Why
At this moment
It's 10:44 pm
And tears are falling
And I want my mom
I want her hug
I want her advice
I need her at this moment
Why did I have to loose her?
Why me?
I am searching through the ghastly depths below the seas,
Where the sunlight still shines through the waters.
I find an interesting village...A haven for creatures in this
Dead, lifeless ocean floor.
I did not know so much life teemed through this rock.
Intricate sea creatures swim through the teeming corals
like red liquid flows through narrow blood vessels.
Each with a purpose, each with a task.
One species benefits the other, and vice versa.
The sea cannot live without one, and one cannot live without the other.

This makes me question the point of me being the world.
Am I something of importance,
Or a seemingly dangerous virus?
Really, I cannot tell who I shall be,
Until I live out the rest of my life, and find out,
Who I really am, and the person that will grieve for me the most when I'm gone.
I seriously did not give this poem much thought. Kinda just went with the flow here, no pun intended.
BRAVE OR STUPID?

The window cruised by.
Flew by in a flash,
passed her eye.
She was so lucky, that it didn't smash,
She was so attached to him,
as he grabbed on tight to her hair.

She believed he really cared.
That's what she said after I rescued her.

A gang of jellied children,
looked on in disbelief,
watching the demonic gentleman,
Gentleman? I beg to differ,
giving the lady bags of grief.

I wandered down the holy road,
the one that led down to the church,
I wasn't going there,
not my direction,
was going to the local shop,
seeing this,
I had to stop.

I didn't want the children to bear witness to this scene.
That would have been so mean.
Maybe to trigger their nightmares for many days to come,

So Olivia,
yes that's me,
Grabbed the lady,
who may or may not have been a real lady,
definitely a person still.
I took her by the the hand,
I marched her off,
we left him shunned and stunned,
The two of us we walked away in confidence,
the demon beat.
My good deed for the day.

On reflection.
Was I brave that day,
or was I really stupid?
(c) Olivia
Inspired after reading John Mc Cullaghs' poem.
This is a true story...it was me and I really don't know why the hell I did it, but the aggressor was totally stunned and I was very lucky... I can be a little impulsive at times x
 Aug 2014 The Unbeliever
Hollow
Only the open sky
Could take my wings
Mold them into essences of purity

I was forged within
Rapid rivers of forsaken modesty
Left alone and sore below
Because my insecurities undressed me
And bedded me savagely
Before the watchful eye of the moon
The minds glowing aphrodisiac

As feathered hate falls from blackened flight
A finger is raised in denial of sunlight
A symbol of woebegone sensuality

psyche
The wind blew down
On the entire place it held.
Leaves fell down from branches
It’s autumn; an ending again.

The season hath changed
For reasons we’ve seen.
But a farewell waves
I’m scared again to give a peek.

Years ago we held our hands
This tree of strength, it witnessed all.
We took an ought; a promise of innocence
With our young hearts, we thought it all.

‘Twas all been done; the season had ended.
Yeah, we’ve now in different roads.
But under the same sky we stand
With hearts unwanting to look behind.

‘Twas all been gone; the last leaf had fallen
A new will sprout; a beginning again.
Life is a cycle; it ends and starts.
But love for me won’t dare; for ‘twas never been round.
#love #pain #farewell

Jack
Chock full of empty
Leaning on a friend
Whispering a secret
Looking for the mend

Caught up in your secrets
Releasing all your lies
You'll know the mend is near
When you feel it in her sighs

Then tell me why this feeling
Keeps storming in my mind
Telling me to take a hike
Find somewhere else to climb

Just send a little whisper
To the woman down below
Sit and wait patiently, old man
As you wait for love's echo.

Okay, well here goes nothing
I'm calling out her name
I really hope she hears it
If not I'll shout again

Dear man, why are you shouting?
There's no one there to hear
Hurry quick and catch the ship
Before it leaves the pier.

But I forgot my passport
I left it in the drawer
Where I keep all the love notes
I wrote to her before

I see the ship has sailed
Already you're too late
I find you rather fetching
Perhaps I might be your date.

What took so long, I wonder
Sweet beauty that I see
You're just what I've been waiting for
The perfect one for me
My sweet friend Ana Sophia and I were just having a little poetic fun on a Friday afternoon.
