Beneath the Leaves
Beneath the warm sun, we wander through the tangled branches my grandfather's hands gentle, like the tree itself, rooted and wise He points to a ripe fig, its skin a the color of a jewel. I reach, as he coaches me ripe and unripe Conversation is exchanged his grumbly Italian voice echos like a simple song on the summer day He tells stories under the shade,...

Bones Beneath the Tower
Inspired by Bob Dylan's "Mississippi" I was the backbone of your dream— ribs shaped into beams, my blood seeping slow, cementing your tower’s base. You promised a sky of stars, a rise beyond all shadows— but I was just a ghost etched in your blueprint, a whisper beneath your tower. We built forever on lies, stacking stones on my shoulders— I was your ground, your silent sacrifice, the...

Whispers Beneath the Cemetery
Whispers Beneath the Cemetery Is love undead? Is love fate? Is love just holding on— a ghost that won’t abate? Does death mean I must give up on us, let go of what was? I stare at your grave— hours slipping by— Will you resurrect? Will you rise or die? A strange peace lingers— a burden I can’t lay down, The silence, the stillness— haunting and profound. I feel you...

Breathless Beneath Blue Silence
There, if your spacesuit tears, death awaits. “Armstrong, when he arrived on the moon, must have felt the same, though this is only a hundred meters. Still, I felt a kind of nirvana,” said Jacques Mayol. There, if your breath falters, death awaits. Though he returned from the deep many times, in the end, he chose his final dive. He chose a place from which there is no return. Nirvana— a state of release from suffering. They say a restless...

Everyone is seeking a peace they want to know. Looking for that happiness but not knowing where to go. There's a million things that promise lasting joy, or so they say. But every single thing brings more struggle in its way. Some look for peace in circumstance, some look for it in health. Some claim that joy is all just chance, some look for it in...

The Stillness Beneath Me
The Stillness Beneath Me They said I’d know I’m fully alive when laughter bloomed or sorrow cried. But both are gusts that pass me by— and neither one has ever lied. Yet neither tells the whole of me. They come, they go—I watch, I breathe. The truth is not the thrill or ache but what remains when both do leave. Contentment is a quieter...

Beneath the Broken Spell
The woods are never as kind as the stories make them seem. Little Red does not skip, her feet heavy with the weight of the basket, its contents a secret darker than the night. The wolves aren’t just hungry, they’re desperate. Their teeth are sharp, their hunger endless. And the huntsman? His axe is too slow, his conscience too soft for the forest that devours the innocent. The glass slipper...

When love has been forsaken, gone awry you would be wise and clever not to try opening your eyes in fear that you may see Pablo's painted sun as though a volcanic cyclops Vermillion lava flowing in serpentine rivers of tears Your own, sure to spill, voice screaming aloud throat burning with doused impassioned flames — but...

Beneath the Dunes
A world that once was. Is no more. Scattered shards of culture, lie dormant beneath its ruins. Waiting to be discovered, then discarded by those who would deny. Future traveler's mingling with the past. Contaminating mankind’s storyline. Weaving webs of endless possibilities and our beginnings. Savages turned scholars who’s knowledge of the heavens surpasses our own Temples align...

Premium Member The outside world makes me sick, suffocates me, dissolves my essence beneath my own skin
The outside world makes me sick, suffocates me, dissolves my essence beneath my own skin, Home seems like a distant illusion, reality—a thin veil ready to tear, I beg for other shells to cover my body, to hide my vulnerability, Loose clothes, shining chains, quiet shoes—all to divert attention. I try to hide the pain, to blur the days...
