers,
Stuck sitting in the ground,
through the pouring wind and rain..
I feel love,
the ability to love.
I feel war,
and I hate it.
Abhor it in fact.
I feel truth and I trust it.
Where I felt the cloak of darkness,
The Velcro's pulled apart,
It's slipping from my shoulders,
The lady has a filling heart,
Since she met you.

Starry skies

Instead of the rising sun,
So the foliage fell,
With the descendant of mist and balance,
into the solar signs and stars,
With the balance of Libra,
As the weather evicts the virgins' sunny smile..
And then will come the winters wind at the end of the scorpion's stinging tail.

DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
Beautiful roses,
They should be left 'pon the end of shrubs,
Bright red roses in cheap plastic  tubs.
Blessing the garden with living love.
The gardens ablaze,
a rainbow of colours alive.
The leaves on the roses are shiny and brown,
With hints of golden pleasure parks.
Rustic smiles of roses,
as they're bathing in the autumn sun.
The petals have fallen but still the naked plants bask.
The wine kisses with amnesia.
Let once was love be forgot.

LETTERS IN THE SAND
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
I wanted to write my name in the sand outside your door,
It wasn't far from the beach.
So I wandered down,
just to remind you that I exist,
but, as I wrote on the dry grit,
the wind had the audacity to blow.
I found it rather annoying.
Then the tide cruised the beach,
maybe I meant cursed it.
I knelt down in the remnants of the foam,
stick in hand,
Tried to write it again.
It wasn't happening.
Browbeat, I walked over the rocks,
on to the promenade,
to buy a sickly stick of rock,
maybe a bag of sweets.

SCARLET WOMAN
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
I'm scarlet.
With a dusting of insipid pink.
My hair is sunlight yellow.
My eyes are sometimes green,
Sometimes they're blue.
Depends on my mood.
My lips are rosy,
Cherry red.
My body,well it's slightly navy,
Something to do with living regimentally.
I'm quite pale,
As I very rarely eat.
I live in the cupboard under the stairs,
You know what?
Either nobody knows,
Or nobody cares.

ODE TO WORK
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
I think I want to be in love again.
Once again to wear latex free gloves.
And my reason is.
Bearing in mind, that I'm not in the least bit *****.
i'm bored,sitting around daily writing pails of poetry,
I won't say buckets,
it's a word that everyone uses,
thought I abuse the English lingo,
a touch,
However I don't need to wear latex free gloves to touch upon the English language.
As somewhere between life and death,
I'm dying of boredom that it is,
I live my life in clinical gloves,
I'm pining for them,
I miss my job,
My head's done in,
I'm getting so bored,
it's coating my skin.
Bring on next week when I start my job...
hopefully.

CONCH
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
CONCH
I walked into the gift shop,
Down beside the sea,
There I found a conch shell,
That conch shell set me free.
It opened up the window of the memories held inside,
Memories of days gone by,
Been lodging far inside,
Hidden in quiet corners on the back roads of my mind.
The lure of the sunshine, the sand and the sea,
picked me up and set me free.
Towards the shore I slowly walked.
As the nearer I got,
the more that I could breathe,
I could smell it and feel it.

It's too cold to paddle, no wading today,
I wonder if in winter time,
Do those tiny sand eels play.
Most of those gift shops are closed it's out of the season,
Must have been drawn there for a reason.

BAD LANGUAGE
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
You are laid in my arms.
You charm me as a snake does.
You kiss my lips,
My life with you is pure bliss.
I'm laying in the arms of heaven,
Chaste, but not pure.
You purr at me from a perfect distance.
Pray baby,
let us fly,
Let us cruise the purplish skies.
The clouds are black,
Now there's no turning back.
The corkscrew turns,
A pressure release.
This tormenting tiger,
Can be a loving lion.
So lets ****,
Let's **** each other up,
To the rhythm of the dark.

LYCH GATE WORDS
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
If it had eyes and was able to speak,
I wonder what churchyard gate would ever repeat.
The rook jumping from memory to memory.
The bride is dressed in ****** white,
Well maybe,
Her husband seen passing before all suited and booted.
That rook senses his anxiety,
When he's leaving the church will he still be free?
Probably not.
Doesn't often happen that way.
The bridesmaids all clamour,
They're part of the glamour.
Escorting the maiden,
Over the threshold to married life.
Leaving together the newly united husband and wife.
That ****** rook,
A part of the photographers action,
Covering confetti all over her dress.
Her train chases her,
She's in training for a life,
The life as John Smiths wife.
A year or so, back they come,
Mr Smith,Mrs Smith and their tiny one.
Her name will be Laura,
They so adore her.
She is entered into the church and it's family.
A fluffy gown of pure silk,
Oh, that baby just spewed up her milk.
And the rook is watching their departure.
Landed in the christening pics.

