Best Canyons Poems

She dwells in deep canyons cold and dark
To ponder a mystery that haunts her soul
Which leaves confusion and doubts in heart
The loss of confidence now takes its toll

To ponder a mystery that haunts her soul
Which renders sleepless hours through the night
The loss of confidence now...

Oh how sweet warmth would gently fade
cast shadows on the games we played.

Dusk's chatter-patter playing hide and seek
under streetlight curfew lamps
unspoken call to home.

Wild laughter of the “last tag” challenge
beneath soft yellow-windowed eyes
days dirt relinquished begrudgingly
precursor of soft goodnight sighs.

Darkness closing in
sleep blanketing life’s moments
eyes...

I long to lead you to the psychosis of your existence;
toward the ill repute of your identity, something amiss reaches for meaning.

I would rather wish you gone before too much is said.
I would rather wish you gone before too much is said.

I long to lead...

Some love stories make you ponder
how you got this far.
Others make you want to wander
guided by a star.

Roll on thunder, roll on night
never let me sleep.
That's an over-rated right
and I've no soul to keep.

Loved too easily it seems-
my heart kept beating faster.
Through the canyons of...

Two cowboys hungry and exhausted
weren't ready to challenge the canyons ahead;
one complained, " We need water! " The other yelled,
 " We must be vigilant and alert,
we need sleep! " Indians are treacherous and wild! "  
They wait for us towards sunset! "
" I...

In canyons of glass and steel,
the peregrine is hunting.
Her wildlands have vanished
and her forests are gone.
But what is it to her
if her prey runs toward trees
or cliffs… or if it flees
through canyons
of glass and steel.
Is it any easier 
to feed her child
on the asphalt plains?
Is...

Canyons Of Clouds

Canyonous clouds seen from above
Plane, sky, and occupants, bank left
Dip beneath the giant pillars going down 
Jet pulls up right, on the wing
In the dance of flight
Swaying this way and that
Nature calibrates maneuvers on the descent
Through rain it hides in mist
In whispers it...

Deep ravines of the land
   mirror the deep ravines 
inside us all 
Canyons where the remnants
   of past ages
can be seen 
They have left their mark in stone 
Another age 
Another time 
When things were 
    vastly different...

In the thick of the night
When I’m awake and can’t sleep
With shot of whiskey I read something light
Into western lands I creep
Traveling shadow canyons deep...

White is the color
of the majestic canyons,
the river still flows
as snow sparkles on rocky bends...
profound silence extends far....

Canyons
By David J Walker
 
 I'd like to see inside myself
I know there are canyons 
Gone unwandered
 It makes me feel a very far-off thought
That begins on a distant shore
 I’d like to know Where to begin
But the beginning is in the past
 I wonder...

Lost in dyslexic canyons
David J Walker

Washed in the flight  
Of a red-ish glaze 
The neurons bathe in
Their own light

Sometimes unable to translate 
The sights and
Sometimes the sounds 
That surround the visions of 
What could be

It’s how I see the world
From my view 
Lost in...

The canyons dim, the canyons dark,
fast river churning at its heart;
the canyons sheer, the canyons steep,
trees cling to walls, ready to leap;
the canyons tall, the canyons wife,
voice echoes on the other side;
the canyons long, the canyons rough,
running those rapids would be tough;
the canyons air, the...
