Long Stalagmite Poems

Grey Bane and the Dark Lord


Perched on a stalagmite jutting up from the floor
Hugo was staring at length across the cave
My eyes accustomed to the glow followed his gaze
Frozen in ice was my Love whom...

Germ of essence. 
Human blob. 
Shattered eggshell to the chicklet hatched.
Interlocking  family of a  kingdom.
Beget or begone? Antigone! 
Pouch bearing mammal  with no issue for her milk a plenty.
Enlightened species on

(Phu Pha Phet Cave)

The largest cave here in Thailand
Has an eighteen acres in total size

But if we’ll get in there, it’s a big surprise!

We need...

Quietly, at night, he descends in the cavern
Keeping his hand, tightly upon his sword
Squinting to see what may lie before him
Keeping careful to not utter a word.
He is on a quest, a personal vendetta,
This dragon...

we have lost the meteoric 
icy-blue, sky-fire 
above the heated planetary core 
of a thousand covered suns 
in the center of oblivion 

where confluence 
carries hope 
in warm symbiont souls 
and lambs 
wear ragged fleece...

O to be there again
Little boys dancing for calypso dimes
And the US marines, angelic in white
White rum frolicking in the chapel of their brain
Laughing like water on the ships grey side
Sons, fathers, husbands
Finding respite in...

A genie's lamp cannot compare,
To smoke awoken from my breath,
Slithered out in ancient swear,
Unshackled life from sudden death.

Hear me now in brazen bond,
Bow to me, before now still,
From truth ye once had to abscond,
In fevers,...

Never have I felt the sun shine
Or heard blowing wind speak
Within this cavern I align
Frozen in stalactite confine
I dream drips of dew drops unique
Formed by the sun I seek

One of the countless stalagmite
Protect the cavern...

They say that I write dark things
That I do not laugh again
That my words are like crows wings
And metaphors Noah's rain
They say my meanings blot the sun
There is no dance on the page
And so they...

What shall I say to you in sultry silence
Where love drips like stalagmite water
From the morning leaf of your defiance,
I've never seen words coralled a daughter
Then how shall deception coral a father?
Perhaps you will come...

My cavern bursts with bittersweet aura
— like globose berries, a cluster of tints.
The secret place — its musk, amidst the flora,
a limited conquest of feet — their prints.

Excitement rocks — I wade in hidden space.

You were the frozen stalagmite
Within my chest
Feeding my breast with toxic streams
Of unhappiness
Many wandered into my cave, and
Called you beautiful ...
The waste of rocks, the bleeding
Cancer of the land
You made the hole that sucked
The life...

dream me a day gone by, 
when the sun didn't refuse to fly,
when we knew, through and through,
that this tepid water could birth
ice cubes with stalagmite ridges.

and tell me now, lowest daughter
that peace...

Mountain crest frosted in cold snowy white
Sparkling with countless facets of pyrite
basking in the golden glow of sunlight
With feathered wings, to the top I'd take flight

Summit's beauty is enhanced at twilight
Shadows frame the majesty of...

My Lord,
I pray to You, 
You, who are my eternal stalactite, 
Imploring Your divine essence 
To let Your precious drops of 
Wisdom,
Upon my craving for knowledge soul,
One after the other, to fall

For

My earthly stalagmite,
With the...

Serendipity, pollywog, persnickety, lemon, hog and peach
For these words I like to use I will give you six cents each.
Onward and upward, supercalifragelisticalidocious I like too.
Feldspar, polka dot, sapphire, nonsensical, jubilation to name a few.

From an inch away, I feel the cold grace my way
Lost heat radiating from your words
But still I’m yours

Across mobile lines
Shivering my mind
But still I’m yours

I’m freezing but your thawing
Heating from this warm heart of...
