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 [...]

Locked Doors

Posted on 22. Jan, 2010 by Olivia Bell in Sad Poetry

The words have run dry
the gates of my mind have closed
I am empty, sore
confused;
but there are no words
only locked doors
with no keys to be found.

Flickering Flame

Something new from me… I have been slightly uninspired as of late, but here is something at last!

I haven’t had the chance to really read it through, often when I’m uninspired I can’t read it back otherwise I lose any desire to write anything else… too critical, that’s me!

But anyway, I’ll stop rambling… here is my latest piece. Please do leave a comment if you have any thoughts, that’s one of my favourite bits! Hearing what others think. :)

She is Waiting

Posted on 28. Dec, 2009 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

This is something I wrote about a month ago, but couldn’t really… finish.  But here I have it, it’s really short, and it doesn’t actually explain very much, but at the same time, I actually like this as it is… I would love some feedback, maybe I’m just the one who feels like this…. [...]

Wasting Time

Posted on 02. Dec, 2009 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

Take me slowly,
hold me gently,
soothe my fears with
kind sweet words,
take your time with me,
let me build brick by brick,
allow me to trust,
don’t break your promises,
don’t lose me in your rush
take your time
I’m not going anywhere.

Cry for Me Argentina – Singing

Cry for Me Argentina – Singing

Today I had my usual Monday singing lesson. I sung the following:-

Cry for Me Argentina
Ave Maria (Katherine Jenkins version).

I recorded parts of the lesson with my iPhone – which is why parts of it are cut off, and it’s not “studio” perfect, very much practicing! You’ll hear a few mistakes and actually parts I would [...]
