Chasm Poems - Poems about Chasm

This is supposed to be my outlet. Emotions I claim are tainted pour out of me, And I call it art. This is what recovering looks like. Pages upon pages of words I’ve kept hidden from the world— This is what healing looks like. Feeling more and more, Just so the inspiration continues, Because, Creating feels better than existing ever did. So why is it, That...

Take of a turn of three time to talk of penumbra tales beneath a taramond tree trials and wailings of two lives in the vale The life of young from it infancy thence gradual, conventional neither fantasy the sweetest of them all to behold incomparable to an undelectable life of old The sun and snow that oldlings won't deign in them, we striplings all...

Here with walls green and bright My inn with fire’s warmth and light By a ravine low and steep An old man came in the night Hunched, disfigured, neither proud nor tall With a face shaped much like a wall Wishing to bridge the sides of the chasm deep A bridge builder was his call He asked for a place to stay Where in...

Deep,Deep in the chasm ,all wet and filthy . Longing to come out . Guilt and sorrow were my only companion . I had no one to tell of my agony. Oh! Life,"Why are you so cruel,why don't you get any better? As I was saying ,I saw a tiny spark in middle of the dark chasm . Then it grew...

According to the Scriptures, such unbridgeable chasm exists. Luke 16:26 of the King James Bible declares, “And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.” We are compassionately warned by...

Two of us an unbridgeable dark chasm; We strike sharp painful words full of sarcasm. Finger pointing away to the other. Imperfect we are to one another. We used to walk amid rhythmic towers, Youthful dreams and love each other for hours. Alone and forgotten, gracelessly through Melodic and rhythmic blankness askew. Two of us an unbridgeable dark chasm, No longer share the same...

Last night my thoughts dwelled in melancholy recalling what we once shared had been good before we made the mistakes of mutual folly and on opposite sides of a bridge we now stood You called, I answered. Both having need to talk but the bridge between us still kept us far apart Would one of us take the first step of...

I cannot count the physical bridges that I have crossed, but there are two that I have crossed repeatedly over a period of 40 years. My two most crossed bridges are The Golden Gate Bridge and The Sf/Oak Bay Bridge. I see an age-old separation of rich man and a poor man. Perhaps they represent one of many unbridgeable chasms. Jesus...

Do you yawn more when tired than when you've just woken up? This is the gaping gap of yawn's yolk in 'chasmology', the study of yawning! Why you do it, when, and what brings it on?

A brilliant sky - a hopeful day and night But broods and churns, the haunt of beast and plight. No kneading dough nor kneeling praise nor shout - Before the cross was laid, there’s no way out. The stretch between heaven and hell, no game. A farmer or preacher could not stake claim. With deep bruises, blood-red, the chasm has clout. Before...

A small hair-thin gap; this got widened like the Oman Gulf; Life, as though within the mouth of a ghost, did get engulf; No look; no smile; no speech; deadly movements performed like plays, Physique and psyche moved like monsters, in deserted ways...! Did we have unfeasible assumptions and surmises? Like water and vessels, do our hearts change shapes...

Contrary to what a dream might wish for, There are those, sometimes, who fail to see across That unbridgeable chasm, the one that leaves the heart Yearning for the light, the glistening of stars shining, The whisper of a sun reflecting all the wonders Found in those who understand, that even when Darkness falls over the whole land, there is the...
