cave

I know you've seen the empty cave
That echoes deep regret
For time lost here casts darker shadows
Than memory's silhouette
Sitting in that cave
Breathing claustrophobia
Friends become closer
This cave was haunted
I know because I was there
A distant light glowed and
Shivered under the shadows
The walls glisten with decay
And the chill sunk into my skin
On a new conquest, I embark Travel light I found the temple in the dark Wet, yet warm Beautiful stems Curl around my arm Deeper I go The water does flow I feel it in the walls
Can You See?
Have you
ever wondered
how a cave
would react
if light
would stream in
unashamed?
Could you imagine
the things
you could see
I don't like to admit to anybody
Not even myself
The dark thoughts that I have
They fester
They lurk
They're Irrational, but they seem to make so much sense
Fresh blankets of darkness settle across the stone cold ground
Eating away at the blinding light trying to break its way inside
Not a movement is made, not a sound is heard
…Just
The soliloquies in my heart and in my brain
are begging to be released
shouting loud, their words manifested on paper
relinquishing all that has been trapped,
like a caged bird or swirling wind in a cave.
Dead Man's Fall
that winds so high
the brackish crags
the deadly rocks
clear-cut sky
and the robber's den
Dead Man's Fall
above the stream
the stream that flows so clean
