Best Cavern Poems

Darker than the Cavern, No Relief

Darker
than the Cavern
opening gate into Hell,
the lost Souls, dead nights
with such unimaginable delights.

They seek mercy
where none can be had
an ending never found,
lost forever deep underground.

No Altar
to burn incense
a dark pit into agony lie,
caverns , dark and deep to cry.

Moans
that wail...

On a hot summer day in the hills
I went underground searching for thrills
Fifty Eight degrees year around
In the darkness, enlightenment was found
Down here is where it all began
Unearthed bones of earlier man
A small stream is what's left of the ocean
Hands of time, run in slow...

Frosty white grotto
Glacial incarceration
Diamond daggers hang...

Inside the darkest cavern
An amazing skylight shining in...

Deep cave under falls.
Stalactite rhythm echoes
From eons of drips.


Inspired by Raul's Rhythm of the Falls...

The echoes reverberate, bouncing off distant walls like little rubber balls
Until they slowly conjugate into a meaning that’s leaning towards sanity
Dripping with profanity, as it slides inside my mind with its insidious intent
Hell bent on creating distress, as the shadows begin to coalesce into solid...

You are my cavern,
I am your deep blue ocean,
Ebb and surge with me.

I, the stalagmite
You’re the stalactite, and I
Waiting you to fall...

A dark cavern 

Womb of cavern 
Dark and mysterious 
Like the dark days of war or a dark secret 
Stinking droplets of water coated the roof 
Stained with blood the dull walls 
Cries and agonies crashed to the ground 

Heart of cavern 
Longs for gentle...

The  Cavern Within

In a cavern so deep, no sound to be real
Peering into the darkness, fear so surreal 
Curiosity somehow drives you to the unreal
First step into the abyss, of what may revile 

Darkness envelopes, looking beyond the light
Each careful step, one slip, lost...

Dark columns of granite 
Soaring into the black
Like trees of unmeasured size
Deep under this planet
Deep with in a crack
Exists the caverns of cries

They echo with torment
Of one million souls
A cacophony of pain and hate
Spirits twisted and bent
Are hidden in holes
Behind a burning grate

The ground is...

Salvation of hollow-burrow, spaceful for life,
hiding and appearing engaged that day.
Seven Sleepers, unwanted companions,
pardoners, neither demigod-cyborg nor god.
Peaceful in retreat of folding nocturnal-diurnal.
Contemplation bleached the sinners,
restraining lust, abstinence for circular bell tolls.

The Cavern's Sleepers,
Sophia of hibernation,
tapa Barata....

Gaze inside this darkened cavern 
Random thoughts dripping aimlessly
Slithering down its dank walls 
Searching for acceptance yet finding none
Hidden now within this facade 
Images dressed for the world to see 
The real me bound and shackled 
Thrown naked and yearning 
Upon a satiny bed of...

Gleaming ice stallactites
Cover crystal cavern walls
Ready in a moments time
To protect and break and fall

Deep in the black in the back of the cave
The beast lies await in slumber
She always sleeps with one eye open
For those who come, will come in numbers

The frost begins to...

It's like I'm in a cave,
pitch black
with the echoes of each footstep reverberating across the walls,
sounding like a thousand footsteps,
all behind me
where am I,
am I lost?
They say so long as you hold on,
but it's cold
so cold
and the blackness surrounds me,
swallowing me whole
it would be so...
