MY ETERNAL STALACTITE



GOD,
My eternal stalactite, 
Let THY precious drops of 
Wisdom,
Upon my craving for knowledge soul,
One after the other to
Fall

Thus

My stalagmite,
Layer after layer,
Towards 
THY heights to
Raise

And

From THY point of truth,
Enable me, 
TO SEE ALL!

Injured by an Ice Cube

Injured by an ice cube
'Tis hard to comprehend,
removal from it's tray
a spike of ice extends.

This dagger like stalagmite
did pierce my very skin,
a chilling site, believe me,
and much to my chagrin!

Some blood did run, yet briefly,
a smallish wound you see,
same ice that did the spearing
I used for healing me!

Premium Member Limestone Heart

Limestone-hearted eaten away 
by God's eternal, feral rain. 

Stalagmite preachers in full royal bloom.
Igniting fanged candles to temper the gloom.

Memories choked with thorny-throated weeds.
Half-hearted souls, blue marbled eulogies...
  
Truly, time chisels flesh into raw stone.
Fluted memories are forged from the bone.

Snake congregation bearing footfall refrain.
Limestone-hearted forever... a mad harlot to the rain.

Birthday Unicorn

The unicorn was soaring high;
I watched it fly across the sky.
A regal beast of snowy white,
Its horn was like a stalagmite;
Its wingspan took my breath away.
I smiled with joy to hear it neigh -
But then I spotted on its back,
A grinning rider, dressed in black:
PD was out with her new pet;
She waved and zoomed off like a jet.
And as they flew towards the sun,
I knew her birthday would be fun.

Jack Horne, with love to PD on her birthday ***

Premium Member Enormous Frozen Stalagmite Icicle

my frozen tundra
stalagtite icicle
protected by snow

winter residue
her fantastic confidence
regally standing

solid and secure
overseeing the village
guarding the mountain

winter protects her
carefully keeps her secrets 
adding extra strength 

she enjoys brief reign
glistening in frozen truth
spying on others

a dazzling glow
many come to worship her
rever her coldness

wishing she could stay
a frosty benefactor 
winter creatures hide
