Cavern Poems - Poems about Cavern

Wraith of the Cavern
The cavern breathes. Its walls slick with time, with damp, with secrets. It has seen centuries of footsteps, but tonight, it watches. Above, the sky stretches wide— galaxies shifting, burning, too far, too indifferent to witness what he has done. She is beneath him. Was beneath him. Her breath stolen, her body cooling, the fight long gone from her limbs. He had taken what he wanted. More than...

Cavern Calls
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 easy to just rest for a while here, beside the cavern walls, I'll...

Premium Member My Secret Cavern Pool
I have told no one about my secret cavern place There is no reason to hurry, there is no one to race. A world of imagination that soothes my soul. I leave my home hurting, but now I am whole. I can close my eyes and shut everyone out I do not have any reason to be angry or pout. An...

The Cavern of Sophia
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....

A Dark Cavern
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 wind Like playing a melodious flute tryst with red lips Once...

cavernously eerie echoes long dead frosted over and irritated grating silence cold as ice unforgiving, unyielding, just un….. woods feels disapproved, disrespected, unappreciated rock solid hush dispels possibilities slate and shale hiding teensy glimmers of mica shining like her ice heart cavern rules showing a presence that scares many...

Premium Member The Man In the Cavern and the Gypsies At the Tavern
Someone moved the rock And the village’s Gypsies were in shock Hearing it was a progressive move They sat at the bar wondering if this could be proved What was being blocked by this rock? A question was asked Each enjoying happy hour magic in their flask Apparently inside the cavern The Gypsies gossiped...

The Cavern Within
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 within a twilight Exploring ever deeper, your eyes fighting for...

Premium Member Enlightening Cavern
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 motion Crystalline icicle looking stalactites Meet and greet, ever growing stalagmites Multicolored water...

Premium Member Darker Than the Cavern, No Relief
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 in pleas unfulfilled, repentance was never willed. Dark city Hades in action forever gifting...
