Posted: 12/6/2006 10:40:48 PM | Welcome to Caly's Cavern
where anything goes
no special rhymes needed
just whatever you think flows
feel free to shed some light
on my dark and dismal space
help me to laugh and
put a smile on my face
or simply join the darkness
I sometimes like to dwell in
where no one can see the pain
I harbor from within
shed tears if you must
or scream and shout
do what you need
to let it all out
for I will not judge
what is right or wrong
I'll just be happy
you decided to tag along | |

Posted: 12/6/2006 10:51:09 PM | a rage unleashed
no bruises to show
words were his weapon
so no one would know
the violence she suffered
the fear in which she lived
the damage that was done
the soul that was deceived
lies that were told
day in and day out
became the truth
no longer any doubt
she lost herself
and her ability to choose
gone was her confidence
with each word of abuse
but she didn't see it
or recognise it as so
he disguised it as help
every word a verbal blow
but the damage was hidden
no one knew how she suffered
how her soul was beaten
by the man they admired | |

Posted: 12/6/2006 11:18:59 PM | thread springs eternal
in cavernous depth
welcomed I enter
I wonder of death
dingy insipid smell bodies decay
rotting flesh corpse
decompose where they lay
skeletal remains show the pain in their faces
an evil so vile there are still tell tale traces
of violent deaths at the hands of the unknown
Caly says "whatever, like my spooky new home?"
Welcome home calybrat | |

sewluv thanks for stopping in
hope to see you back again
and don't worry about those dry spells
I just suffered through one myself...

I originally thought erroneously that old souls
was suppose to mean we had to be old in years lol
but I'm working my way through and thoroughly enjoying it....
TiMwM thanks to you for your welcoming twist
I hope you won't mind the bodies in decay
perhaps I'll clean up sometime, but not today...
kayjo I know not what you speak of
when you mention Kelly Clarkson
but thanks for dropping in
I'm always happy to have a fan...
tenz thanks for the encouragement
and for stopping in... 'twas your words
that lead me to find a place of my own

that my mind does not once again run dry  | |

Posted: 12/7/2006 6:15:54 AM | Some of you may have already read this one as I wrote and posted it a few weeks ago in bobby's thread... but since it was written for my son I thought perhaps it ought to be here with me in my home...
What God Didn’t Take
Seven years ago today
I thought I would die
I love you was all I could say
not even a hello or good-bye
I lived though in pain
but a goodbye wasn't said
I'd still do it all the same
even though I could be dead
you were worth it all
any risk I could take
and each year I stop to recall
the decision I had to make
all the surgeries I went through
to assure you'd arrive
yet still no one knew
if either of us would survive
everyone else told me no
don't take the chance
it was my choice though
and I held my stance
and today at dawn
as the sun began to rise
and I stifled a yawn
I didn't think about goodbyes
instead I thought about
baking your cake
how things turned out
and what God didn't take.

Posted: 12/7/2006 3:09:30 PM | she was dubbed a princess
she had everything it seemed
nothing to want, need, or desire
no reason to dream the way they saw it
but in reality she had nothing at all
just material things anyone could have bought
yet she wore a smile and let them all believe
for by all appearances a princess she could be
but behind closed doors an evil lurked
that she hid from those in the outside world
embarrassed, not wanting them to know
the pain and emptiness she suffered on a daily basis
and she never thought to openly dream
or to think on her own of what could be
she simply lived and did as she was told
being whatever it was they deemed necessary
but in secret she would dream of things to be
of all she wanted, needed, and desired
so simple one would have thought they were
but in her world they existed not
she lived a life without that which no one could see
she lacked the love of a parent for their child
hugs and kisses and wishes of sweet dreams
word's of encouragement as she journeyed through life
so a princess you may believe her to be
but really she's just a lonely child
struggling to survive the darkness
her world is shrouded in.... | |

Posted: 12/7/2006 5:07:54 PM | I know this lady fair
of which you chose to speak
I felt her trail of tears
rolling down my cheek
I heard his angry voice
echo in my ears
as she spoke of suffering
the lies, unspoken fear
No scars run any deeper
then the ones you cannot see
excuses and apologies
vengeance dumped on thee
Familiar are the rantings
he aimed towards her heart
destroying all her self esteem
as confidence departs
Nothing doth hurt more
then blame unjustified
and the pain from her soul wishes
that his eyes would open wide
And he would finally see
that her soul he'd torn apart
with the venom he did spew
as he finally broke her heart
However he will never see it
ownership he denies
as he claims to be the victim
and this her last demise
She chooses to grasp freedom
and walks towards her door
until finally on the other side
She hears his words no more | |

