Flowing Words

Posted on 05. Apr, 2010 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

The words don’t flow so easily; they get caught in my throat and all that’s heard, is an annoyed grunt, sometimes they echo as a whisper, other times they don’t even pass my lips. Caught up in tangles, the sentences I long to voice don’t make sense anymore; frustration boils over, tears brim and all [...]

Once Mine

Posted on 05. Apr, 2010 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

He stands with me, near me, so near me… mere feet away, with the grace of normality… His body language, warm and charming, exuberant and welcoming. His crew cut, always the same, never long enough to play with, to dive into. His deep white smile, forever warm and cheeky, unchanged. His deep, soft voice a [...]

Another voice in this… not written from my “view”… The hands tighten, gripping my wrists with all her mite, her soft fragile hands, hard as ice– she holds me close to her, pulls me into her body warmth, but she cannot keep me here, I am drifting away with tonight’s brisk wind– she wraps my [...]

Sweet, sugar coated words slip past your lips, capturing my beating heart, lifting it to the heavens above– Your sweet, sugar coated words touch me too deeply, I am afraid; afraid to believe– I run, run with the wind losing myself in your words, Sweet, sugar coated words I cannot trust. I long for love, [...]

Complicated Simplicty.

Posted on 05. Apr, 2010 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

I know you remember our sweet time together; the gentle hands, soft smiles, tempting grins and lustful words. I know you remember us, I know you remember me, I know more than you think I know; yet your mind and soul taunt me, leaving me; unfinished, half prepared, forgotten. I know you think of me, [...]
