Poems
Visitation
by Carl Palmer
Length: 20 lines
- Speaking of Love -
positive
and uplifting
short stories and poems about
Romance, Marriage
and True
Love.
If you're in love with love,
then join the club -
everyone who
wants a brighter day and a brighter world belongs to the exact same club
and we're all looking for ways to make our hearts sing and our eyes
shine.
LUCKY for us, Speaking of Love
manages to
do both.
Give yourself,
or someone you care about,
a real treat and read
Speaking of Love now.
You deserve it.
You
deserve to feel wonderful.
You deserve
to feel wonderful right now.

Visitation
“...and here's a marvellous convenient place for our rehearsal.”
A Midsummer Night's Dream
his name and date of birth on the left
hers on the right etched in the stone
marker displaying their family name
easily seen from the graveyard gate
the two smile familiar from a recent
photo posed indelible on granite slab
for visits hereafter to this tombstone
resting upon their final resting place
I look at the picture of mom and dad
trace the letters of my carved surname
walk around their memorial mindful
both my parents are far from departed
only electing an entombment chamber
this future family plot paid for in full
vacantly awaiting infinite residency
merely missing their mortal remains
grateful both are still here with me
more grateful neither now beside me
to witness my tearful preview of that
day when these empty spaces are filled
