Beneath The Amethyst Sky

Inspired by the quiet intensity of "La Petite Mort", this piece seeks to weave the sensations of release, stillness, and renewal into the natural world. The ocean’s rhythms—the pull of tides, the storm’s fury, and the calm that follows—become a reflection of the feminine experience, where every ebb and flow carries the weight of life, death, and rebirth.

Beneath the velvety amethyst sky,

The warmth of candles mirrors the stars up high.

Fireflies flicker with the same gentle glow,

Their light a dance, warm and slow.

Lavender thrives where the waves kiss the shore,

Its fragrance carried through the air, wanting more.

Aroma fills the chamber, sweet and pure,

Like coastal breezes, soft and sure.

The tide stirs within, gentle and deep,

In a quiet rhythm, the body begins to leap.

Like tectonic plates shifting far below,

Emotions rise, the currents grow.

The water swells, higher and high,

Pulsing and crashing underneath the sky.

A storm stirs within, fierce and untamed,

The waves rise up, no longer framed.

And as the body arches in time with the sky,

A hum of the wind escapes, carried on the night’s sigh.

Fingers dig deep, clutching the sheets,

Like roots anchoring earth in the storm’s fierce beats.

The stars align, the universe bends,

Whispering through the waves, as the body transcends.

In every movement, the cosmos entwines,

And the soul ignites as desire refines.

Then comes the unfurling, soft as the rain,

Quiet and calm, yet not the same.

The storm subsides, the ocean still,

In the stillness, everything is fulfilled.

And then, all fades—into velvet black,
The tides retreat, and stars pull back.
A fleeting hush, a cosmic breath,
Whispering echoes of life and death.

From the depths of the darkness, life stirs anew,
As waves regain their rhythm, true.
The soul awakens, whole as one,
Embracing the light as night is undone.
