WELCOME TO THE POETRY OF OLIVER BEALE

THE EXPARATION DATE

Like antiseptic

On the soul

It flows on like the river

Burns all filth away

I’m the butterfly.

Poppies to pollenate

I’m the bottle of red wine.

I will consume with a broken heart.

I am the operator

So I pick up the phone.

I am asked, Can the hopeless, be helped?

GIRL IN THE CLOUDS

In heaven she looked down

She had the stars in her long yellow hair, laid down along her back

Her last day stopped 10 years ago.

But, I can still feel her spirit grow in me

Leaning over me, I felt her hair on my neck

Now nothing.

Just the fall of leaves, autumn

Higher than the sun

The lifeless

Loved by souls blow away

Abandoned

Dream-Time-Heaven

A little feather in space.

And her voice, the music often is a subtle hum, radiates the stars.

I hear her voice,

and I take her hand

And we bathe in light that is supreme

I touch her cheek with mine

The angels will surround us in dance and song.

But, heaven was unyielding – so She Covered her face and cried.

THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE

Sharp turns

Ups and downs

Over the edge

A drop up

Into the heavens

The star on a moonstage

A glass of coke

A blue sky table

A slice of sun ray Breaking through.

ITCH

My anckles are flaky

White and red.

Throbbing, creepy crawling

Inside my tight white socks

Black Shoes Tingling, begging for me to scratch.

STEAMPUNK POETRY21

FORCED SELF MUTILATION

Use and abuse

The scales flake off my back

My skin

I am naked

Natural

Exposed

They get a taste of it

They sing out

An ear piercing, shaking scream With traces of an eagle cry
