On grave stones you can read sentiments like these: Don’t lay flowers, please; I have awful allergies. Don’t be fooled; I’m dead, if I wasn’t then, I am now. If you find my gravestone gaudy, blame my wife, she has no taste. Cemeteries are the only places you’ll find names without faces. Your life will end here, like it or rot. And you thought...

Grab a hold of me gently Don't jab my heart with this cruel knife Understand me completely I'm like a crab, living in its shell all my life Shelter me in my cell Hell broke loose in my heavenly dwelling place in which I dwell We are both lost, I can tell Selling my soul to the angels above as my...

I hardly cry in funerals... Because I know that one day, all will be healed and risen from the dead I hardly dance in balls... Because I know that someday, my love will dance my dreams away instead I doubt I'll ever fly away With these withered wings My route is brightened by the day, Awaiting what happiness brings It appears that I'm...

Deaths hand dealt fire flung with fury towards fractured souls that felt life reduced to fragmented parts Crows feet walked on strange places following a lost trail leading from a desert oasis weathering its sand burning them as they wept Eyes pouring a river of faces currents of memories rolling on Tears break the dam of dreaming that held back the reading of gravestone Infinite space for last tear falling always falling towards the ground forever embracing nights eternal sound...

Walking among a thousand graves you will notice a white cross over a granite gravestone; he was the youngest soldier to be buried and ended up alone; but in someone's heart, he still lives! A white cross is a symbol of faith that stands out from all the others, the true devotion of a soldier is the blood that flows through the veins of...

Beneath rugged oak tree's shade, and the voice of nature's mirth; Evergreen wreaths tied with red velvet bows lean back in repose, Adorn thousands of soldier's headstones laid to rest upon the lap of earth. A rhythmic verse passing tribute etched on each reflect among lives of those Honored and mourn upon the lawn in...

The black ravens’ peer deep into the darkness; Bracing upon cold marble and granite stone, Beneath the ghostly moon's shadows in starkness. Gray as gray, the ravens’ mock upon its groan Absence of light and nostalgic clandestine.

"Here am I,  finally alone" says this gravestone placed on my bones. I wonder why... How long I have to sigh under its monotone grave good-bye? *** Just a poem, nothing more :) May 25, 2017 Copyright © Darren White...
