My Heart Burns

Posted on 07. Feb, 2010 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

My Heart Burns

My knees wobble
my feet are glued
my stomach turns
my heart burns
my head runs, miles per second
and I’m undo
because you rang.
Something extremely short, but sweet I hope?

120MPH

120MPH

Racing down this road
at 120mph
we’re speeding through time,
faces blur, words slur
forgotten days, forgotten weeks;
we’re speeding through time
at 120mph
I hope we don’t get caught
by the blue flashing light;
we’re speeding through time
at 120mph
just you and I in the front seat
touching now and then;
we’re speeding, we’re flying
we’re defying the rules,
until you throw this car
into full reverse;
we’re back, back [...]

The Monster

Posted on 03. Feb, 2010 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

It creeps out of dark corners
it slithers into view
it crawls into my head
it slides beneath my radar–
this monster, it coaxes me
it unravels me, entices me–
you are the monster,
you are the creeper,
slithering, crawling,
unraveling, enticing–
you are the burning in my body,
you are the monster in my head,
you are the taunting in my bed–
you are the monster
who taunts [...]

A Soldier

Posted on 03. Feb, 2010 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

I feel alone, small and fragile,
my red hot salty tears drip,
drip, drip, drip
from my eyelids
down my cheeks
past my parted lips
trickling over my jawbone,
disappearing–
I am alone, delicate and broken,
my old, once red hot tears
have fallen, like brave soldiers–
I am afraid, afraid of solitude,
unaccompanied like those buried
deep beneath the soil we walk upon–
I am terrified, frightened and [...]

It Kisses Me

Posted on 02. Feb, 2010 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

It pulls me under,
it lifts me up,
it tugs at my strings,
it grips me,
it kisses me;
his smile-
captures me.

Our Strings

Posted on 01. Feb, 2010 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

Rip the ties to our hearts,
tear at the strings bound so tightly,
wrench our lives apart,
pull our halves apart,
tug at our seams
pry us away
and let us forget;
forget and pretend;
pretend we no longer ache;
ache for the other.

Swimming

Posted on 28. Jan, 2010 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

Something rough, I’ve read it through once to make sure I didn’t typo… but otherwise, pretty raw.
I don’t want to edit this until I get some kind of feedback on it, I’m feeling very critical of myself at the moment, so I can’t trust my thoughts on this! What are your thoughts?
You’re swimming,
swimming through [...]
