Premium Member I understood you in your silence, an ocean of ice under mute stars
I understood you in your silence, an ocean of ice under mute stars, where the shadows of time weigh heavily, a mountain of unspoken ash, your struggles, heavy curtains, hide cries of a shattered heart, shards of fallen stars, scattered on fields forgotten by the wind. Your nights, sleepless, just broken mirrors in which you get lost, you see yourself...

Premium Member I understood your silence, the weight you carried in your soul like an old and relentless burden
I understood your silence, the weight you carried in your soul like an old and relentless burden, The battles you fought behind closed doors, like storms raging in the depths, The nights when sleep eluded you, like a fleeting shadow, and the mornings when you rose again, steadfast, I knew the trials that left deep scars, the wounds...

Premium Member Things I Almost Understood
A soggy teddy bear lay on the shoulder of the highway— head twisted, limbs askew, its damp fur clinging to gravel and its sightless eyes beseeching heaven. I watched from the backseat, wondering if it was dropped in sorrow or thrown in rage, or left behind after something that didn’t leave anything else. Two women in white nightgowns ran across their front lawn on a frosty full...

Rye Flower Dance
Seclusion forms into a mountain, Practice acceptance of my reflection, Eye contact with the water of a fountain. Time refuses to push forward if you stop counting, Acting seconds out loud, Life can never falter if I’ve got nothing to amount to. I’m trying to make sense of the seasons, Claimants of my portions try...

Knowledge I Once Understood
Attorney Sara, There are nights when the hush of the world is so deep I can hear the stars murmur to one another, and I think of you. You are all I have—not in some desperate cry, but in a sacred truth. You are grace when I stumble, beauty when I close my eyes, and light...

I’ve understood the secrets of your life
I’ve understood the secrets of your life, I’m no longer your former source of strife. I won’t take a place on your cherished throne, My sorrow won’t leave your doorstep alone. The century looks back at me with disdain, What’s happened to humanity’s domain? Deep in my heart, my feelings remain, My secrets are still unshared, like a chain. I have many truths...

Premium Member I never understood love
I never understood love... Always was I the one who adorned his life with dreams. Music was my compass through the fog towards all that I was to become. Often, love seemed a superfluous entity, I found myself wrapped in a cocoon of crystal, A prisoner of solitude, No one seemed to unravel the enigma of my soul. But here you are...

UNDER UNDERSTOOD
To be mis understood is to be absorbed A rejection of existence by the listener The communicator communicating But the message is dissonance It has happened one two three many times Too much so that speaking is distilled To specifically what you believe in So that you can see me, It is heartbreaking I would...
