March blizzard blindside
Endless creeping stalagmites
Bears late to the feast...

a frosty icecap
left to her own devices
in the gelid blue of the subzero cave
added ambiance to the stalagmites...

Glimpse an empire in sweated palm burdened with pain centuries old; 
Horrors and stalagmites hang in beautiful tragedy Gods have told:
Within soil surrounding bluest calm, such memories you hold....

she bleeds deep inside -
a cavern of stalagmites.
her warm heart plunges
into an echoing abyss.

frozen swords clinging
icy shard-like stalactites
dripping in sunshine

Frozen
Struck by your hand
Gentle touch makes me stand
Between the eyes I'm captured
Enchanted I am, frozen ice raptured
Crystal dripping stalactites thawed
Stalagmites on ground awed
Then you vanished
Frozen...

Cloistered in this cavern where chandeliers hang crystalline

Adorning the vaulted ceilings to which

Varicolored stalagmites have so slowly climbed - I find

Exquisiteness etched by time -

Seclusion's serenity.

A spelunker he was
from adolescence on.
An outdoorsman

with the best equipment
exploring caves
one after another 

shining a big flashlight
as he weaved among the
stalactites and stalagmites

saying he would never
explore another cave 
once he found the right one.

He found that cave at forty,
sold his flashlight, 
married and settled down.

There survives a burg, strangled by,

A fume as thick as thieves,

Where soaring glass stalagmites screen,

The adroit aggrieved.

Skyscrapers and broad avenues,

Where vast trains shunt and squall,

Where soaring glass stalagmites screen,

The vestige’s caterwaul.

Where night tide is perennial,

The gargoyles chill and ward,

Aged curves and finials resist,

Thick gnarling walls contort....

Eden of my eye
Beauty in culture of ten million
Garden of my eye
Haven of brethren and sistren

Values never weakened,  in words spoken
Freedom strengthened, heritage golden

Sprinkled love in dynamite
Ceilings of heaven in stalactites
Grounds softened by stalagmites
Citizens' history, written in strobe light

Magnets of loving people
Ore of the grounds supple
Blanket of salvation
Tablet and core of the nation...

((Haiku))
Love seems endlessly
Then stalactites stalagmites 
Divorce comes for sure


((Limerick))
She walk down the isle smiling in white dress
In the courthouse in black dress, what a mess
Lovers dancing on the sand
Divorce and money in hand
Got her money's worth, who laughs last laughs best


((Couplet))
The guy thinks he can outsmart the girl
The girl knows after divorce she owns his world

Bats hanged in the roof of the cave as stalagmites 
Until a group of intrepid explorers started to explore
Hidden nature chamber covered with green ferns 

A waterfall crystalline stream flows as a manantial 
Bringing a spectacular outlook to the spectators
Refreshing from the intense temperature outside 

Hieroglyphs from indians still as silent witness 
From all the visitors that took the guided excursion 
Telling later to family and friends the adventure...

I can remember as a child
thinking then, snows were very deep,
that train trestles could touch the sky
and dad stood at least ten feet high.
With little legs standing in snow
Like twin stalagmites stacked and cold
certainly seemed deep, in my eyes.
Same could be said for train trestles;
Standing beneath them looking up,
It wasn’t hard to imagine
them touching that enormous sky.
Today standing somewhat stooped,
my octogenarian dad
remains that giant in my eyes....
