Best Mausoleum Poems

“When trust is a walking phantom, 
draped in dying dandelions, 
let the wind blast forth its shattered promises,
as rain rinses away piercing pain of memories lost” Quote by Poet

the sky is a catacomb
of faceless promises and ghosts
clothed in tangled treachery
as trust is a wilted tulip~
embalmed...

‘Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust’

(No one is going to bust up MY insides,
sew my eyes and mouth shut,
drain my blood and pump me full of fluid
then seal me up in a concrete drawer)

Mama I was so young, so very young
So very...

THE MAUSOLEUM OF ALL

Africa is the burial chamber of many,
Millions of men and women rested in peace,
The deepest hole full of important bones,
The bones of *****sapiens are in the graves.
 It is the cradle of humankind.

Africa the sepulcher of our ancestors,
“Rolihlahla Nelson Mandela, Emery...

For you our love was neither strong nor real
But I had both wild fears and odd hopes.
And now in my soul there's a mausoleum, 
It's a remembrance of the joy we lost.

How can I bury all those golden feelings
That you woke up in my heart?...

Oh longest time it seems yiv dreamt, me Mausoleum Man,
Coffed in Mummy's charnel home stove 'round your stonewings' span.

You Monk brod in yar bunkous cell, 'tween sellow stone sainwalls,
All hued in Olden Woldic green by lichen spattered greenfalls.

You Embalm-ee bequested: just unnatural light for me;
So...

Crooked teeth upon rotting smiles....

Bearing their canines for the throne to behold

The petrified flesh of these fruits they share

Decomposing souls, which might have once been

Had they ever learned? Had they ever known?

Caught within these crowds of invisible things

Chasing leviathans Loch Ness dreams....

While the martyred they...

Dead end Cemetary plots
Loved ones hold near
Treasuries of memories
Of that person sweetly and dear

I cannot let go of him so near

He was a special gent
Always said 
"How Do You Do?"
no matter where he went
Sleeping silently,my friend
In this Mausoleum White
Photographs and articles about
It still brings upon...

The mausoleum echoes my soft steps
Down long corridors of marbled crypts –
My father loved to hike and fish.

Stairs, a left, then right and at the end,
On a lower tier, I find his name
William – but only one ‘L’ remains.

I gently touch the name of he...

    Media Tabloid Vixen.
You seem to speak as if from the grave,
a crosswired rig of McGyverse psyops in a 
disguised Ministry of Truth Museum Mausoleum.
Report with vampires of halitosis, ad nauseum.
In the dark depths of silence, where truth lies 
concealed in sound-bites...

Weathered black veined granite walls
Built so many years before
Moss covers the slippery walls
Stained black by years of endless rain
Grass grows on antique slate shingles
Ferns grow in nearly unseen cracks
Caused by ages of neglect
The name has long since faded
The plate fell away and vanished
If it was...

The Essence of Soft Shadows


The essence of soft shadows on the wall
   that shelters where we'll rest when we are gone,
      where light flows in to grace the marble hall
and seasons can be seen with each new dawn...

Never had I met you 
Still I know your name,
Because of the notoriety 
Because of the fame

Written in stone
Forever and a day,
Many gone too soon 
Seems to happen that way

Halls of Hollywood memories 
Echo down the tomb ...
In a place of reverie 
Not a place...

Graveyard craziness
Mausoleums give me creeps
Hardware not software...
