Through hearts eyes

In the quiet hum of asphalt dreams, Every day she drives where the sunlight shines, Their eyes intertwine, a fleeting spark, Love ignites though the shadows mark. His gaze, a whisper, deep beneath her skin, A thousand words where silence begins, Though fate decrees they should not touch, Every exchange of glances means oh so much. In a world where love wears such tight chains, She finds solace in stolen light. Every passing moment, a heartbeat shared, In the depths of longing, their souls are naked. Daily she rolls by, her heart in flight, Chasing the glow of his eyes, so bright. In the quiet turmoil of love denied, They meet in the silence where dreams dwell.

My Name by gallindz, literature

Literature

My Name

in Italian means clean- in Spanish and Portuguese beautiful. Once filling up my tank with gas the attendant from Brazil, with a smile that made the sun appear said, Ah “Leenda”… beautiful- did you know that? and I didn’t, but for that moment I could speak Moon fluently and felt so light I had to hold onto the steering wheel to keep my body from sailing away to a foreign country. I thanked him for telling me and sometimes I think of that compliment, if that’s what it was… but in German it stems from the word Lind which means tender, and my mom, she was German and I always thought she named me for the famous song from 1945 but I’d rather think it was for tender, not beautiful because tender is how I remember the skin on her face, on my face when we hugged. ©LRO 2025

Question for the Past by PrRailgun, literature

Question for the Past

Have I seen the sycamore tree as it dances in the breeze? Perhaps, I note where they stand and dare see them every day, but their names lapse into vague words lost on the page. Wonder that turns through memories of youth and old. I have seen sage, I know that much. Some reveries certainly flicker up of time spent among them. Usually with the desert, too. As a climb recalls the pines who causally hug the mountain sides high, reaching up until the air is little. To tree line. A sort of teaching on limits to mind. Yet, whittle the hand might do to pass the light, yes, on an aspen branch now trash. By fire light, the knife dances in night carving a thing that will be ash before the stars can vanish fast. Yet, have I seen a sycamore, perhaps, maybe it was that vast branch work nestled right near the door. That strange tree sadly cut and lost which lived by my grandfather's place. Hard to say, who can say. It crossed that strange line and fell out of space.
