Stale waters go deep.
Sneaky double mountain peaks,
Death environment
Inspired by Raul's Morning Ambience contest
Life was a burden till death set me free -
Now granite gravestone being hard on me?!

I,
Running
From here to there
But getting nowhere.

Sacred whispers of fortresses forgotten
heard no more in sandcastles begotten
Castle in the sand
indicates the location
A buried treasure
where once we sat and sunbathed
Lost to a watery grave
weather-beaten sign
driven down in dying weeds
forsaken headstone
oh nameless, forgotten soul
the Savior knows who you are
when the walls around us close,
we will sit around our meager light
until it burns into the dirt floor
and becomes a memory
Glory
The bold blood that bleeds
For glory, sacrifices
Of esteem for pride

angry clouds crying
over freshly-prepared grave
soldier is home now

Dead Babies
You know where
silence is complicity
insidious war crimes
dance in this vile air
Holocaust encore
Remembering them
is deep sorrow piercing the
inconsolable
heart that must weep to release
what the flesh can't overcome.
The Celtics called it "Samhain",
The day the Dead are seen.
The phases change their faces,
Like the moon on Halloween.

Never to see her again
I looked down
Wine of bloods holo
Flowing from my hands
Unto the devils abode
Whitest of Pyrenees days
Barrister Fahad Malik Dead.
Osama Nadeem Satti Dead.
Khalid Urf Guddu Also Dead.

snow covered gravestone
monument to lost childhood
cold harsh memories
abandoned hope, love and dreams
never a Christmas blanket
Just sittin' here rememberin'
The things we used to do
The places we would go.
Wonderin' how we got here,
To flowers on the grave.

My mom remembers visiting his grave for a half an hour
Bringing some fresh dahlias from Trader Joe's (his favorite flower)
Here lies Desi Arnaz, in the ground all alone
His wife sick of hearing, "Lucy, I'n hone!"
Not for the Epitaph 2 Contest
Gravestones lopsided
Forgotten behind the trees
Surrounded by grass
Sun crosses risen from earth
Crowned with some olive green mosh
I planted flower seeds
on my rabbit's grave
and they never came up.
But today, by the cross,
was a buttercup
and that is all I need.
We who will not last the day
Find time before the night to play.
The gentle laugh, the chequered gray,
The shadows usher starlit ray.
Write on my gravestone.
It was a typing mistake.
Not a random skip.
Rather, it dropped correctly.
Was neater than other lines.
"Voluminous sweet
She bought me one and then leave
On her grave I give".
Grieve, mimosa tree
Silky pink petals, a wreath
Create canopy
Guard love one, at peace, beneath
Your presence shall ever haunt
up close a face, death
a strangler, choking my breath,
here you are, my wife says,
time's up, your crime pays,
in the grave, she stays.
