Just heads up, this poem is about Luray Caverns so the names in here are rock formations :) I'm entering this into a contests so Tell me what you think and Thank you for reading!!
Caverns of Introspection and Solitude
The elusive muse, God--
intrinsic as the calcium ingots of Luray.
He slumbers beneath a quilt of millions,
and my incredulity waxes like a titian moon.
Stone, stone, is my mind--
Housed in a subterranean sepulcher,
she breeds my coma in Saracen’s tent,
trickling seclusion, the sweetest water
that erodes my senses in tandem.
The stalactites of thought testify:
“this is the double-edged sword.”
Nestled in Pluto’s chasm, I wear the veil of Titania:
My face pure calcite, a myriad of lambrequins,
I am what I set out to be:
safeguarded within the stalactite lockets,
though the limestone fetters encase more than they release:
thoughts remain flies in amber.
O old cave whose Dream Lake reflects its
own splendor yet serrated corrugations,
Your poisoned chalice seduces me still.Do you guys like this poem?
Sorry but I just think you are trying to impress by using words that hide your meanings instead of providing the images you are looking for.
