Beneath Poems - Poems about Beneath

To understand me is to walk on a path of thorns hidden beneath velvet, where the scent of roses deceives the lungs with sweet illusions, while blood silently drips into the earth that swallows untold stories. I do not wish to be deciphered; I am merely an enigma mercilessly absorbing your fragile understanding, leaving only shadows to dance on...

But what lies beneath the shadow of the night you wear like a heavy cloak? What do you see in the mirror when all the masks fall off and fade into nothingness? Pure white, cold light that bathes the wound, is all that remains beneath the layers of silence. Your scars, what do they truly hide, and what...

In awe I lay upon the verdant knoll, mesmerised by the silent starry sky, a mirror gleaming deep within my soul, reflecting timelessness, I barely know. Venerate Venus dances in reverse, spinning our musings under mulberry moons, when we chased illusions, beneath the Queen’s chair, through realms where reasons dared not delve, our hearts lost in a cosmic haze. in this wilderness of...

Cells held secret ballots in my bones, voting for mutiny in whispers. Cancer, that drunk architect, scribbled collapse into my blood's blueprint. They built black gardens in my lungs, where breathing became a treasonous act. Tumours whittled my ribs into broken bridges, pinned eviction notices on my veins. Every chemo drip was a gamble— waging war against a traitor that wore my own face. Hair fell...

Some flowers bloom well into twilight, moonlight mesmerizes them, leads them into dreams of distant dawns. The velvet drapes of summer do not offend them, rather they entice as they bathe within deeply tidal lullabies. Gently the blossoms succumb, gentle is the soft enfolding. A warmed and darkening air descends to couple with the intimate scents of floral favors, perfumes that linger upon wafts of intimacy. all hidden by...

You’re in the garden, playing ball with Pippa In half an hour you’ll have your evening meal The green of grass is glowing slightly deeper I’m playing solitaire and thinking if you feel Same as I am, before I press the phone sign After three rings I interrupt the call You’re calling back, and so we are online How was your day,...

Resilient I am, to be here, to stand as tall as a sunflower. I can hear the cacophony of cicadas outside my window sing with me through my grief. Their trill reminds of blooming chances. As sunlight slips through, rays of gold ripple over my skin like a whisper of comfort, their warmth sinking into my...

The chill retreats, a whispered thaw, As spring's sweet breath begins to draw Life from the earth, with a gentle hand, Kissing the sleeping, frozen land. My cherry tree, so stark and bare, Now feels like a gentle brush upon the air, Reaching to skies, with its slender frame, Whispering secrets of petals by name. A canopy of palest bloom, Dispelling winter's fading gloom, Soft...

Wave a magic wand and poof! Try to put the genie back in the bottle Oops, too late…now everyone’s laughing More like heads shaking in disbelief Wear the rough edges of your plan down With the file still buried in that 34-ingredient cake A humorous situation, no, a real mess At the crossroads…freedom & whim You tore apart the construct limb from limb Disaster...

Night awakens in the chaos of infernos imploding beneath the darkened sky, It stretches, casting its tangled locks over the deep silences, Shedding the seraphic blankets of the winter moon, golden and silent, And dances barefoot on the icy floors that crackle beneath its steps. It stumbles over the remnants of dawn, torn like shattered thoughts, Like shards of sharp...
