Olivia A Keaton Jun 2018
today, somewhere where it smells of corn and fire, there was a man in the moon.

his smile was shining and there’s no denying the rhythm in his shoes.

everyone smiled while passing by and listen as I say there was a moonshine twinkle in his eye.

the old man with the clippy clappy tip tappin shoes, dancing under the moon for me and for you.

but should I?
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
i promise
i quit
if it hurts you, i won't do it
all of these promises
have been shattered
so should i believe you
when you say
stay, i love you.*
you've went back on your word
so many times
it's not fair for me to stay anymore
O.K
Just a little something I thought up today

Dreams
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
You
Me
No more people
Not even three
Just you and me
Walking along the sea
Talking about things of days
Walking in a salty haze
You look at me and then
I wake up
Sad and alone again
Had this dream and I thought I'd make it into a poem.

ugh
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2019
ugh
As I ride along in this car with you,
unwillingly,
I sip my water and silently wish it were something harder than the simple H2O.

All Along
Olivia A Keaton Nov 2016
Breaking of the heart
many people will see that it is wrong.
So many empty spaces.
Just remember you must be strong.
But all of these spaces
i've learned
there's enough room for new love to grow.
The person that once filled them
was always meant to be let go.
So darling your empty spaces
can create a strange heart that's full.
So if your heart is made of cracks and spaces
don't believe them when they claim it's wrong
because their heart is probably empty
and they haven't learned to be strong.

music and its joy
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
melancholy beats
that's enough for me
a little spark
in the lyrics
really helps me breathe.
O.K
My best therapy is music, and one of my favorite artists is now working on a new album and honestly, I can't wait.

Olivia A Keaton May 2017

that i might have my problems
that i cant deal with this anymore
or that when i take a walk
im running away from my house
but not my home?

broken images
Olivia A Keaton Jun 2017
coloring in spaces a little to dark
an awful permanent mark

no good for me,
broken you see
and, well we could never be
as we are too similar, see?


as I race to erase
every smudge I will chase

I miss it
Olivia A Keaton Apr 2017
We used to hang out all of the time
Sleep overs when we used to stay up too late
and act like your parents couldnt hear our too
excited conversations that weren't correct in grammer
I miss the times we were drunk
Not on alcohol but on friendship
and while we were together,
nothing else and no one else mattered.
To Samantha :)

Color Me Blue
Olivia A Keaton Dec 2016
Anything I can do to make you stay
I'm seeing myself when looking up at you.
I know I see in black and white,
so will you paint me a bright blue sky?
Without you I become colorblind
seeing grey drops of rain everytime I open my eyes.

*i need you to color me blue.
Edited version :)

((our)) civil war
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2017
in this thing called history,
something kind of represents our story
     we were slaves of love
     down, warm in the south
keeping heat; getting beat
being worn out
and when I heard those words
slip out of your mouth,
we went to war
*just like the north and south

Love, Death, and Fairytales
Olivia A Keaton Mar 2017
honestly, I've never experienced something that truly belongs in a fairytale..
until now.
romeo was charming the towns girl couldn't deny
if only juliet wasn't in the picture...
that's the day she decided juliet must die.
juliet had it all
beauty, kindness it continues on
that's why it was recognized sad when she took the fall.
she was in love what was she meant to do?
she was tired of crying every night,
i just wanted to be you.
now juliet has gone, or so the towns folk hear
romeo is hers now
so she hadn't shed a tear.

woot woot passion fruit
Olivia A Keaton May 2018
kiss me with passion,
deep want in your eyes.

hold me with love,
the cause of relief sighs.

taste me, the *****,
right on my lips.

and then a taste of passion fruit,
following each and every kiss.
O.K

Forgotten
Olivia A Keaton Dec 2016
I'm no longer in your mind
forgotten
is what you call me
you simply look over my withering frame
as if you are simply blind.
I sit all alone; gathering all of this dust
broken
is what I am
my heart slowly waning
it's a wonder I haven't began to rust.
I notice now I'm nothing but a forgotten toy
without a cause
never more am I useful
but sometimes I can't help but wonder,
"could I bring another joy?"
Prompt: write a poem based on forgotten toys.
255 · Sep 2016
Can you not?
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2016
So perfect but flawed at the same time
Like this poem will be
It probably won't rhyme
If it does it will ****
Because I'm trying to think of words
And I'm just kinda stuck
Writing my feelings, though you probably don't care
So if you're on my page and you don't like it at all
**beware
I'm sorry for the bad poem. I'll try and make a better one later.

Writer's Block

Beyond Words
Olivia A Keaton Oct 2016
Our friendship has grown
I knew back then we'd see each other,
Roll our eyes and groan

We were with our friends
When we got introduced
We decided to call a truce

Now we are unseperable
Like peas in a pod
To think we ever hated each other is quite odd
Prompt: Tell about a friendship.
Me and one of my best friends Kyleigh, hated each other until we were properly introduced

Over the Edge
Olivia A Keaton Jun 2018
This time it isn’t the edge of glory
no satisfaction,
not a happy end to this story.

Over the edge of a cliff.
That’s where she’ll jump,
no longer holding onto “what if.”

She hurts inside where you’ll never see.
That girl (she has a face)
and her name is me.

Jumping,, over the edge, this is her story.
Too bad it’s no longer the
“edge of literal glory.”

