I'm waiting for the cicadas
to, um...
do whatever a cicada does on a summer night.

I'm waiting for the watermelon juice
running down
making everything too sticky in the sun.

I'm waiting to sneeze
as the dust from flowers, pollen,
fills my nose and gets angry.

I'm waiting for the brook to babble,
the trees to sway their new dresses made of fresh leaves and buds,
I'm waiting for this.
...And more.

The Budding Willow
Olivia A Keaton Mar 2019
You saw me
I am a willow tree
Swaying my branches
Caressing the breeze.
You saw me sad
As the winter consumed
But you waited for my flowers
Happiness resumed.
All I needed was a hug of warmth
A glimpse of happy spring
So now I’m budding
Because that’s what you bring.
O.K
Olivia A Keaton Mar 2019
do you know that I love you so much
that
I sit upright in bed,
chilled, and with a cold,
******* on a nasty cough drop to keep my sickness quiet,
just so you can finally get some rest?

do you know that I love you so much
that
I'm fully prepared to stay awake,
all night,
incase you need me,
because maybe your sickness has returned,
or something mean and scary has disturbed your sleep?

do you know that I love you so much
that
I didn't take a shower, because I didn't want to leave you alone,
and that I worried so much that
I allowed raindrops from my eyes to fall onto my glasses,
even though I hate getting them wet?

do you know that I love you so much
that
I sit here,
waiting,
praying to our God
that my baby boy will be well once more,
that your color will return,
your head will calm,
and that your lunch will want to stay with you?

do you know
that
I love you
this incredibly much?
O.K
If you are a person of any faith, please pray for my love. He's terribly and unexpectedly sick this evening and I can tell he's just not feeling like himself. Thank you and much love to all that read and care <3

cookies
little treats that we chose to make.
All over my oven,
left too long to bake.
Burnt cookies
and they stick in my nose,
filling the house
as you hold me close.
We head to bed,
with the sticky smell of burnt.

and we fall asleep
   all the same.

What I Dream Of
Olivia A Keaton Mar 2019
Last night
but
a morning in the future.

We lay in bed
I'm no morning person
and sun hits our warm bodies.

You sleep
later than me
which is odd.

And do you know
that
I love you so much
that I lay there tangled up in you
even though the sun shines in my eyes?

Do you know that
I love you so much that
I'm staying in bed
when my bladder
and heart are about
to burst?

Do you know that
I love you so much
that I lay, waiting.
Waiting to burst, to kiss, to stretch my legs out and stop staring into the morning sun,
do you know that I do this all for you,
as you sleep?

Chilled by a Morning Breeze
Olivia A Keaton Feb 2019
The wind caressed my curves
then it played with my hair.

Funny how it had its way with me,
that excited air.

But now my hair is in knots
and I’m away from the wind.

Weird how a love story barely started
came to a sudden end.
O.K
Olivia A Keaton Feb 2019
A halo and white
not for me.
Reds of fire and passion,

Watch my horns and smile as they grow.
I’m not the angel they used to know.

Olivia A Keaton Feb 2019
I had a halo
then I broke it.

You said I was hot,

you melted.

Your fallen angel from the sky

    Haha

I’m a devil you can’t deny.

So let me soar
give me back my wings.
Show me heaven
beautiful things.

Give me back what was taken,
but now I have horns if I’m not mistaken.

Sleep (in its best form)
Olivia A Keaton Feb 2019
Lying in bed,
slowly sinking and rising with your chest,
peeking at the too bright sun through my blinds.

The tingling of my entire left arm
as i have it draped, like the curtains I don't have,
over your sleeping body.

Listening to the steady drumming of your heart,
wishing you would wake up,
just so I could kiss your lips once more.

Being perfectly comfortable
in a sleepy sunset afternoon.
O.K
Ever since I've slept with you, my bed has felt cold and lonely. <3
Olivia A Keaton Feb 2019
it seems as if there are thousands of ways to say "I love you"
but

xoxo
Olivia A Keaton Feb 2019
I never understood why they always use x's and o's.

I never understood how a hug could be so safe and completely surrounding, like an o.

I never knew that a kiss, like an x, could cancel out everything and anything else.

But now I do.
O.K
xoxo, kisses and hugs to the love of my life.