LEATHER AND LACE
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
LEATHER AND LACE

I don't need a man anymore,
unless he fixes washers in taps.
Unless he can change a fuse and amuse me.
Perhaps.
He can keep me occupied,
That will never be denied.
My space can never be invaded,
I love my own place.
Adore my own space,
never will I step down and lose face.
I'm all dressed in leather, but wrapped up in lace.
I left silly little notes of love hidden in your room.
You found them and you giggled,
The big hard man stuck in his place.
He never realised his hard woman was made of leather and lace.

LICHEN
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
The lichen clung to the side of the rocks.
Bartered with the passing storm
Argued with the winter winds.
Picked at by the hungry birds.
Get baked by the blazing sun.
Could of course have been the Samphire.
Laying on the ledges or on cliff sides
at the edges and then I might be eaten.
More of a delicacy than me,
The only thing that touches me is the rolling lonely sea.

PRECIOUS
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
PRECIOUS
She's wearing the eye of the the tiger.
She supports the heavy weight of the world upon her finger,
Third finger left hand.
The lingering ring,
an annoying thing.
She demands nothing more or less.
It had to be a decent one,
she's really rather fussy,
she didn't want no crap.
She wanted diamonds,
Made only out of ice,
Wanted no commitment,
Dangling around her ears,
She danced around and danced some more,
Been similar for years.
Now the dust has settled down upon the sands of time,
She loves you and you alone,
as written down in rhyme.

LOVING YOU
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
I loved you in the morning and in the evening.
I loved you every night,
When you said you loved me back,
I nearly died of fright,
I picked up my tail,
Stuck it under my cloak,
Ran like the wind,
Flew away in a puff of black smoke.
But I was never a devil when I played in your head,
The last thing that I heard,
Was that you wished that I was dead.
Not from a physical point of view,
I'd invaded your head and it didn't suit you!

LOVE'S CLOTHING
Olivia Kent Oct 2014
Love wears a dress,
It's flowing,
with a pattern of flowers.
It's made of thin linen.
Feels beautiful stroking the skin.
Love has pure *******,
Capable of nurturing,
Keeping interest alive.
Sometimes love wears lingeree,
Of ebony black lace,
with scarlet ribbons attached.
Sometimes love has tassles attached,
they could be twiddled to occupy a lover who may be becoming bored.
Sometimes,
love is concealed beneath the protective cloak of the very caring nurse.
However;
Love can be stubborn,
Never admitting defeat,
Sometimes a total ***.
Who loves being in love,
Even when she's dressed in all of her disguises?

FIRE IN THE POETS HEAD
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
In your eyes brews a fire.
A longing to be.
You are wanting to roar.
Are you there?
Are you lost in a warehouse of spies?
You are empty?
Or are you?
Who believes in you and your heartaches  and heartbreaks?
Who postures in gestures?
Who wants to hold and caress?
Misinterpretation of death,
Guess who?

THE GRAVEYARD
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
Playing silence in the tombs, the catacombs in the yard of death.
The yard where children dare not play.
Do you think they're frightened.
Maybe not enlightened.
For they don't understand  that the peaceful sleep at the other side of the tracks.
The train flashed by,
Electrical storm
The rook perched on the stone angel,
Her role, death's scavenger,
She's not out to ****.
Just seen the carcass of the beige rabbit,
The one curled up, seemingly sleeping,
In the midst of the grass,unattended.
Sleeping it was not,
it died wild in the surburban cemetery.
And so the rook swooped.

BONKERS FAMILY
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
BONKERS FAMILY
I think the world is going bonkers today,
Eating two tubs of tiramisu for lunch,
Blow the savoury brunch.
Chased them down with two doughnuts,
And half a bucket of tea.
Women's roles just aren't what they used to be.
Never cooks,
prepares no food,
Cooks nothing to feed her hungry brood.
Daddies at home looking after the kids.
I think the world is going bonkers today.
When the gender divide remains undecided.
When the lovely lady in your life,
The one you once called your wonderful wife.
Disappears down the local to play snooker with her mates.
Every Sunday regular dates.
Always faithful,always true.
While you the dutiful husband is knocking out Sunday lunch.
The children are positioned very quietly ,sitting in front of the latest widescreen TV.
The only babysitting service, that's virtually free.
So, I think the world is definitely going bonkers today.
Mum smiles sweetly,
As she pulls on her boots,
She's off out to play.
Again.