I think it's funny
Olivia A Keaton Jan 2017
I think it's funny
when people's lives kinda fall apart;
when people believe their awful jokes are funny;
when couples break one another's heart;
when all people see is a sky that's sunny.
Especially when they believe big dreams come just like that.
I hate when they lie.
Oh come on;
**I think it's funny; I'm just like that.
This isn't true by the way.

The woods
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
The woods are
Lovely;
Dark;
And deep;
But I have
Promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep.

In Autumn
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2019
among the golden rays of cool sun
amidst the burning crimson of the beautiful trees
with the withering pumpkin
with the falling of the leaves that have died,

we fell in love.

He’ll take her to the dance
why do i try?
Why do I smile,
when he makes me want to cry?
She’s the perfect princess,
he’s the perfect king,
I guess I need to redress,
and learn how to clean.

I wish I were his cinderella

Quiet
Olivia A Keaton Dec 2016
It's quiet
too quiet
she can hear the breathing;
the life;
the sadness;
and the grieving;
what she doesn't hear is that
her own heart isn't beating.
English class right now.

picture this.
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2018
the aroma of white citrus from a shower like summer rain. white sheets, a beautiful contrast to a tan body that nobody loves. the hushed breathing of people dreaming, things that I will never be honored to learn. pillows that may as well be clouds as I sink into them. the coolness of this bed, lonely but perfect as a morning with cool dew. all of this is perfectly amazing, but I’d rather share it with you.

If Snowflakes Were Kisses
Olivia A Keaton Dec 2019
If these cold, cold, bitterly cold snowflakes
turned into kisses,
a constant blizzard would take over you.
If the winter were love,
we'd embrace it like none other.

If snowflakes were kisses,
I would mold one giant snowball
and throw it right into your face
to knock you down
so we could make snow angels
because we're in Heaven.
242 · Sep 2017

Olivia A Keaton Sep 2017

I allow my thoughts to wander,
to a heaven scenario,
kisses, hugs, and genuine smiles.

Lord knows I need the warmth
in this fall air

Help
Olivia A Keaton Nov 2016
I turn to this old site
to write some poetry
just because it might
help soothe me to sleep.

I never go to bed on time
so to help me
I think of a rhyme
maybe two; just for you.

Tomorrow when I wake
I'll know that writing this poem
is probably a mistake
and I know at school I'll be no count.

So poetry help me dream
drifting away
sometimes poems aren't what they seem...
My brain is begging to find sleep, but technology has ruined me.
Olivia A Keaton May 2019
I don’t know
if it was fate
or a happy coincidence
that we were in the same place today
as we were in the beginning
Exactly 6 months and 15 days ago

Dream Wanderers
Olivia A Keaton Mar 2017
a poet is a special human being
we share our stories through our pens
our tears, our joy, our fun
we enjoy telling of our dreams
and even wandering through some.

Although some experiences may leave us pretty  weak
we continue on with our strong words
and we carry one another through the
decent storm of letters that's oh so very bleak.
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2017
right now I have mixed emotions.
Allow me, I'll tell you why.
I have the most homework,
because absent was I.
But I also have him
what a wonderful thing
seeing his smile,
a bright sort of thing.

(but his blue eyes,
they make my heart sing)

And the worst little bit,
a sadness no doubt,
is that I am an ugly,
so with him I'm without.
O.K
oops
Olivia A Keaton Nov 2018
It means that I’m the happiest that I have ever been,
it means that I will call you just to hear you sing.

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.

blackout poetry
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
I like it
a new way of writing for me
but I feel as if there's more to it than that
I wonder what it could be.
More intricate designs or a simple little mark
but some people may not
see this poetry as a hobby or an art.
I mark out useless words and phrases too
but a word that doesn't qualify for my art
may be essential for your poem, or for you.
O.K
There's no better way to end the school day.

true love, Hunter
Olivia A Keaton Apr 2020
True love comes in many forms.
The most different and unique is for Hunter.

True love is calling non-stop
from miles away
to make sure I didn’t cut
I had put the blade away.
True love is that care
the “you’re beautiful” stare
and the endless beauties you’ve shown me.
In the form of saving my life,
fixing our fights,
and helping me stay on track.
In the form of your kisses
and your “sweet dream” wishes,
in the form of my favorite song.
You’re in my head and my heart,
you made everything right when it was all wrong.

Yes Hunter,
I’m in love with you now
and I feel that I will be
until the death parting vow.
Forever and always watching out for me.
Doing what others can’t
being what I’ll always need.
Another True Love

vodka in a water bottle
Olivia A Keaton Jun 2018
I’m under disguise, so you see right through me.
Kind of like clear *****, hiding in a water bottle.  
I hide, unknown by the foolish.
I wait to be desired upon.
Caressing the lips of the one that’s drunk on me, burning their hearts with embers destined to thrive into flames.
Coursing through their veins, in their blood, slowly poisoning them with my sickening sense of addiction.
Giving them a fun time for now as I pretend to be something else,
and I’ll save them a special headache for later, when they wake up and realize that it was me in disguise all along.
O.K

hi. hello.
I'm doing somewhere between overly happy
(to the point I'm smiling like an idiot)
and utterly disappointed
(in you and myself)
you are indeed overwhelmingly beautiful
or handsome if you please
I can't find my feelings for you or myself
too bad that that's all I really need.
just some thoughtful word doodling. No. Drawing. This is more thought out than simple doodles on this page. Anyways I hope you enjoy because I'm truly smiling like an idiot constantly and I don't know how to quit.