The Day of Love
Olivia A Keaton Feb 2019
all around me today
I see chocolates.
because they're sweet, I guess.

then I hold onto my own heart,
instead of your hand.
but even though you're not here,
chocolate has nothing on you.
O.K

Happy Valentine's Day to you all!! I hope that those of you out there that are lucky enough to have someone to cherish on this day have a great time with those you adore! <3
And for those of you that don't, don't let that get you down. Enjoy today to its full worth. Much love to you all.

Now to my sweetheart, thank you for being everything I need. Thank you for being my sweetness. Thank you for giving me the sickeningly sweet love that makes chocolates unworthy of my day. I can't wait to see you soon!

whispers
Olivia A Keaton Feb 2019
my favorite is the whisper:

in the dark
the darkest hours of the night.
When your hair is all messy and we're too tired to speak
at a higher volume.

in my ear
the ones that give me incredible chills,
this one means that whatever you have to say,
is just for me.

The morning groans of an alarm, too early.
Laughter in abundance at things that aren't even (that) funny.
Singing tones that may be a bit flat (but still perfect to me).

They're all so wonderful.
But my favorite is the whisper,
because whatever you say in those moments,
belongs to only me.

The Season of Love
Olivia A Keaton Feb 2019
I thought I loved the warmth of the sun.
Really, I love the warmth your body offers.

I thought I treasured the moments where
my skin was chilled, and my breath was smoke.

Really, I ache for the chills your lingering fingers
trace onto my skin, and how you take my breath away.

I thought that my favorite was the comfortable coolness,
the perfect autumn.

Really, I love how I've fallen for you.
Better than leaves, of any color, ever could.
O.K
I love you more than anything.. now and always.
Olivia A Keaton Feb 2019
I bundled the stars and tossed them into the sky
I made them from tears
ones from the right eye.

I held them close to keep me warm
I bundled them up
to keep them from a raging storm.

I put them there for you, you know
Beautiful eyes gazing
at my pretty star show.

Olivia A Keaton Jan 2019
Our time together may not be as lengthy as we’d like.
I think this is why I catch myself,
I catch myself recording every detail that my eyes are lucky enough to see.
Listening closely, so closely for I desire to hear,
every word, every sound.
I watch how your soft lips move, making simple words that I deem beauty.
I watch how your eyes, your deep forest filled eyes, when they’re not watching me, how they gaze around at the world around us that I had become oblivious to.
I watch as your arms move and your shoulder blades glide, hidden under your shirt.
I feel the carpet of fitting rooms, I see that hideous sweater.
I remember the chilled tastiness of the special ice cream.
I remember how my face and sides began to ache as I caught a case of the giggles and you began to laugh too.
I remember it all.
And I miss it.
I can’t get enough of you.

pink skies and green eyes
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2019
bubblegum pink with a pop
I can't tell where heaven begins,
where you stop.

playing in clouds of velvet
carelessly wandering
laying in streams that belong to jets.

that earthly green that brings me down for a while.
those beautiful eyes
they go well with that perfect smile.

A Two Person Poem
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2019
Her:
Tonight, baby, I got in the driver's seat of my car.

Him:
Honey, I knew I said that I wouldn't, but here I am at the closest bar.

Her:
I bet you don't even miss my smile.

Him:
I'd give anything to make her happy again, I haven't in a while.

Her:
He's probably drinking again, getting wasted away.

Him:
Without her, this bitter whiskey is the best part of my miserable day.

Her:
There's no use in being careful anymore.

Him:
I should've never hit that door, now I'm stuck with "what if"

Her:
I wonder if there's a reason I shouldn't drive off of this cliff...

Him:
Now I'm outside stumbling, thinking about flying off of this bridge.


(as the man got closer to the edge of his death, some headlights caught his attention, until they turned and plummeted over the cliff on the other side of the bridge. it was a car all too familiar. and in it, was his only reason to live. with the knowing of what just happened, the man drops his stolen glass of whiskey, closes his eyes, and learns that he really can't fly)

rain from hell
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2019
It's so confusing to me how
rain splattering from one's eye,
on your side of the phone,
can make me have a storm over here,
all my own.

I can almost hear her pleading
I can almost hear her sadness.
For something she never could deserve,
for something I hope to make fade over the years.

I hope to be her sunshine
to scare away this rain from hell.

simple things
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2019
Trace your fingers along my amazon body,
such a beautiful contrast against the sheets,
that we've somehow gotten tangled in.

Give me the good kind of chills,
the chills from being warm
from feeling your breath against my neck.

