Welcome to the Poetry of a Lifetime

I am Nicolas Brantes, otherwise known as Olbaid. This is my personal page where I can show the world my poetry. A little bit about myself: Born in Santiago de Chile on the 23rd of December 1985. But due to my fathers work I had to leave with my family to a certain number of countries including South Africa, Hong Kong and Italy. I am now back in Chile studying English Literature. My future ambition is to finish University and someday publish a book or so. In my past time other than writing poetry I like to play golf, listen to music and basically hang out.

About my poetry: I usually tend to write about about my emotions through poems that are for example about love, courage, passion, hate. As I write poetry instrumental music helps a lot when making the poem the way I want it.

Into The west

We have come to a time,
Where words are only a crime.
Our lies are but betrayed,
And most stand alone and afraid.

But not now, not here,
For you helped me pioneer.
There was nothing to fear,
For you are everything I hold dear.

I now walk towards the west.
Never depressed but blessed,
For I may not see you again
But in my heart you have made an eternal stain.

I will not weep,
But I shall miss thee.
In my soul I shall keep,
Thou courageous glory.

No time left for gatherings,
No time left for queens and kings.
Just enough for a momentary lapse,
to say, goodbye.
