on his gravestone they inscribed:
Born naked, ugly, bald,
died inconsolably appalled.

Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Life was a burden till death set me free -
Now granite gravestone being hard on me?!

The Gravestone of Melanie Walker
Here lies Melanie Walker.
A legendary hooker of old.
Her customers must have loved her
because they bought her a coffin of gold....

Forgotten behind the trees
Surrounded by grass
Sun crosses risen from earth
Crowned with some olive green mosh...

Ironic Icon
Write on my gravestone.
It was a typing mistake.
Not a random skip.
Rather, it dropped correctly.
Was neater than other lines....

Remember where I lay
Remember my gravestone
Remember this is now my eternal home
So remember my resting place and remember my new throne.

Reminds me
That a name
That is not a casualty of war
Is a name that may not adorn
A war memorial gravestone
But is rather living among the walking dead
That came home to live out
The days of thunder
For countless others...

False Hope
A gravestone.
It says Sheila Ryan, died aged 59
A devoted mother
Here clinging to the hillside
Striving, for the solemn white cross at the top
Standing
quiet,
unmoving,
unsympathetic.
As soil creep carries the believer down the hill....

Gravestone
"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 :)

The Tombstone Carves Itself
The tombstone carves itself
When you are ready to embark
On an underground journey
Where your body fades
But your soul survives
Your name is being spelled out
In charming calligraphy
And as the gravestone crafts 2005
You are incapacitated with fatality...
