Poems from OliverAmatist
My name is Oliver Amatist, aka the deadpoet. I am a Pacific Northwest born and raised spoken word poet. I specialize in Free Verse Poetry ranging on topics relative to mental health, societal constructs, and the pure love that comes with freedom of expression. My career as a poet started with my first book, Time Within a Leaf, which can be found on amazon. Also, my first large performance at the Bit of Seattle 2017 showed me what I am capable of. Thank you for reading, listening, and expressing. I have may shows booked over the next year and more to come. I will be updating this list of venues soon!
I think I paint because of fear of the abstract.
I think I have fear, and there it is,
Blossoming in my behaivor.
Like a flower peddle...
The sun just rose in lost connection,
Please undo the times we have held onto believe,
False hope, dreams, and expectation.
I'm just glad...
This here, in my hands, is nothing more than an hour glass.
Time paves each grain of sand and marks the hours pass.
As each grain stumbles...
