I conquered the
Mt. Everest ofdistrust and
pain that kept anchored me down like a sunken ship in the Atlantic
your verbal abuse kept me off the radar
as I hid away my shame
my dismay was my watery grave
 
My lonesome journey was onerous
My arms and legs began to...

On Seeing a Photograph of Mt. Everest

By Elton Camp

Some things are better from a distance admired
I needn’t be “close and personal” to be inspired
I have no need to make any personal inspection
So as to develop an appropriate degree of affection

Mountain climbing would surely be last...

Glittering diamond summit,was only one day away.
Genetic characteristics,now coming to the fray.
Evaluating patience and a knack for fearing fear.
Drive ice-screw into crevice with the summit drawing near.

Speculative Winter sun,in a mortuary of blue.
Everest conquered only,by the very chosen few.
Snarling pit-bull winds with oxygen levels low.
Bar-headed...

The elegant lady dressed in blue,
Often changes her gown to orange hue,
In mornings she wears a golden glow,
At nights a diamond as white as snow,
What a beauty! May I know your name,
I am the alluring sky of all time fame,
I fell in love in the...

Pilgrims gather at base camp
kneel at her feet,
hypnotised in awe
of her beauty entranced,

strength, endurance 
tells of victory or retreat,
visions of glory
triumphant peak dance,

outdoor expedition
deceased exposed,
mind-numbing desire
to reach suicide zone,

adjacent to trash
well preserved corpse disclosed,
gruesome mile markers
some identities unknown,

preserved in bleak time
human ice sculptures rest,
buddhist prayer...

Climbed Mount Everest

Well my mate can't wait to celebrate
Only worry about fate when we are late
If a disaster it still does turn into
We just might be among the very few.

Maybe we have to go and then hide
Before they start of the downhill slide
And in private...

Too much crap coming with a high tax
Intentional not by chance
It's always been like that
Others talking behind backs
Especially after sipping out bottles from wine racks
It'll reach an end or climax
After a time lapse
Meanwhile it was in person or done behind glass
Having nothing or everything to...

In this godforsaken place, I felt disconnected
from the climbers around me--
emotionally, spiritually, physically…
Jon Krakauer pg 63 Into Thin Air

EVEREST

to breach topmost peak
one must reach
pittance of soul’s wit

bodies warmth
all but dead near climb’s
great escape

It's boring I tell ya, this life we lead
Each day's the same, it's a break we need
Maybe climb Mt. Everest
Over 200 have perished
Naw, gonna ski-doo up, ride down on a steed...

Every woman is Mt. Everest.
To win gold medal in contest,
climb from snow-capped peak
pass via area of volcanic eruptions.
You'll end in the rift valley,
the terrain of flowing rivers,
the land of milk and honey....

I stand on top of world. I’ve won!
I’m a statue frozen solid -
On tippy-toes I’ve reached the sun.

I took a showering from cloud.
I’m bitten up with frosty snow.
Too late for me to brag out loud.

This sunny sphere won’t help unfreeze.
On Everest, I’m cold of brain,
Too...