Love me delicately,
delicate like lace, or a flower.
Love me like there's nothing else to do,
and no tomorrow in sight.

keep it hush hush
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2019
Every time I try to capture every detail.

Dark, deep forests in your eyes.
filled with magical and mysterious things,
overflowing with such a desire that I become so useless and lost.

Earthquakes and beautiful tremblings.
Shaking wonderfully,
overwhelmed with the feeling of silk, honey, and even velvet.

Waterfalls, sparkling and running fast.
gushing, cascading over the edge.
so spectacular that you want to stay forever.

the whimper
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2019
a small, and pitiful (yet strangely beautiful)
sound that falls like velvet from my lips.

the sound of desire, unspeakable want.

a sound that will give him chills and make him pace.
a sound that acts like a readying trumpet at a horse's race.
a sound of begging and needing.

a golden thing,
held closely as my own,
protected from all.

except the one that creates the whimper.

My Smile
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2019
Is it beautiful,
or something for strangers to marvel at,
because of how naturally straight my teeth are?
(I had always wished to get braces, but never did)

Is it my family's favorite sight,
because they think they've
done something well enough,
worthy of a smile?
(Do they only consider themselves?)

Do they go unnoticed,
just a tik in society now??
Just something they all wear,
like a jacket, or shoes?

My smile is beautiful because he's the one that puts it there.
My smiles are genuine because of the things he does for me.
And while they may go unnoticed by everyone else,
I know he's always searching for another glance at these pearly whites.

to think
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2019
There was a time
when
our lips hadn't yet touched.

and

There was a day
when
your eyes didn't know mine.

and

There was a point
that
your hands hadn't yet caressed my body.

And to think,
all that I have to do is ***** up once,
and I'll begin to remember these seemingly foreign things,
just a little too well.

Never Have
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2019
I’ve never felt a love this strong
a love that goes both ways.

A love that sticks through right and wrong,
a love that listens to bad days.

A love that never lies,
a love that holds on and remains true.

A love for which I won’t apologize,
a love between me and you.

A Poem That Goes Both Ways
Olivia A Keaton Dec 2018
In your dark, I’ll be your light.
I’ll be your warmth in your coldest night.

I’ll be your smile, through the tears.
I’ll be your hug year after year.

I’ll be your sunshine through the rain.
The beautiful rainbow to fix that pain.

Most importantly, you’ll be mine.
Wow. I couldn’t think of anything more divine.

Run Away
Olivia A Keaton Dec 2018
~kiss me~
and leave me breathless

((hold me))
don’t leave me defenseless

\look into my eyes/
and run away

A new life for us,
just a different day

Get lost in my love,
I’m sure you’ll find a way

Because darling with you,
home is any place

Let’s run
Get  l o s t
Have fun
No cost

Just me and you
the birds and the bees
Those perfect days
that perfect breeze.

So let’s run
Get  l o s t
Have fun
No cost

Just me and you
nothing else to say
Starting our new life
in a perfect way.

speechless, with words
Olivia A Keaton Nov 2018
I want to write pretty words
about your beautiful soul.
I have a desire to tell our story
until it can no longer be told.

But you leave me speechless !
Lingering words on my lips
untraceable traces, right down to my hips.

You leave me speechless !
Seven parts of a whole,
words and kisses to be stole.

I am left speechless.
With so much to say.
Yet I continue to go on
and think of you all day.

And here I am,
the happiest I’ve ever been.
All because I’m in love,
and he happens to be my best friend.

When he sings to me at night,
it’s music to my ears.
I go to sleep,
for in my head is filled with beauty, love, and light.

I love him so much,
that silly spoon.
I just keep waiting for the day
when “now” is instead of “soon”.

For him I will wait,
and I would walk miles.
For him, he is worth it.
He is worth while.

It means that I’m the happiest that I have ever been,

This is what it means to be in love with you.

It means late nights, layin in bed
it means getting to play with the hair on your head.

This is what it means.

It means wishing to be together, alone
it means yearning to hear your voice over the phone.

Oh but this is what it means.

It means looking forward to every day,
it means not missing out on my chance to say
I love you

because that’s what it’s like to be in love with you.

It can start out as nothing and
then bloom into something so beautiful.

Love grows.
Maybe outward.?

A womb of a mother,
growing, growing, outward.

Love grows.
Maybe, and sadly, apart.?

Outward, Inward, Apart, and Up.
Just let my love be enough?