Olivia Kent Sep 2014
You are a black  fluffy kitten.
You were my very familiar.
Magical moments spent together.
Hubble bubble,
got no beef,
I carry no trouble.
Never here to chuck you grief.
I know I will see you again,
When the sun burns out,
I'll see you once more,
Can hear when you shout,
when trouble piles up around your ears,
I'm really cool at wiping tears.
You know that anyway.
Once again, I'll see on the dark side of the moon.
Where I can feed you poetry from a silver teaspoon,
Shared,when at least we'll realise that ones' another cared.
Where we can share,
drink coffee from life's loving cup,
Well you can have whiskey in yours,
You think that's nicer than me,
Ha ha,
Lay down,
Relax,
Retract your pretence of showing your claws.
You are not a fluffy kitten and I am not a witch.
I'm Just a poet and a flying super *****.
Haven't got a besom,
As nobody wants one.
They're rather out of date.
Wholly over-rated.
But my bosoms aren't too bad,
I smile and wink,
That made you think,
I said you were my inspiration.
And you,
You are,
You're just another crazy poet,
At least you're still my mate.

After our chat last night.
Dedicated to Christos Andreas Kourtis
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
Today I was thinking of Berlin
I'm back in black in heart and hat.
Funeral dirges pall my beat,
Beneath my tuneless sullen feet.
From the hole in the ground, where my spirit's interred, I crawl out.
An emotional wreck,
Plain crashed.
Black shoes and thoughts of ghouls,
Called them teachers, today in our schools.
Schools for scandalous bullies and vandals.
The crooks of tomorrow, bred on ineffectual rules.
Fed on a substance far worse than gruel.
Dictation of fools.
After school,those days are gone,
The ******'s all dressed in black fire on violence from their toxic pens.
Me and thee and you and I, a gang faking evil.
An underground culture of it's own.
Deep in worlds of darkest words.
Back in black,
Feeling.
Good.
It's great to be weird,
Henceforth I grin through broken teeth,
This sweet poet's back in black.

GENES

It's all in the genes you know what they say.
If the genes are right you may be bright.
You may have eyes of ocean blue.
Very deep, or maybe serene.
Maybe your hair will be raven black,
Or maybe even streaked with ginger.
You maybe a right whinger,
all moany and groany.
You might have ears fitting for the cup of the world.
Your stature maybe six feet four,
A brick outhouse
Or  maybe a mouse,
With neat little teeth,
In a jawline that's fine,
Like a porcelain doll.
With perfect cheekbones,
A spot of rouge dotted on mischievous mums,
Whose jeans fit perfectly over their bums

SEASHELL
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
She sat on the shore line with a shell to her ear.
Wanting the sound of the sea to reveal,
if her sweetheart were anywhere near.
Sadly, as she clutched it so close to that ear.
She feared never would she see him again,
after his trip to Port au Spain.
Her pain,
it so fiercely burned into her side .
As she somehow realised,
that his love was maybe denied.

And she cried until the setting sun ,
fell from the sky.
When all was  said and done.
Walked and walked til she was gone.
The sun did set,  
he and her henceforth met.
Over the foam, they did roam,
The fisherman and his lost lover

THE GOOD WIFE
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
A suspicious lump appeared in the pit of his tummy.
His woman, a professional in training noticed it,
She was also a mummy,
But not his.
A little education, a spot of worthwhile interest told her something wasn't right.
Sent him to see the medical man after a somewhat worrying night.
The doctor had a serious face as he forged forward with his diagnosis.
Orchids are such beautiful flowers,
He had to have his flower stole.
Had an orchidectomy.
Poor soul,
This chap, he had testicular CA.
Almost stole his manhood away.
Gave him a prosthesis, made of plastic.
Like a weird egg.
Pretty unpleasant, necessarily drastic.
The woman, the professional walked out of his life,
She saved his life, but was never his wife.
Now he's absolutely fine,
Alive and well,
After chemotherapy,
and a little bit of time,
No longer mine.
Inspired by Silent Screams poem LUMP about his mothers breast cancer.
True story, thank you for the inspiration Silent **
I hope she recovers **

POTATOES
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
Those spuds were all dug up,
using a fork of tempered steel,
The potatoes with all seeing eyes,
Met harvest with a fleeting glimpse.
Popped neatly in a washing up bowl.
Given a wholesome freshening shower.
Into a cooker where the pressure built so.
In their hearts they softened you know.
The bubbling water, it did go.
Pressure off with the flick of a switch,
The cook she stabbed them,
The *******.
Relieved the rather hot sensation,
Through the colander they went dry and amazing.
Drizzled them with just a trickle of milk,
Added a touch of butter and pepper.
Now with the seasoning all complete,
Mashed to bits.
Let's all eat.
Dinners up,
Sweet!

