Oriana’s Odes

Poems.

Aubrey’s Atmosphere III

Somewhere between “just kiss me” and “did you miss me?”

Somewhere between DND and “hey, are you free?”

Somewhere between “have fun tonight :)” and “where’s the function?”

Somewhere between “what are we” and we together by assumption

But I stay down, boy I always stay down

[orianasodes]

To be seen without fronts

Only to be further admired beyond looks

Becoming comfortable with existing softly

Yearning to give the same feelings of peace.

“VOCALIZE”

Surprise me with your words, no need for a tongue tied “I love you”.

Speak to me your truths, things about me you like,is there even a few?

Even Zendaya yearned for reassurance, shall I be different?

If wanting to hear a decibel of how you see me is a sin, where do I repent?

I don’t want to press, I never want to hear I’m arguing alone again, it’s just between our miles, what is truly keeping you a mend?

Forwarded Address

(Ref Letter Home x Childish Gambino)

You’re the only man that I have ever wanted

Even in a dream I told her thank you.

My momma said that I should send you poems.

But I know I’m not your sole muse.

Take my hand, you’ll like it.

You don’t even have to fall, I hope you know I want to call, but you’re busy.

Take my hand, you don’t even have to call,

You’re somewhere out there after all

You’re all I’ve ever wanted.

✨Goodnight >Goodmorning✨

Mornings ends the dream

Mine is to wake beside you

Yearning for sweet dreams

[orianasodes]

✨Borderline✨

The sunshine beams down

Halfway to meet a plant’s reach

Effortless support

Aubrey’s Atmosphere II

Somewhere between comparing exes and complex god.

Somewhere between hitting a wink and just a nod.

Somewhere between asking how you slept and if you ate

Somewhere between the double text and replying late

But I stay down, boy I always stay down

[orianasodes]

Heartbeat 4:17

Shoes off at the door

Clothes off is next, but could you

bare your soul to me?

As lips move to kiss

they are magnetically drawn

speaking words never said

Vacations are timed

as our times are together

Yet you feel like home.

Thirst Traps Don’t Work Around Here

Me watching my vague and bar on the floor efforts tank all around me into clouds of clown likenesses. All because words fail me immensely even when it comes to the simplest of requests to just see a glimpse of you in my presence. Be it across a table in my dining room sharing a sip or bite, or beside me on my couch trying to decipher both what to watch on tv and which app to choose from, or dare I say mostly in my mind of desires, you on top of me kissing my lips, sending my already fluttering butterflies into turbulence that catches fire, not a quick fire, but a slow and steady burn like the incense I see faintly in the background before my eyes roll back into my head full of the ecstasy that is you.

Blue Arrow

Fingers snap just to know that the word got sent No need for screen shots just to prove that you got hit Flames beside your name as we been on for a minute Planning impromptu nights cause it’s been a while since you been in it Time flies, dates change, with all these miles in between Anxious plays within my head cause things with us have never been quite keen Transparent doors leads to opens to locks From greetings to towel drops to bed knocks All set to August though it’s far from this hot girl’s summer Then after our time, dings another impromptu plan made, that was a bummer Time will fly soon again just snap your fingers Lover.

Future is Bright

Drinking on a weekend like usual

Way off in the deep end like usual

Bitches think they bad but now ass ain’t enough

Haven’t hit him back wish I could give a fuck

Robyn got that Fenty on my face glowin up

Niggas out here slippin so be nice for what?

Some hoe fucked yo nigga I’d tell you if it was me

Orange box parked out front yes that’s all Ivy

Say my time is ticking but I been blown up

Know you got my pin baby please pull up

Coke lines on the glass your bitch a white girl huh?

Bitches still biting off my muse content huh.

Aubrey’s Atmosphere

‪Somewhere between I’m clingy and you need me. ‬ ‪Somewhere between your ex and your to-be.‬ ‪Somewhere between I’m insecure and I’m THAT B‬ ‪Somewhere between besties and “is you with me?”. ‬ ‪ But I stay down, boy I always stay down

Triggered: Sets of Haikus

Look at him stage right

Wondering where they drifted

out of clear focus

Spot light hits him bright

she sits in awe and wonder

Of how she fucked up

Too much emotion

Trying to seek relevance

From a man with dreams

Dreams turned real thank God

Support bleeds from her heart beats

Even from afar

[orianasodes]

No Genies

I’m asking too much For you to accept this chipped heart To accept my faults cause my face is art I’m asking too much For you to play a medium To understand my mind, and keep me high like helium I’m asking too much To keep me safe and sound When even when you’re busy just to say why you ain’t around. I’m asking for too much For all of your heart Even though we’ve barely had a start.

YKYDFUR

Shortness of breath Inconsistent slumber Silence. On both ends. Butterflies gone from my stomach, now just tides of nausea Bouts of streams of tears at the random thought of us in a past tense Streams overflow with the thought of the future tense that could never be. And it’s truly all because of me.

[orianasodes]

Connected Distance.

Scent lingers of your essence Sight lights up in your presence But were you really even here? Something is missing when trying to adhere. The wall of the strongest brick Without security, though that’s just a trick to keep us parted to keep us guarded Self afflicted games led onto self destruction To blow any chance of a heart’s abduction.