Posted: 12/7/2006 6:36:17 PM | Congrats Caly... I love to explore new places and as my torch
light my way into this cavern, I see friendly faces and well known smiles,
...
I leave here my torch lit, for sometimes when you are in a cavern
all in darkness, you may forget you are accompanied 
No screams this time,
no pain...
...but a warm to you! | |

Posted: 12/7/2006 10:25:18 PM | havebait? what else can I say but wow very nice write!! Thanks for sharing it... I can't help but think you have a fairly good grasp of what I speak of... tis nice to know others understand. I hope you'll stop back again!
PoetFriend... thank you for your kind words and for leaving your torch... hope you will visit again soon and keep the torch fires burning =)
TiMwM tis nice to see you back again but no need for sorry :)
by the way...
what was that you heard?
for I hear it too
it echoes and bounces
off the cavernous walls...
ringing in my ears
bones being rattled...
the dust being stirred?
right now I'm a lil unsure
what's hidden here
but as the cobwebs
are cleared away...
do you think you will fear
what it is that's discovered?

Posted: 12/7/2006 10:38:11 PM | It's 3am and once again I lie here alone
I toss and turn as sleep eludes me
I glance around and my eyes land on the phone
He's won't call, he's with her you see....
I married a man with a mistress
she's not really quite a woman
she's worse then that I would guess
but she won't ever love him like I can...
He tells me to understand and be strong
I knew all along it was her he was devoted to
but sometimes I can't help that it feels wrong
and dwell on the fact that there's nothing I can do...
She told him they were leaving today
He didn't hesitate or ask her where or why
or give any thought to my dismay
he just stopped in to pack and say good-bye
If it weren't for this ring that I'm wearing
I'd swear it was her that was his wife
but I try not to think about the sharing
or how she always comes first in his life
Unfortunately I know things won't ever change
She'll always be there demanding more and more
and perhaps you find this all too strange
but I bet you know her.... she's called the marine corps | |

Posted: 12/7/2006 10:39:16 PM | | Calybrat... that which is easiest to write about is that which is familiar. I will be happy to return. I've enjoyed your writes in other threads and am so glad you have a place to call your own now! Happy Housewarming! | |

Posted: 12/8/2006 6:25:06 AM | Nightmares are all I've had for awhile
but last night oh my what a dream
and how nice it is to wake up with a smile
instead of always waking in the midst of a scream
to be free even if only for one night
of the demons and monsters that haunt me
when its time to sleep and I turn out the light
is such a treat that I'm filled with glee
so I just had to stop by and drop a line
before I went off to start my work
and perhaps later when I have more time
I'll write of my dream where demons did not lurk | |

Posted: 12/8/2006 1:17:44 PM | Hmmm.....feeling a little cavernous
flood of black
screeching bats fly
darkening the evening sky
sounding sonar radar waves
in emptiness of hollow caves
bouncing echos steered libidos
catching blackflies and mosquitoes
..ah..gah..bug..ah..boo.. | |

Posted: 12/8/2006 4:37:36 PM | Twilight in this quiet place
the darkness looms and fills the space
black beyond the thought or color
looms just around the nearest corner
but adventure is what life's about
and with blind hands you feel things out
cold and soft and wet and strange
trying now to rearrange
the way you 'see' things in this place
let confidence leak in and replace
uncertainty
and suddenly there's something to see
a light ahead, the faintest glow
amplified by cellings low
and by the singularity
of complete unyielding clarity
i'm learning lessons in the dark
but light reminds me, with one soft spark
that sometimes the best things we feel
are best because the worst is real
and good things happen anyway
unexpected but still here to stay
nifty new thread Cally! | |

