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.

my feelngs about tombstones

Tombstones can be plain
Baby girl smith 1845
Or fancy with scripture
Here Lies Pat “this is the day that the lord has made.
Let us be glad and have joy it it.”

Some of the modern ones have electronic videos.
You can hear the deceased singing or giving advice.
With one push of the button.
You can stay there all day and

This ''Masterpiece''

This masterpiece a work of art, an affront to all my senses.
Tombstones of the dreams I've killed have built up my defenses.
Still further blurred the years I've learned to hate all we've become.
This world is curbed to round the heard the ignorant and dumb.
Though loving smiles cradle me through burnings of the ages.
And comfort warms

Tombstones and Cemetery Await Us All, Be Brave

Tombstones And Cemetery Await Us All, Be Brave

Howl of the blowing winds waywarder than others
In the darkened cave where evil desires wait
Caste us into stiff clans with warriors and brothers
Those of evil wrath, villainy and hands of Fate
Allow us this our fallacies and heedful needs
We of mortal flesh that walk barefoot and so brave
Always comes

A Walk Among the Tombstones

Markers worn by passing time,
stand like sentinels in a garden of stones.
The names of those who are no more,
once starkly chiseled,
now vanishing as though carved in butter 
set to table on a hot summer’s day.
The ones who languish here beneath the stones 
are now forgotten by history and progeny
like old paradigms.
That they once lived and

Tombstones

tombstones…death…life

in cemetery quietness				
tombstones rap
epitaphs of those
they are paid to represent…

on the outside arena
of the living
there are many of those
wearing and boasting
tombstones of life…

tombstones-like
shiny clothes
worn in winter
and thin by hunger
that infuses the bellies
of their children…all
carrying newspaper-blankets
for bus stop benches…
above their heads
posted signs
reading: homeless…

others sitting outside
hearse-like autos
with painted message:
lost home last month…
auto eviction end of month…

all are

Tombstones At Normandy

Tombstones At Normandy

Each tombstone is small sliver of a sheave; 
With love bring in and behind never leave; 
Memories exist; 
Will be missed; 
Thank God their souls he did retrieve. 

James Horn

I am amazed how you can put 
so many words together in such 
an incoherent way and end up
saying nothing at all. That is

Standing Among the Tombstones

Here is such a quiet and peaceful place among the tombstones of the dead.  And yes, the dead can still speak through the etchings of their markers. Oh, how they were loved, and never more than when their faces could be seen no more.  Those delicate hands could not be held, and the

Tombstones For Eyes

Tombstones For Eyes

We search for solace amidst the crowd to appease
 One day we shall all bow humbly to our knees
 The land is dark without the sun to light
 When this life is over there is no double feature
 Shades of black decorated the plate of mast
 Silence etched it's beckoning call asunder

A Walk Among the Tombstones

*Walking among the tombstones
*Conversing with the dead
*Alone, crying at a grave
*A woman on her knees, bowed was her head

*Her hair was dark
*Her eyes were too
*I couldn't help the strange feeling
*That this was a woman I knew

*As I approached
*I quaked with fear
*And in the blink of an eye
*The mysterious woman disappeared

*Curiosity got the best of me
*I

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.

Limerick: Great Tombstones 1

In legend a man named Darth Vadar*, 
Served evil, a perverse crusader, 
I don't say this with pride, 
But the day that he died, 
His death cut by half mankind's nadir.

really the Anti-Christ Himself, Darth Vadar is seduced by

Tombstones

Saying unto them, "No greater love hath a man

Than he lay down his life, for his friends...."

Well, I have tried to lay down my life over time

Beyound any desires of recognition and or fame!?

If only but for a moment betwixt this existence; days

Which so very quickly fade away within this place....

Hopes that I may become

Beyond any desires of recognition and or fame!?

If only but for a moment amid this existence

Days which so very quickly fade away, within this place....
