#underneath
It speaks to me
hold your breath
feel my skin
underneath.
It speaks to me
hold your neck
feel my sweat
underneath.

Would my last breath
Bring you more relief
Than grief?
With the sod replaced
And me underneath,
Would you feel like your life
Was returned by it's thief?
Would your heart
Match your belief?
...please respond...

I know one day
The other foot's gonna drop
And I'll be underneath it
In my final resting spot
Do my deeds, both good and bad
Stick with me through the rot?
Will I be chained to the scene
Or get too haunt a plot?
Will I recognize the deity
Deciding if I'm good enough or not
I wonder what happens
To every thought I've thought

the waterfall pours from my eyes
pedals fall underneath the guise
stunting growth, lethargic dope
cogs and knots, perched atop
Frozen locks, offset and lost
denial of fact, unravelling fiction
dine in solitude, reset and listen

They say there is always beauty underneath...
But, why must everything be beautiful?

Shipwrecks
and underwater ruins
Dressed as shiny
moons and stars
That shimmer
for the sandpipers
When the sun drops her guard
and shows a little skin

Hues of onyx fill the hemisphere,
daylight sets artificially..
The glacier of life floats breathless,
more mass underneath..
Beauty now drowns for profit...

Do you think it's too late for me?
I mean, am I doomed to be
The person that I am?
It's not too late for me
Is it?
I need you to tell me
That it's not too late
I need you to tell me
That I'm a good person
I know I can be selfish
And narcissistic
And self destructive but
Deep down, underneath all of that
I'm a good person
And I just need you to tell me
That I'm good

Poetry is
The earth we see
When its tumultuous and green
And syllables
Are the rivers
Carving out valleys deep beneath

Beyond usual
Some rhymes
Sound better while whispered
Some rhymes
Get life when screamed
And rooted truth
Are conveyed in silence
Without saying much
Just listen
Sincere mystery

"Your smile ,
I your eyes it shows
When you laugh,
The whole world knows
You can light up the room"
Is what they say
But it's all a costume
Just put up for display
The smile I put up
Hides the pain I push down
The laugh I force through
Hides the cry I withdrew
This mask i put on
Doesn't hide the true me
It only hides my anguish,
My pain, so no one can see
Some people might think
It's a demon controlling me
Dressed up in costume
of an Angel to be
But my demons do not control me
They are stuck in my head
They can't control the mask
Only the thoughts instead

At least
You know by now
Why I look
Into your eyes
That very moment
I wish that light
Was meant for me
You exist
I exist
You with me, and
Me with you
Here we are
On the way
Too weird to say
What is about to happen
The bond that
Defines us
And that's
How it began
And I vow, it will
Never end

Oh
My toe
Is filled
With woe
Because one
Sad solo
Sock and shoe
Overflows
With wet ice
And freezing snow
But I won't show
Or let anyone know
The cold I feel
Numbing me slow
I know
It will grow
But onwards
I go
So
I guess
My warmth
I owe
To this foe
I realized
Long ago
I can't or won't
Overcome
Overthrow
Or say no
To chilly air
That through me flows
Without fail
Stealing my glow
Although
I suppose
I'm used to it though
This evil villian
That stays down low
Underneath
My feet
Below

I'd like to
become see-through
For people to
know who
is hiding underneath
how lungs breathe
how bones shiver
of the stolen liver
throat that has to swallow hard
each broken promise shard
stomach digesting
loneliness from life's endless questing
these veins red and blue
this heart beating true
I wish to be see-through
see-through for you
Without it I'm sure
I look so pure
Til you see me sing the most beautiful song
with blood on my tongue

She had a beautiful smile,
hiding many stories beneath.

Underneath the history,
beneath the blood,
the pain,
the corpses-
Somewhere covered by hatred,
deceit, pride, and jealousy,
below selfishness,
and ignorance-
Under mounds of ash
and toiling,
suffering and
Fear-
Somewhere underneath,
confined to fiction by
weakness:
There is something good.

I Am Guilty Of All My Failures
I take the blame for all I’ve done;
Own up to all those failures mine;
Failures from:
Naivetể and laziness,
Unworldliness
An focus-less
Yet I’ve managed to fulfill
Some crude achievements,
Accomplishing on intuition:
Not a bad guide, nor a good one.
All sits in the readiness;
Instinct in the readiness,
Prowess in the readiness.
Even if there’d been instruction
I’d have had to wait it out
Until my twenties – eight or seven
When the background synthesized
Into a foreground wise.
Inborn, unshorn weaknesses
That held one back,
In untold ways,
I could say, ***** it!”
Or complete the work
To fight off other frailties;
Develop and maintain
A lively strain
Of concentrative energies,
So that my foibles will be few-er.
Mea culpa! Mea culpa!
I say, “Do it!”

People look for monsters underneath their bed.
But what if I tell you that they live inside the mirror.

A lot of people think
it's shining armour that keeps them strong.
For me, it’s what’s underneath,
the bones of the matter
beneath the skin kite.
Let the wind take me and
watch how high I can fly.

Next time the monsters lurk out
from under my bed,
I'll let them pull me under.
After all , the creatures down there
that I'll find
aren't nearly as
scary
as the ones inside my mind.

Still alive and breathing
Hiding the frown by smiling
Sand quickly covers my feet
Suddenly six feet underneath
Mistakes from the past year
Fear running from the rear
Footsteps running from fear
Everything is visible from here
Six feet underneath
Buried under the heath
Wanting to rise and leave
Wanting to leave it all down here
Choir of furies in my head
Amalgam of monsters under my bed
Infestation of red
from the back of my head
Physically six feet over
Mentally six feet under
Suffocating, hope is losing
Dying but still fighting

"inside out, you’re underneath"
"don’t let me be gone."
"i’m a goner"
"i want to be known."
those are the lyrics
that had my eyes in tears
that had my heart in pain
they hit so close
so close to home
they hit my heart
they hit my head
every part of me
felt this song
felt me knowing
that eventually
no one can fix me.
i want to know myself.
i don’t want to be gone
i have to stop myself
stop it from being gone.
"i’m inside out,
you’re underneath."
i have to get right side out
i have to get that underneath
back outside
my filthy mind
my filthy mind that won’t let me escape
i can’t take another day
feeling this way
feeling like i’m somewhere
stuck in-between
between these spaces in my brain

It is dark here
The folds of cloth sheltering
Smoke drifts by lazy in the air
The fear is present
Stay here
Stay underneath
It is safe here
My head rings loudly inside
Like a branding iron in my brain
Don't get up
The light makes it worse
Underneath is safe
Shut your eyelids
Let unconsciousness sweep the pain away