APPLICATION FORM
Once I was in love.
I loved love.
Wanted to serve it.
Loved it when it functioned good.
Then it fell apart.
My heart is merely cardiac.

If you heat it slowly,
Give it a gentle simmer
Somewhere in the future,
may dwell a subtle glimmer.

If I look in the mirror,
I see no future love,
The mirror may be my security.
Can only visualise it,
from own imperfect point of view.

I am not a pessimist,
my glass, always half full.
Looking at the situation, as I stand,
I am nobodies loving fool.
On top of that I'm lonely,
but, I stash that as my secret,
I'm such a stubborn ****** ***.
A ****** *** all full of class.

I'm just a very loving,
poetry writing pest.

DEAR DEATH
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
What will it be like to be dead?
Brown bread.
Will I know it's happened?
Maybe,
Possibly,
I'll come across old friends.
Will I perhaps step straight onto a plain of emerald grass?
Festooned with flowers,
With one single solitary tree,
Standing there lonely,
lonely, but free.
Maybe standing tall and ancient.
Older than the distant trees seemingly endlessly to decorate the horizon.
Will they maybe strung out along a lonely avenue?
Might they happen to be strung with bright and ever blazing Christmas lights.
Will there be April showers?
To keep the flowers alive.

Or maybe,
A terrifying thought.
I could wake up in a room without a view.
Or even the very worse thing,
That could ever happen,
coming face to face again with you.
I wonder!

SAD ANGEL
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
He was an angel,
An angel of war,
She a tender angel of mercy,
She dared to care
How dare she care.
He folded his bloodied wings and cried.
He shredded his banners,
He smashed his silvery sword,
Exchanged  it for a dagger.
He rammed it deep into her heart.
She cried an ocean of tears,
for the love that could not be.
She played her love upon a pen,
She called it poetry.

METAMORPHOSIS
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
I want the grass to continue to creep between the toes of the youth,
The youth who step forth into a brighter tomorrow.
To awaken the youth who continue to sleep,
While storing their secrets
While they're standing on quicksand.
They're holding so tight to the good and the right.
Larva for tomorrow,
They, who are making their choices and singing their noises.
As they step into the big blurry yonder,
they sit and they wonder.
They're pondering over topics,
such as the meaning of life,
They're looking for a reason to keep on living the life they were given.
They're loving, they're dreaming of life, and its meaning.
The insignificance of youth,
Some maybe uncouth,
At this moment in time,
Their future is theirs,
Once it was mine.

THE BRIDES BIG DAY.
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
The idea of marriage was such a curse,
the bride and groom turned up in a hearse.
Sat on the back seat clutching a bouquet of stunning black roses.
the gorgeous bridesmaids sat scratching their noses.
The bridesmaids sat in the bridal car,
worked out cheaper that way by far.
The groom wore a white suit,
it made him look cool,
The bride dressed in black,
she broke all of the rules.
He stuck his ring upon her finger,
it didn't fit too well,
The poor beautiful bride,
She had piled on buckets of weight,
her finger swelled,
so on this her special day,
she really didn't look great.

LOOK
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
Stop where you are,
Stop where you're stood.
A spot of food for thought,
It lurks inside that tatty book,
the one you just bought.

My friends,
I implore that,
you take a look inside that book.
It's a precious commodity,
almost company.
It maybe tissue paper thin,
but inside the cover of such a book.
hides a being,
a soul,
a heart,
a feeling and a friend.

A sympathy an empathy an understanding eye for sure.
You know that should that precious book be written in braille,
the reader,
the blind man,
can feel the writer falling off the rails.

An anthology of verse when the writer felt terse,
A writer of fashion or passion,
Which the writer may have cried over as they wrote.
As their tears became embroiled,
within the fabric of the tissue paper page.

The pen acted as a tissue,
to wipe away the rage.
The anger swallowed as sorrow,
swallowed by the reader,
Pray be, henceforth exorcised.
Guaranteed for sure,
You'll find the author's heart,
it's hiding deep within,
Now and forever more.

