Eternity
i have lived among nature
feeling close to the earth
grown exotic flowers
fed birds that made nests
in my hanging planters
for birthing their young
come the dawning of spring
watched a tiny jacaranda tree
grow into a thrilling beauty
with a little nurturing
took in homeless dogs
so i could save them from
an early unwarrented demise
and in their eyes i have
seen a glimpse of eternity
for they, as i have
witnessed God's beauty
in all living things
and seen a bit of eternity

Ever Changing Man
I was told when i was young
men liked women who liked sex
because they were easy
but they never married them
and then i saw my father cheat
on my mother and then cheat on
the woman he cheated on her with
leaving me crushed and confused
when i grew up i read that
what men really sought was beauty
and then the writer dropped a bomb
saying unless she's too beautiful
the very beauiful woman is admired
and loved for the most part from afar
for the man is afraid of rejection
even when the door to her heart is ajar

Evil
there is evil in the powder room
there is evil lurking in the halls
there's evil everywhere you look
it even pentrates the walls
it cares not who it helps or hurts
it's running rampant in this place
there's so much damage being done
it's such a horrible disgrace

Fallen
one moment in time
the world stopped turning
the earth shook
my knees felt weak
heart thumped and breathless
life was dream-like
my body trembled
at your touch
in that one moment
time evaporated
our eyes solidly engaged
i knew without a single doubt
i had fallen for you
with a love second to none
