Olly Rowland Poems

vegan dreams are what keep me going
tell me what you dream of little vegan

whether it be me or someone else
...

through unemployment and fear and bitter resentment you have stood by me
through all my failures you have forgiven me. and never forgotten me
inspire me and i will give you all of me and save nothing for myself
speak to me on that spiritual level and i will be yours forever
...

Cold crisp sunlight shinning through the car window.
Borrow my camera and photograph this other place
Lets feast on Pringles and bread until we arrive
...

take a hit, from this strange and foreign pipe.
take more and more till your start to feel it
'this is reality, you won’t be in it for long'
my face feels like its on fire and my eyelids are getting heavy
...

i couldn't be further away from you
your voice is only a gentle whisper pushing me on
keeping me upright keeping me running
...

birds of pray passing by the window,
the road passing in and out of valleys,
with a thick fog falling upon us in our metal cocoon
light passing through distant particles in the field of the pennines
...

Helen Keller could't see me but she could see god
she saw him in the rolling hills and broad river
with that first water lay upon her lipped fingers
if I could only have seen it, the ripples in your dreams, the water in the air
...
