Your words cave in
to my ear canal,
each laud casting lines
slight of fate.

I live this life
as a fish woman,
with my tackle box 
full of bait.

There once was a cave man named Morris,
Who lived in a cave in the forest.
He was undone one night
By his huge appetite:
He devoured an entire brontosaurus....

Little Teddy was so awfully thin
His poor legs were no wider than a pin
   He ate six meals a day
   Straw, barley, oats and hay
Indigestion made his stomach cave in...

Funny depressed
Seek refuge in the soup
When your heart beats to fast
And ghost's crawl the walls
Slowly dim the light 
Till your boxed in a corner
Watching the entrance cave in
Am I afraid?
Yes I am
I am holding my own hand...

If I but find a deep dark cave in some remote a cove
Oh, I’ll curl up on a bed of leaves and hibernate like the bear
to lie dormant all seasons through in this sweet sanctuary.

my brain says to itch
I meditate not to itch 
mind over matter

the longer I don't
my mind is a raging mess 
mind over matter

I cave in to itch 
I scratch and scratch and scratch - awe 
mind over matter

Fate and desire 
Conquering many fires 
Summing up the trials 
Into a wholesome yearnings 
Though the heavens cave-in 
the sun loses his face
The duo held on 
With a tireless zeal
Poking faith with a stake 
daring fate to its face
With a relentless vision...

hit rock bottom
fell into a whole 
of one's own making 
created from years 
of mistakes that 
have pilled up 
atop one another 
creating an emotional 
cave in creating a
grand canyon sized 
whole to be constructed 
within the land of 
the past self's missteps...

one year ago the darkness started to cave in
I was losing control until she came along and pulled me out
she saved my life and gave me hope and a strong sense of 
love and compassion and now here I am this year starts tomorrow and its been 
the happiest time in my life 

 Cheyenne I love you...

seven below zero
      silent angels
cold prayers


darkness falls on snow
      fumbling
for my keys 


metrodome cave-in
      vikings lose their home
pillage detroit town


frost-bit
      mountain climbing
your forgotten love


windblown snow
      covers my tracks
am I here?...

we keep our own promises
why do some cave in
second target of guilty strings
for the reason you denied being me
I as I
me for me
Now your blind
and still you see
what was
what was
it is that way
it shall pass
with us
transforming today
god lives through us
as we believe the futures we're shaping, humbly...

as we all play our part in life 
events beyond our control 
can take you down 
you can fall into yourself 
cave in 
but when I close my eyes 
I can see  
your sweet face 
gentle blue eyes 
feel my breath on your skin 
melt with the heat of your touch 
eyes wide open brings truth 
as my heart aches with raw pain 
unbearable loss...

Fear of love and dread losing love
My body desires your flesh
My soul calls for your spirit
My eyes wants to see your smile
My skin desires your tender touch
My heart hopes for true love 
My mind does not allow me to gamble
and cannot cave in to your charms
I regret to lose my love
I dread of being right
Time will let me know
when i have lost love...

Drops of hues on dews
Your vibrant doors are in bloom
Gone is all my gloom

######

It’s time to unlock
Drop my time-stopping letters
Sooner than later

######

Rain is at your door
Moments won’t come back again
Greet it in your veins

#####

Wide eyes at the door
I’ve to get down from the train
To cave in still more…

Imagine a cave in which you see yourself. There are many versions of you there. For example, you having 8 beers, you reading a book, you doing a drawing, you listening to music, you doing many things. A dozen versions of you, a hundred, a thousand. All unaware of each other. They can't talk but can they see each other? Or are they oblivious to each other? Is this cave real or in your head?...

I have a paper due on thursday
and i haven't started
Bills pile up like laundry
Specking of drity clothes, I'm wearing my last pair of underwear
and my heart hurts
not emotional, phsically,
like its about to cave in
been look for a job the last few weeks like christians have been look for Jesus
Not enough bus fare to get to class
My head is pounding
...and the hunger doesn't help....

Hide me in the brightest love
in the deepest corners of your arms.
Just a look ....
Your face tends to lift me off
somewhere other than here,
a thousand miles away.
I don't feel the world is gonna cave in,
I'm in the lightest parts of you
taking it in.
Let this not pass. 
It's more than a good feeling,
I transcend and surpass the hurt.
And I'm glad that for a while
this could last....

Never let your life become mundane
Whatever you have witnessed
There are more wonders to see

Life has barely read a chapter
So turn over the page and as you do
Look carefully and it will set you free

Age doesn't make you any less a child
Your eyes have been open longer
But no less susceptible to awe

Love has an ageless soul
So let your heart cave in
See life's beauty and love once more...

when i sleep i fa into slumber
then i awake with what  seem 
seems to be  the worst headache
the walls cave in
i need to satisy my hunger
im in my own hell of demons
no need for heaven
somewhere theres a place for me between
a world thats not forseen
whats on my mind
a terriable fate thats left behind
when i sleep at night
the walls creep in my demons insight
though frightfully its a sin
sometimes its just there i have to give in...

A late night howl
cuts the moon in half
the stars hide deep
within nights' breast..
A fraying of sanity
in the coming days
oh... the salted irony
of a newborn grave

A crush of blue blasts in
as gilded thoughts flee
spring nests cave in
to the icy throat of elegy

All have an invitation
to the rabbit hole lounge
where hearts impale upon
the face of 90 proof clowns

A test of faith-the holymen say
but even they'll dread their final day...

Don't trust
Don't be one of them
Don't wait till it's too late
And then cave in
Keep your head on straight
And always know
People will change
Their face in the show
Don't be a fool
For a charming smile
A two-faced mind
Will make a smile lie
Don't think you have it all
And settle in so easy
They'll make you feel at home
Then be quick to deceive you
Just keep your head on straight
And always know
People will change 
Their face in the show...
