Broken Body

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

Hands rush to her chest, placed perfectly; one on top of the other, she begins to move. Strong hands push down, forcefully on her heart, releasing it before its crushed; eyes capture her face, waiting for a response, a sign from above. A blank canvas sorrowful eyes, an outraged moment; hands rush to her chest, [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Oh bright stars, won’t you shine tonight while we dance under your gaze, hands entwined. Oh magnificent Moon, won’t you be full tonight while we gaze into each others eyes under your joyful light. Oh whispering winds, won’t you hush hush tonight while we dance to your gentle graceful tune. Oh rainy clouds, won’t you [...]

Weak winter light seeps into my room, the twitter of december birds wake me on a cold morning, a blanket of white frost reminds me of the cold bitterness that awaits me. Snuggling beneath the covers I close my eyes and remember yesterday, the joy and laughter, the lightness and warmness and gentleness I received. [...]

Vicious Circle

Posted on 12. Nov, 2009 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

Tight arms wrap me up warmly, lips pressed firmly to my mouth gesturing for a return I echo the movements; arms entwine, gently moving lips to an unspoken rhythm. It’s nice. He leans in closer, grazing his lips to my cheek, trailing along my jawbone nearing the skin below my ear; he inhales. It’s odd. [...]

Nothing.

Posted on 11. Nov, 2009 by Olivia Bell in Dark Poems

The tap drips; echo, echo, echo, drip, drip, drip, it doesn’t stop, there is no end – the flood gate opened and so the tap drips; drip, drip, drip. My wide eyes water and spill silently; at least they don’t echo like the water flowing from the tap. They roll cautiously down my porcelain cheeks [...]