Posted: 12/8/2006 4:46:17 PM | ONE MORE DAY
I MET A MAN, WHO DIED TODAY,
AND THE ONLY THING THAT HE COULD SAY,
WAS OF ALL THE THINGS,THAT HE WOULD MISS,
WAS THE WOMAN HELOVED AND HER SWEAT KISS,
HE HAD LOVED HER FROM THE FIRST,
THE SIGHT OF HER HAD QUENCHED HIS THIRST,
BUT HE HAD WANTED JUST ONE MORE DAY,
TO SAY THE THINGS HE HAD MEANT TO SAY,
OF ALL THE TIMES SHE MADE HIM SMILE,
AND HOW THEY DANCED THRU THIS WORLD AWHILE ,
OF HOW SHE BRUSHED AWAY HIS TEARS,
AND KEPT THE WORLD FROM ALL HIS FEARS,
AND WHEN I THINK OF THAT OLD MAN,
AND ALL THE LOVE THAT THEY HAD HAD,
I THINK OF YOU AND I APART,
AND HOW I WANT OUR DAYS TO START,
OF HOW YOUR HAND HAS FELT IN MINE,
AND THE LOVE WE SHARED IN A VERY SHORT TIME,
I KNOW YOU NEED SOME TIME TO PASS,
AND YOU SAY IVE LOVED YOU MUCH TO FAST,
BUT WHEN IM LAID UPON THAT BED,
WILL ONE MORE DAY BE ALL IVE SAID

but I bet you know her.... she's called the marine corps
Caly - for you...
I met a woman today seventy years old
she rode in my cab on her way to the mall
she was lonely and needed to talk
she told me of her love
how she will always miss him
...you see, he died in Vietnam
I shared with her your poem
about your husbands mistress
she cried, and I knew instantly
that I felt love for her
she wanted to see your poem everyday
because she understood
she said "please can I have it?"
I said "it does not belong to me"
She simply replied, I'll frame it...
and hang it in my heart forever | |

I HEARD YOUR VOICE IN THE DARK OF NIGHT,
IT CAME UPON THE WIND;
YOUR VOICE IT SEEMED TO CALL MY NAME,
IT WHISPERED BE MY FRIEND;
UNTO THAT VOICE MY SOUL DID WAKE,
I HEARD IT THROUGH A CLOUD;
I WAS LYING WITH MY EYES STILL CLOSED,
I SPOKE YOUR NAME OUT LOUD;
THEN I DREAMT YOU WERE HERE WITH ME,
YOUR BREATH WAS IN MY EAR;
THAT VOICE IT SANG A SONG OF LOVE,
IT HELD NO TRACE OF FEAR;
THEN YOUR VOICE CALLED OUT MY NAME,
IT SPOKE IT SOFT AND SWEET;
IT SAID NO MATTER HOW APART WE ARE,
ONE DAY OUR SOULS WOULD MEET;
THEN I DREAMT YOU WERE IN MY ARMS,
YOUR BODY TOUCHING MINE;
TWO CLOSER SOULS WILL NEVER MEET,
THAN IN MY DREAMS THAT NIGHT. | |

tenz... sigh do I have to admit you durn near brought tears to my eyes??  my marine corps poem is one I wrote several years back and since I couldn't come up with much I thought maybe now was the time to finally let someone else read it.. I'm very glad I did, Thanks again and feel free to drop by anytime 
btw here's my poem about my dream that I mentioned this morning....
I dreamt of blue skies
and fields of wildflowers
where I could dance
and feel the breeze
No tears in my eyes
I smiled for hours
happy for the chance
to end the freeze
what a pleasant surprise
to discover the powers
of a natural romance
in dreams such as these | |

Posted: 12/9/2006 3:23:32 PM | my head is pounding
still they wont stop
screaming
ranting and raving
I just want peace
no screaming
fighting and crying
please put an end to
the screaming
whispering and praying
make em go away
stop screaming
hitting and kicking
now I've had it
I'm screaming
pounding and pounding
my head won't stop
screaming | |

| Caly's Cavern
Posted: 12/9/2006 4:59:27 PM | filled with rage
emotions out of control
ready to scream and shout
I'm sick of this hole
with no one to talk to
and no one to listen
I'm to tired to shout
tears in my eyes glisten
rage turns to emptiness
thats all I have in my soul
lost in this world
my life out of control
all I want is someone to listen
and judge me not
but there's no such person
so instead I sit here and rot | |
