Quite tombstones tell stories—

Why do crows stay in
Inside the confines of a
Dark cemetery
Fearful tombstones their haven
Why do they enjoy the dead

Farewell My Friend
In graveyard dreams
tombstones are etched
with fading memories
Only plastic flowers
are forever—apart from
my undying love…
Farewell, mon amie......

To Honor Our Dead
tombstones stand row in row
American flags fly peacefully among the dead
their blood was not shed in vain
they served,
they honoured,
they stood for America!...

Sympathy For the Reaper
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...

A Sidewalk Cemetery
The soup kitchen
opens an hour late.
The rain finally stops
and the hungry file in.
They’ve had a long wait.
Cigarette butts
line the sidewalk,
early tombstones
in their wake.

Limerick: Great Tombstones 2
Jesus Christ was called 'King of the Jews, '
And His teachings became our 'Good News, '
Now we all can take pride,
Embrace Christ crucified,
For with death He paid all of our dues.

Forgotten flowers,

Forgotten thoughts,
Forgotten memories,
Forgotten good,

Forgotten indifferent,

Savannah Shows Patience
Among the tombstones -
Before I join the departed -
Calming breezes blow through ancient oaks.
Dew drips quietly from hanging Spanish Moss.
Eternity speaks,"Welcome - I will wait".

Tears In the Mist
tombstones loom in the mist
of the churchyard's eerie glow,
feelings of sadness will persist
as memories come and go,
in the misty silence, tears will flow

The Graveyard
The graveyard has a spooky gate,
The tombstones spaced behind,
With skeletal remains arranged
That passersby could find.
Some ghosts pop out of windows,
Where they’ll still be at dawn
And you can visit all of this
On my grandchildren’s lawn....

The Eagle Has Landed
the eagle has landed
standing guard on the remains
these courageous vets
sacrificed for our freedom
young hearts that rest neath tombstones
Written for the Bald Eagle in the Cemetery contest
and dedicated to all our veterans...

R E M E M B R a N C E
Like the wisp of a
fragrance
So is the memory
of the dead
only seared by time
But in the hearts of
loved ones
they are tombstones
erected as memorabilia
Remembrance only for
the love hearted;
And not as famous
as Rembrandt....
