Short Crevasse Poems

Swimming When Hit By Smack,

You should have seen ocean smack,
Received on every cranny and crack,
Being crass;
Each crevasse,
Which would be from front to back.

slimy
and ugly
creepy crawlers
you can’t see them
in every crevasse
but
you know
they're there
lurking in the dark

he thankfully grazed on gravel and grass 
then suddenly heard the deafening blast
	now rests with fruits and nuts–
	gravy boat floats his guts–
and sausage dressing's stuffed up his crevasse

As she looked back through the truck glass
At the swing blown by the brisk breeze
In her small heart formed a crevasse
Did it heal or only reprise
Building 'til it became a trespass    ...

There are mountains I have traveled
where the roaring streams of life
have caught me in their torrents
down below the murky strife.
My feet denied a stony crevasse
in the deep canyons of desire;
now, once more I crest the summit,
absorbing sunlight's cleansing fire.

When you crept away in the icy cold,

You couldn't forgive yourself, maybe that's why 

I can't forget you or your love untold,

Each remembrance etched in life's crystal glass, 

Each memory carved in life's vast crevasse,

Those moments spent together, now I cry,

You're gone, crystals remain in our huge household.

Open Skin
Open Scars
Open wounds
Open feelings
Open souls
Open skin....
To glide the weapon across your skin to see the crevasse fill with red
A crime to yourself
A crime to humanity
A crime to all
Eternal rest as you whisper the the Wind
He calls your name and your secret desire flows within
Find love
Love is the answer
To all this pain
Forever && always,
Say no more...

Futuristic climes
Beckoning to surpass
Spurring inventive minds
Since moon crater’s crevasse
Once known world denigrates
Human kind expiring
Lost to predicted fates
Stupendous vanquishing 
fires onward challenges
Achievable data
Opens advantages
Kaleidoscope strata
Gravitational pull
Precludes events to plumb
Vessel christened ‘Virgin Wool’
Mankind decides outcome

Steely, stealthy moon
Sculpted milky dune
Sparkling silver spoon
Sitting in its cosmic shoon
Free-floating gaseous balloon
Diviner of the celestial room
Crevasse holds fabled man in spittoon
Residual sunlight doth carefully prune
To sailors on the high seas a boon
Beacon for nocturnal creatures to croon
Harbinger to vixen, villain, buffoon
Cover for miscreant, spinster and poltroon...

Focus on the looking glass

            descend into the deep crevasse

                         realize that nothing's true

                                 overcome with deja vu.

Realities are paper-thin

             and many realms exist within

                        countless doors through which we pass

                                    and one is through the looking glass....

To write from silence,
Merton's spoken silence--
True mind, free mind,
No-mind,
Land mine.

Dangerous territory
Errupts as the
Tenants of self get sucked into
The crevasse of freedom.

Like Moses sending the
Ten Commandment tablets
Crashing into the trouble makers' midst--
The ground opened,
The ground swallowed up
As Mother Earth took back her own.
Forty years of freedom in exile followed....

He caressed her slowly gently rubbing her body
Feeling the smoothness of her shape, every crevasse beckoning for his touch
Pride welled up inside him knowing she belonged to him and he to her
Sunlight glistening off her body, carefully he turned her over
for a moment time stood still as he waited for that sensation
the vibrations shook him as the engine roared to life
57 Chevy and man were one, life is good........

One of these day, I will
Retrieve what is lost and 
Plunge into those dark 
Crevasse, that is my gut. 

One of these days, I will
Surrender the ponderous 
Weight on my shoulder,
That doesn't let me move. 

One of these days, I will 
Load a gun from the past
And infiltrate my mind of
The memories, to forget. 

One of these days, I will
Set fire to the tiny heart 
You left behind and make 
You fall in love over again....

More vacuous verse to the void:
abysmal, of meaning devoid.
A reflexive spasm
sends more to the chasm
where anemic arts are destroyed.

Escaping, strange thoughts from my head
go written but largely unread.
Another deposit
to add to the closet
of words that are better unsaid.

So, in the crevasse this now lurks
with woefully wonderless works:
discursive digressions
regarding obsessions 
with muses and quixotic quirks....

In the burnt barren wasteland 
Once a graphic garden
I rise from the arms of ashes
A fortified sapling
Split the crevasse of desolateness 
Where I bloom a solitary rose
A pervasive singularity of creativity
Enclosed within the sublime soul
Fathomless as the cosmos
Timeless as the eternity
I unfurl for you in essence
The beauty of the universe.

As by revelation, moon unfolds
A sleeping angel mellows out
In a crevasse, naked
Dropping the apparel of foliage:
Hair drooped round his sinless face,
Engrossed there the toil of seafaring
Swarm of limpid sweat drops
Moving like dancers
As if after a ballet in summer storm
The crafty water flails
With deep foam
The baby of the earth
Destined for distant shores.

I bridged the gap
Therefore I haven't fallen into the great crevasse 
Pretty good going...
I'm happier unlost, not in a pit of despair 

Plus Strictly is on later
I'm going to experiment with taco making, am halfways through knitting a pumpkin and just bought a book with promises of being funny...

I haven't got up yet - but I'm totally going to

I'll sneak a poem on the end...

I can contemplate
or I can become better
I need to decide...

Alluring sunshine intrudes each crack and crevasse heart possessed,

Galvanized warmth within the veins of uncharted territories flow,

Debacle through delusion of tenderness and safety repressed,

Endear so the light as demoralize be the shadow,

Reversal of sunshine bliss to swallow as disloyalty is confessed,

Liars and cheats impersonating as igniting lovers tiptoe.
