Here’s a sheet of marble, <br />For you to ignore <br />Engraved upon are my ghosts demonic, <br />Come and carve your name upon it <br />Some more. <br /> <br />Here’s a monolithic marble stone, <br />A testimony to my ugliness <br />And the chaos to which Im prone <br />Overgrown now, but, <br />Still my monolithic marble stone <br /> <br />Upon my monolithic marble stone <br />Lays my home, upon a crest made of gold <br />Reflecting the sun, amplifying my shadowed woe <br />Upon my monolithic marble stone <br /> <br />A staircase rising from the ocean to the shore <br />Up to my marble home, stopping dead at my door <br />Beautiful limestone steps a once so pure road <br />But from my weather they began to erode <br /> <br />Now the steps lay as dust on the beach <br />So now upon my monolithic stone im out of reach <br />Atop of a mountain deep, <br /> <br />Now the steps are dust on the beach <br />I'll be <br />Once and for always out of reach<br /><br />Daniel Richards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/monolithic-loss/
