My Heart Burns

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?

I Want To

Posted on 11. Nov, 2009 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

I want to
place one foot in
front of the other
shrug my shoulders
pull my coat closer
to my heart and bow my head
in remembrance.
I want to
forget the deep gashes
which, although healed
seem to be as raw
now as they ever were.
I want to
make peace
with the past and
feel like I am not forgotten
by someone I wanted to
remember me.
I want to
hit you [...]

Something simple… written a while ago, but still very much close to my heart if that makes sense…

What Once Was Mine

forever warm and cheeky,
unchanged.
His deep, soft voice
a familiar tune,
effortlessly outdoing
any voice, any sound in the room.
His sculptured body,
hard and strong,
soft and gentle,
mine;
all mine.
I [...]

The Yearning

Posted on 08. Nov, 2009 by Olivia Bell in Romantic Poetry

The yearning is deep,
nagging, tugging, pulling,
it never slows, never stops,
night and day, it stays;
even in dreams, it’s apparent–
I dream of all I yearn for,
I day dream of all I yearn of,
it never stops, it never dulls…
I yearn, and I yearn,
nothing ever changes.