CHANGING WARS
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
This world has been caught up,
a mess of bangs and knives,
and missing wives,
they're stuck on bombs,
and rocket blasts.
Destroying celestial palaces,
and family homes alike.
Wrecking familial courtyards,
before the setting sun
A mismatched assortment of wild men,
who have no spears,
nets or tridents,
They are not gladiators,
they passed away in ancient Rome,
Now fighters, troll the deserts, creating chaos as they go.
While the preaching politicians,
aiming their thumbs firmly downwards.
I really doubt,
that they would put them selves,
into the fields and desert wars,
Abhor the thought,
adore the power.
Most of them are cowards,
They're currently drowning in custard,
of the cowardly, cowardly kinds.
While coating their roast beef with mustard,
And going out of their minds

SHARING SHARDS
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
The cloud's were hanging all about my very, very tiny ears.
The ears they were not listening,
Because, they did not wish to hear.
I never heard you shout to me.
MY shiny eyes were peeled,
to see what was going on.
But in a moment of complexity,
They never noticed you.

You were standing in the shadows,
in the back roads of my mind.
I spoke to you, you made me feel.
The shadow in the background hangs intrinsically very real.
Intriguing conversations,
They opened up a can of worms.
Of your lost love,
The bringer to your heart,
only buckets full of standing sorrow,
You made me think,
I couldn't sleep,
for your lost love,
I wish to weep.
Secrets freed, once lost set free,
Cherish the honesty of me.
I'm free of my burden,
the one that I could not see.
Well I think I maybe anyway,
Maybe I shall ever be.
Come forth the man of mystery.
Let us write together thee and me.

BEING ME
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
Power lives within my once tepid heart.
I believe that destiny is thine.
Defined as yours,
defined as mine,
I was born,
once a tabula rasa,
and now my being's spread,
based upon the teachings,
of things once seen and read.
I cherish precious moments,
as preciously I stand alone.
I have no demands be met,
nor reprimands to make,
but,
I so love flowers and Sunday cream teas.
Paddling on beaches,
as nature teaches,
to worship the land,
laid bare on the sand,
Win my heart,
with poetic verse,
with eiderdowns and ****** smiles,
I'll Smile back,
I rarely frown.

Thought I needed to be a little more cheery today, x

THE REAL DARK POET?
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
The princess isn't really dark.
The light bulb it exploded.
Left  the poetic princess ,
with nothing but a spark.
The princess, she loves nature,
Flowers and fresh air,
Somehow that sister's twisted when she doesn't need to be.
Ahead the road is widening as she's heading to the light.
Walking slowly in autumn,
Seeking fresh daylight.
As the autumn brings with it winter chills,
The setting sun will fall,
From winter hanging icicles,
New snowdrops peep through the chilly crunchy grass.
The heart no longer breaking as crystal shining glass.
Perpetual changing moments, she is a jewel in one mans crown.
Her beauty sparkles wholly a fizz of lemonade.
With kisses soft as summer fudge,
Strawberry cheesecake and custard ****,
Remember when you next see her,
This pretty lady has a heart.

A SECOND TAKE ON LOVE
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
You sat her on a pedestal beside a grand piano.
You held her heart upon a string,
were united together by a golden balloon,
which acted as a yo-yo ,
flying high above the moon,
starry skies and butterflies,
Just so you could touch her,
like no other ever could,
and she said ,
Only you,
would she ever touch again,
Be at one with,
never again,
Her eyes are stained as glass tear drops fall,
Fed by sorrow's pain.
You are the cherub,
the innocent,
and her,
She's the beautiful demon inside,
who plays on your head,
tying strings of regret.
And around your throat they're choking you,
Exorcism of tears,
Then you know the demon won.

HEAVEN
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
Touching heaven on the vibration of a storm.
Feeling fire in the afterglow,
Explosion of a ****** atom bomb,
We breathe slowly and deeply as our bodies unfurl,
Relaxing from the hyper restriction of the ****** curl.
The water washes away the magical moments,
as together we stand in the relieving shower,
We are imagining it's a huge waterfall in the rain forest.
All we can hear is the powerful crescendo of the hell fired water,
filled not with demons spit, but awesome purity,
the pure moments of sharing shaking moments,
gradually unwinding,
drying each others sensation spots,
Hand in hand, we creep almost breathless,
Back to bed, to hold our security,
Sharing sensual moments, prior to sleep,
We kiss, and spoon, and look to the moon for spiritual intervention,
A love poem, a wish and a total invention.

