A few simple words
chosen with care; etched in stone.

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....

monument to lost childhood
cold harsh memories
abandoned hope, love and dreams
never a Christmas blanket

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....

BY MY OWN HANDS I KILLED YOU
MY DEAR SELF

REST IN PEACE MY DEAR SOUL
THAT IS YOUR NEW HOME...

Remembered
Remember where I lay
Remember my gravestone
Remember this is now my eternal home
So remember my resting place and remember my new throne.
For my only fear in death - is again being all alone....

Final Addendum
A gravestone is the last
official document a person
will attach his name to.
And though it takes place
after the fact, it still has all
the weight and finality
of a death certificate....

Daniel
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?

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...

Rambling
fragrant rambling rose
entwined in honeysuckle
memories of gran
i cut some blossoms
to place on her grey gravestone
tears fall like raindrops

The Holy Sepulcher
Here lies entombed a poet
Whose verses in ether lie,
He seeks no tears of mortals
Neither seeks a mournful sigh;
Gay blooms shrouding his gravestone
Are magical spells of his,
They'll drench your soul with nectar
And pints of heavenly bliss.

On your gravestone
As a symbol of my undying love
You departed this life far too early
I’m all alone
In the world

Crowvember
blowing frost on a star and gravestone
quickening our steps like Charlie Chaplain
turning maple leaf into rubies and gold
churning flocks into wind splashed shoals
now we're hunched over like Quasimodo
the homeless sinking deeper into their hole
November struts about and barks like a crow....
