Caves Poems - Poems about Caves

Uncle was a spelunker drove to the caves in his clunker (it was quite the junker) without a sound he sunk underground pitch black as night and on his hat a bright white light (the switch it was waterproof) to see which stalagmites might reach the roof where stalactites clung on tight unafraid of bats flitting around never flunking Uncle loved going down but sorely and sad to say on one of those getaways a...

In the chambers of the caves, I sought refuge from all the moral forgeries spreading over the land. Holding my lamp aloft, I pursued solace in childhood alcoves. In the chambers of endless caves, I explored myriad twisting pathways longing for the playful mirth of recall. But Cerberus confronted me, snarling, preventing my passage beyond his gate. In the...

Hollow inside, Outside hard stone Some one entered this cave Sparkled some glitter Cleaned old sins Started new story...

Aunty lost three pounds of memory, it happened slowly, the clock on her mantle ran faster, the rain began to fall slower. Her cat was a stranger, then an ex-lover. 1300 grams of her vanished in slow motion. The gray-matter remained though it was hollowed out by blind angels. At the age of eighty-two she demanded a dog. We bought her an automated...

in the caves where the water flows i hum a tune that crept into my mind from way back i wish that she could have come, but she is still healing i wish that she could feel this, but she is still dealing in the caves where the water flows i close my eyes in complete disbelief i only dreamt about...

Cave of wonders, Caverns so deep, Through vast rooms I wander, So many secrets to keep. The path tightens, The corridors weave, Mysterious sounds frighten, Seeing the magic others see, Deeper down I go To unknown steps below, Exploring further and anyone’s been, There seems to be no end. Stalactites hang from above, Their beauty alone is enough, Walls covered in draperies, Millions of years of Earth’s memories. Deep pools of...

Once lit by flickering torch light with animal tallow mixed with ocher daubed on subterranean rock walls now lit by streetlights or LED headlamp slashes of spray paint and magic markers splattered on concrete bridge abutments, boxcars, or walls of tenement ghettos, but the message is the same we were here....

Aunty lost three pounds of memory, it happened slowly, the clock on her mantle ran faster, the rain began to fall slower. Her cat was a stranger, then an ex-lover. 1300 grams of her vanished in slow motion. The gray-matter remained though it was hollowed out by blind angels; in those dimly lit caves flew two storks carrying two infants forever now circling a...

Where the waves break And sea foam rises The crisp sound of the ocean Echoes in the cavernous openings Of private oceanside caves. Waters rise and recede As time passes through. Sunlit moments slightly shaded By rock shadows floating by. Caressed by tropical breezes, Spritzed in salt waters, My soul is peacefully content In this wide open space Where the skies and water kiss The infinite horizon, And the message...

Melting by Michael R. Burch Entirely, as spring consumes the snow, the thought of you consumes me: I am found in rivulets, dissolved to what I know of former winters’ passions. Underground, perhaps one slender icicle remains of what I was before, in some dark cave— a stalactite, long calcified, now drains to sodden pools whose milky liquid laves the colder rock, thus washing something...

Ocean potion healing elixir weightless floating free Unlinked From chains of heavy burden where One can finally breath Out the old and in the new rejuvenate the mind cleansing body , close your eyes , pretend that you are blind . Just Listen , smell and feel it’s movement caressing rhythmic motions cradles with a mother’s...

The night sky is ablaze with stars and planets like Venus and Mars. A sight, unseen in the city, for background lights obscure our view and what stars we see, are but few. It is a modern-day pity, stars are so difficult to see. Sailing in an ebony sea, there is nothing quite as pretty. Like crystalline gems sparkling bright billions of stars light up...