HALFWAY TO SUNDAY
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
A Sunday is a dozy day,
Where teenage beds are filled,
lie ins til lunchtime again,
they'll tell you it's a day of rest,
Then they'll hop out of bed screaming for tea,
or maybe coffee if they're more like me.

Unless of course, the reader here is getting prepped to praise the Lord.
Sunday,
Maybe,
a day for all the good folk,
to relax in their own Gethsemane,
pulling up weeds, or planting seeds,
Repairing seasonal life,
just spent or sowing more,
true and anew,
Hoeing and furrowing,
All out for growing

There are no olive groves,
running through the gardens,
of the English lords and ladies,
It's much too cold at this time of year.
Nobody's spreading gospels,
nor penning epistles in the average British gardens.
The only words spoken are spread only by birds,
In a language, not understood by many.
While the mother of nature,
she strips the trees bare.
Oh well, another Sunday en route,
half a week to go and I just couldn't care.

Sorry guys, I'm bored witless, off work for 4 weeks, so far !

TRUST
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
Trust is such a fragile thing.
Rather like a spiders web.
Sticky, mainly in the mornings.
Often wet with misplaced tears.
Trust is the spider,
Although not a widow,
it's darting round,
annoying the breathing, bleeding insecurity.
Loss of trust can be a spider bite.
Poisonous.
Laced with hemlock for a slowly suffocating death.
Remember the old adage,
if you love another soul,
pray let them fly free,
If they return.
May no more words be uttered,
For surely it is meant to be.

TABLE DANCING
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
TABLE DANCING

The family were sat at the table.
Dinner was served.
They picked up their knives,
they were coated with honey.
Picked up their peas,
Flicked them over the trees.
It was alfresco,
And they sat in the sun.
Naturally having bundles of fun.

The wasps invaded the honey clad knives,
Drove the men crazy,
as well as their wives.
Piles of sarnies, gracing the table,
With lettuce, tomatoes, and thin sliced cucumber.
Complete with slices of fresh cream cake.
Thought they'd try dancing,
"Bring on Swan Lake".

They all wriggled and jiggled upon the green grass,
the ballet got boring,
so they changed the beat,
now they're doing the rumba instead.
It wasn't the dance they hoped it would be.
So it turned into romance under the tree.

They sent the youngsters off to the shop,
so the time was theirs to bunny hop.

STYLISH
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
Elegant,wrapped up in stolen garb,
Naked mink and ermine,
Cower coldly in the gutter,
Undressed.
The rich *****, bedecked with jewels and pearls.
Stolen from the littlest girls.
Bracelet,a creation from reptilian teeth,
Neath her coat,
A chill, heart resides,

The tiger in front of the fire,
Once he was real and she was a liar.
She declared a love of animals,
The ones whose heads hung on the walls.
Nouveau riche?
Nope, a super *****.
She heard the scratches at the door,
Alas alack, she was no more.
Haw haw.

ESCAPISM
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
"They said to the lame man,
Pick up thy bed and walk,
They said to a subject with mental ills,
sort your head out,
pull yourself together,
if you will.

You are not a pair of threadbare curtains,
of that I'm certain,
You are a person.
So,the sorry being picked up a pen,
a perfect catharsis,
a mechanism of honest escape.

Some folk,
well,
they sink into a bottle to drown the pain within,
Others shoot a mainline,
maybe sit upon a train line.
So where should they begin?
None of the three above,

Used a pen,as a trumpeting swan,
Mental illness, pray begone."

Not directly about me x I just find poem writing and reading a relaxing pursuit and as most of you know I love darker writing!

SOLACE
Olivia Kent Sep 2014
The woman,
pale faced,
with hanging hair,
Drifting through the atmosphere,
Her face an image of flowing tears,
And she rose affront the window pane.
Wailing, as if a banshee screaming in the rain.
Tap tap,scratch scratch, rustle, rustle.
He was no Heathcliffe,nor her his Cathy.
She called him with her heartfelt wails,
two spirits henceforth,
loving souls,
captured in the ethereal glow.
Some strange place,
they're stuck,neither here,
Neither there.
Hither and thither,
they're still hanging there.
Nightly wishing ,
Wanting each other for all eternity.
Floating in the midnight air,
Spirits seeking solitary solace in each others arms.
Once a year upon the moment midnight chimes.
They hold each other closely upon the tenth of June,
Dancing in the eye of summer's midnight moon.
When after the long night,
Daylight comes,
She sweeps them off their feet,
she kisses them gently, before she sends them back to sleep, again.
