Compressed separation, reality unveiled
Suffocated freedom, identity confronted
Coalesced spaces, vision uncharmed
Memory inscription, chapter closed

Even at the very end
Mel Blanc was still cracking jokes.
It's hard to weep, reading his
tombstone inscription: That's all folks!



NOTE: Mel Blanc did the voices for all the Looney Tune characters.

Inscription On a Tombstone

he was no hero
                      a mere farmer from Ahero
                who tendered crops of breed inferior
                                 bow to him
                               he was a man

Inscription On the Wall of Flower Mountain Temple

The temple is named after the Flower Mountain,
Yet no flowers are seen and weeds are overgrown.
Planting and weeding must be on the routine list ,
For fair flowers are brief while weeds grow fast.

After Dark

The moon splays its splendor.
Red roses somber in vase.
Subliminal shadows, peaked and sallow,
flicker like windswept, willow flame.
Inscription, on her headstone, illuminated.

Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews

This is the King of the Jews,
The inscription proclaimed to all
Who passed by the cross on Golgotha’s hill.
Pilate could not have known that day
That the words he had inscribed there
Were the TRUTH to mankind revealed.

The Medallion



I have searched the Earth for Mankind's birth
Stumbled across some petrified wood in the southeast
Inside was a medallion carved with strange markings
An inscription that said, we came in peace

Inscription On a Church Gate

To those who are weary and burdened
                                                     enter

Harold Hart Crane

There is a thombstone in Ohio, with the inscription:
’’Harold Hart Crane:  Lost at sea.“
His words, soaked with tears blossom
Beneath the waves, in lonely, starving hearts
While he sleeps the sleep of the sea
Without his dark passion,
Free at last 
Calm at last

Silver string tugs
By the moons inscription
Writing:
“Open to heart’s desire
Left upon the kind
Leaving one to perspire
Towards the unyielding mind”
The moon sends its grace
To the passerby
Filling all with hope
Of a silver thread design

Russell Sivey

Bell of Ordu-Baliq

Six enlightened tunes 
Eight melodies of virtues 
To become acclaimed 
In the ten skies of the Church 
This is the eternal bell


This poem is about a 1,200 year old Manichaean bell (and its inscription) found in Ordu-Baliq (Capital of the Uyghur Khaganate).

Daylight Route

“The strange is the inscription on the wall seen by the gifted. It’s the enigma they run from.”
                         - Quote by Poet 

Losing sight of the light,
Encumbered by the night,
The daylight is not freedom’s way,
There’s a strange for each day.

Premium Member The Writing On the Wall

a scratch
a scar
        an inscription
carvings 
         as memorials
gravestones
and walls
            of a cave:
I was here
            we were here
we lived
we loved
we died
            now,no one
remembers
              our sighs
              our cries
....... our lives

Weeping Willow Why

I trace the harden, scars of bark
Merely, a piece of heart has healed
One by one and letter to letter
With tinges of smile as I feel
The puppy love that fades within inscription 
Passions scratched upon a Weeping Willow 
So far away are the lives in parallel 
All abstractions as... statues in a field
Form: Verse

Shirin

She has a courage like no others, Having faith is like a blood veins that will not fade, Inquisitive about everything she sees or learns, Running here running there trying to find what's the best, Inscription is a mystery way of how to rhyme, Never will lose her focus when reaching a goal.

Premium Member The Inscription

Finally,

what I wished for, came to pass.

After many decades of a turbulent life, I managed to reach

the gates of old age!


Now,

 
before them I stand,

pondering at the inscription written above the entrance:

"Enter at your own risk!"

Rx Options

RX options.. 
I was on a medication of deception,
Didn’t stop and make correction,
To the lies that I believed,
You don’t just wake up one morning deceived,
So if the doctor writes that prescription,
Ill let the truth be the inscription,
On the walls in the rooms of my heart,
To view when an erring voice starts.

The Fact

Am bent over making a deep impression.

From the sweetness of my sweet expression.

Am contained over painting in your heart my dear inscription.

I am exhausting my thoughts that you may get a clear description.

In your very eyes i see the source of my inspiration.

I am compelled to confess I LOVE YOU for real beyond imagination.
