Timeless Cave
Timeless Cave

Hidden deep out of time on a limestone cliff
its entrance for the ages concealed
paw prints of cave bears on soft clay ground
and smoke-stained walls it harbored

but deeper, still deeper, farther in time
earth’s ancient origins still beckon
for an artist his palm prints left and man’s...

Premium Member Claustrophobic Cave
When r e a l i t y feels like
a poisoned paradise, 
trapped in a claustrophobic cave,
strangling my spirit
with ice-cold claws of fate,
I close my fatigued eyes,
attuned to the mellifluous
flames of the moon-wings,
detached from the gravity
pulling me six feet below,
chained to a casket of chaos,
adorned...

My Man Cave Closet
In my man cave, is a closet
Which would spawn horrible critiques
Totes full of old computer parts
Some of which my be antiques

Various plumbing parts abound
But Lord knows I'm not a plumber
Game parts, tools, nuts, bolts and nails
Old clothes from winter to summer

There is some work out...

Deep Moon Cave
In the deepest river caverns, in the furtherest chambers of my soul,
       There are secrets hidden there that can ne'er be told.
Secrets of another life, another way, another time.
       Secrets hidden for eons...

A Return To the Cave
I retreat to my own cavern now and then
One that is unknown to all the modern age
A pristine cave that swallows all my cares when
The cacophony of life borders on rage
Pastel stalactites have dripped long before men
Groveled on this planet in quest of a wage
Brightest...

The Beast of the Cave
When I was young, and adventure routine,
With excitement and newness still unforeseen
I was eager to spread my wings to the world
And seek more adventures as those wings unfurled

Within my long travels I happened to meet
Two other men, with friendships replete
One was named Beckett, the other...

The Sacred Cave At the North
Far far away from the known lands
My eyes discovered a sacred cave 
Located at the North

I walked
And passed 
By many other sacred caves
Seen at the 
South
East
West

And finally, 
I arrived at the sacred cave
At the North

It was a very long and rough journey
Other caves whispered craving...

A Cave Man Day
A Cave Man Day

One day long ago a cave man slept uncomfortably
The brutal sun, good for nothing, woke him up abruptly
Ants crawled all over his body and began to bite
He ate every one of them one by one
Using his fingers and his thumbs as utensils
There...

Slavery Cave
I am a slave
Inside my cave
I am the master
Inside my soul 
What I define	
It is said the freedom
I am free
Governed by myself

Who is that myself
I wanted to know
When I felt that I am a slave
In my cave

I am not a master
Now I found
Master is you
I...

(Phu Pha Phet Cave)

The largest cave here in Thailand
Has an eighteen acres in total size
It is not that easy for us to find
But if we’ll get in there, it’s a big surprise!

We need to explore first the side of the mountain
Be patient and...

This Cave Is Mined
Surrounded by the Bay of Conception
Bell Island anchored for miles perception
Deep deep under the mine that was drudged
Remnants of rail blind horses that tugged 

Not the mainland but off Canada's shore
The iron ore mines that are no more
Deep in the ground of old Newfoundland
To far...

There once was a crude Irish knave
Who hid deep within Fingal’s cave.
He felt it safe there to flee,
Thinking “naught could get to me”
Until swept away by a wave....

Premium Member A Light At the End of the Tunnel
"What a fine day for a picnic," my friends all said,
In the dog days of summer, with the hot sun overhead.

We would all go for a swim, and then have a fine lunch,
And would return refreshed and happier, we had a hunch.

So, we headed for...
