Fading images
Reverting queens and heroes
To average mortals,
Now just like everybody's,
They join the lost loves' graveyard
I told life that I cheated with her sister death,
and how she has promised to set me down in
her bosoms
her graveyard of old lovers.
We're asleep in this graveyard
We can't hear you pout
So please leave your flowers
And get the hell out
effervescent ghost
mercurial movements
graveyard haunting
seen by only one
she pretended not to see it
blocking the message
Gravestones lopsided
Forgotten behind the trees
Surrounded by grass
Sun crosses risen from earth
Crowned with some olive green mosh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
moonlight carves cold stone
a whisper stirs dead roses
footsteps fade to moss
Hungry frog,
Lank hungry tongue
looking at dancing flies
Hungry belly is a graveyard
Flies to death by turns!

a night a graveyard
blue eyes move shadows creep moon
night bird watches dig
haiku graveyard (C) rajat kanti chakrabarty
In graveyard dreams
tombstones are etched
with fading memories
Only plastic flowers
are forever—apart from
my undying love…
Farewell, mon amie...
Mothering Sunday
old men weeping, daffodils
at the graveyard gate
sons and daughters, motherless
everyone somebody's child

A blue ocean of wonders
dancing around
Blue sky dreams
at the tip of God
Like an unlimited ocean of blues
As a big graveyard
A big blue
and big sky
Blue sky
Abandoned at sea,
dismantled, wasted-
carcasses of ships
join the huge graveyard
on Shipwreck Beach shore-
battling waves no more.
kreel n krurl
bone twisting brake
skeletons dancing
beturn o bewake
beslide n beclunky
on graveyardy mound
skelebones skelefunky
over graveyardy ground
this poem is a single line tanka
Unexpectedly strolling into a daydream filled with bright colors, still seeing you here not there alone beneath cold marble.
"Amidst These Purest Bud, In A Gourd Of Flesh, In
The Deep Hades, There I Lay!"..."Upon This
Ground, My Essence Drip,
Regrets, Bathed My Graveyard,
For Me, Do Not Weep!"

She stands
In the graveyard
Where he sleeps forever
Beneath the heavy weight of all
Her tears.

Parading in the graveyard so silent and dark
Checking the date on the victims tombstones
But a Reaper must do his duty and play his part
And forever walk with darkness and macabre alone
Single Flower, In Winter's Grip
cold and frozen heart
graveyard, abandoned tombstone
life, fires, dead ashes

Haiku, ( Where Sorrows Meet Memories )
at trumpets' blast
at snaredrums' roll
flautists pipe
bells mournful toll ...
doors creak late evening
owls hoot at will
Is yon graveyard still
high on the hill
I have received from a stranger the unusual spam:-
To meet him in the graveyard sharp at midnight.
I guess, that the mind of sender not fully alright.
I waited for hours, but he did not come.
