Premium Member Tomb
Quote: "The Taj Mahal, the symbol of love, signifies that the tomb can be architecture too.” -- unkown Taj Mahal, a testament, love enshrined, A marble ode to a love undefined. Through the ages, its beauty persists, Eternal love in white marble exists. A tomb of white splendor, like a moonlit dream, Where Shah Jahan's love for...

Premium Member Unknown Soldiers by Max Burchett
by Maxwell "Max" Sebastian Burchett One Memorial Day made me consider The many tombs to unknown soldiers, In memoriam to the lost From wars then and now, Unnamed ghosts. Is memory of all without any names, The memory of none? Surely the names were known to some, All missed and mourned by a loved one. All had mothers with pain and grief unknown. Those who...

Monument
Moss grows on the old gravestone mooring itself into the moribund marble spreading like a syphilitic rash garbling the name in shades of green the velvet glove of a thief slowly stealing the identity of the dead buried below The blurred image of a willow tree all one can still see engraved in the soft stone weathered by more than a century of...

Premium Member A Monument To Air
Whatever our bodies could have done If only, there was, little less of poison The hoardings’ screaming. Loud Drinking Coke was in. In fashion We sprayed aerosols in airs Filled our bellies with alcohol Artificial lights of late nights Food sprayed with chemicals Such a divine vehicle is the body We compared it, to an automobile Vehicles designed aerodynamically Curves compared to breasts &...

The Monument
The Monuments Have you the strength to spear a spine, and will you ladle blood pudding into the Battle Queen’s bosom, under contract that ye shall taste sudden death, and then feast with the gods, not terribly mamed, nor returned to pander for P’sy in the proximity of pathetic peasants? It was their use of...

Premium Member Skeletal Monument
In the chilled space of time, There she stood—unperturbed; There she stood, cold and motionless As if a victim of death, but not dead; There she stoically stood—challenging All of nature; even man himself—daring. There she stood—leafless—her tall skeleton Piercing the sky as if a monument to her life And being—a naked statue with arms spread wide. If her imaging could speak, standing there,...

Saša Milivojev - ICE MONUMENT I have been searching for you in the centuries In lost dreams In icy seas Tracks covered in snow And you are no more Everyone ‘s undone Winds! Turn me to ice A monument of ice To be awakened By soft rays of light Once a heart is thawed It will beat for you Memories I lost Turn my blood to frost Tear droplet so young On...

Premium Member Crazy Horse Monument
Crazy Horse Monument Up there! On the Black Hills Mountain, 1 A work in progress sculptured in granite, Of a stern faced warrior, strong and determined, 2 Unadorned in a war bonnet, with his hair flowing in the wind, And the White Buffalo Calf Woman’s seven values 3, 4 Written into his face. Mounted upon his steed, Crazy Horse scans the horizon, And...

Roadside Monument
every song, every line scrawled, of poetry and of prose, rasps at this open wound, and calls back your absence, like a disturbed spirit summoned, to possess old familiar haunts, these scrapes and slashes teach, my senses what is refined, and show that I’ve lost, that which was never mine, nine tenths of the law, were to another already licensed then need we flagellate so, need we be...
