Tombstone Poems

TOMBSTONE MANOR

A place of peace and calm
Miles upon miles of graves sites
Memorials telling their life stories
Souls lifted up to glory
Lived in the flesh 
Endless rest
Sleep on in your years
You lived to preserver
Their tomorrows arrived
Now they slumber
Days, years and nights numbered
Their names gathered
Eternity mount
Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
The Sun rises casting shadows over each tombstone
Smiles seen through

Tombstones in the Cemetery

"Some believe they must earn a life in heaven.unaware heaven is already their home" ~ CayCay



Human life is striving for joy while saturated with busy
bits of an emotional seesaw, its movements leave traces
in so many places, our goal seems pre-disabled.  So, it 
is that despite emotional throes we seek fulfillment over 
and over.

As God's

Tombstone

Tombstone
 What's the point of living?
 Might as well get busy dying?
 Darkness covers our paths.
 All the days under the sun won’t last.
 The graveyard is inviting.
 There's more empty plots where we lie.
 You can’t escape from judgment.
 No place to hide but stand in line in blood red.
 Tombstone underground or burned

TOMBSTONE LOVE

WHERE YOU ARE, I AM,
WHERE YOU GO, I WILL BE THERE;
LOVE'S AN EPITAPH:-

THE CRACKING OF A TOMBSTONE

Sometimes life can be peaceful 
And Sometimes it can be quite 
You can even hear the needle drop
What is so funny?
Sometimes life can be full of drama
And Sometimes it can be stressful 
When is this pot getting hot?
The bomb has exploded,

As the seas collide
And the tree bears its fruit 
The world is watching 
As the

leonard baileys tombstone

Leonard Bailey’s tombstone was cryptic
“one gathered in unison of solitude”
some thought they had solved the riddle
was it devised by Leonard himself or his wife?
It was inscrutable to most.
Very few thought they understood it.
No one agreed.
Best tombstone in the cemetery.
And the most visited.

Leaning On a Tombstone

Leaning On a Stone

I was afraid of gaining weight, so I kept on puffing my cigarettes. Filling my lungs, holding that drag as long as I could. I liked that feeling deep in my chest. When I breathed out through my nose, I looked like a smokey dragon. The long silver hair that framed my

Life, the Potter

A piece of clay spinning around,
Molded by hands of fire and ice,
Shaped into form; tied and bound
By experiences through this vice.

Round and round upon a spin wheel,
Born into centre going fast and slow,
Pieces of clay falling; the bonemeal
picked up and hand built to grow. 

Every piece of clay on the slab,
Foot pressing down on pedal

Leave My Tombstone Untitled

I am about to commit the worst sin
I am about to abandon my own life 
Just lie in the bed and die 
This compulsion to write dark things
Thoughts or even feelings 
Maybe that is what  has me living 
Giving me the strength to keep going 
But really is it even worth it 

I feel

His Lonely Tombstone

no tombstone no plaque
worn out frayed flowers hang
unkept weeds grow fierce

A Jewel's Passing

So no more shall his traitors hate;
For death's veils have made it late
To slight any soul time has called
To dine and wine in the city of gold.

And his tombstone does eerily stand
Above the grass on the watered land;
Where passers-by might donate a tear
To lament the passing of a jewel dear.

And wayfaring aliens of kindlier blood

Tombstone Turmoil

Alabaster you say? Or is it a tombstone slab of lime?
I know my sister has decided to irritate me during this field trip.
Where did it originate? Did anyone see the vandals?
I have no words; knowing my sister has transmogrified.

No one can shapeshift harder or faster than Cara.
Now the trick is to get rid of the
