Eterne Poems | Examples


Macbeth

Now thy battle’s won and thy traitor slain.
The good King’s son is princely heir anew 
And honor is due to the worthy Thane.
Beware, for envy oft forgets virtue.

The trusting master visits loyalty
Alas! False friend is he, we are to learn
Treasonous betrayal we are to see
Glory dies young whilst thy greed is eterne.

Power, that corrupt foe, brought greed and hate
And whispered in thine ear of blood and death
For three weird sisters vowed he would be great.
Blood will flow from the dagger of Macbeth.

Think not upon’t else the heart will grow cold
For death is the end of such tales of old.
Form: Sonnet

To Viola

Thou art like an ever-changing flower,
That gently grows unknown, unto a heart. 
Mere moments later appears thy power
And blossoms eterne. Death, that foe, doth part.

Forever, beside this flower I lie,
Captured like a dove, fooled by mine own dream.
To be joyous, yet bursting with a sigh,
For not everything is as it may seem.

Love is that which can sing forevermore
Persistent, yet like the wind, it’s gentle.
It’ll come to your street and knock on your door.
Invite it in, it’s quite temperamental. 

True love, what a vague matter it can be!
Form: Sonnet


In Death, the Soul Shall Live

Darkened night
Of no moonlight
Silence took my cries
As I weep facing my fears 
Mortality is for the tomb
My curse is from the womb
Man of flesh shall die
But the soul eterne shall not lie
In comfort of illusions
And flatteries of religions
The life that is immortal
Shall make us one with the 
eternal
The sun rising from the east
Shall lead us to that glorious 
feast
Where man's sin shall die
And all his tied knots,  untie
Form: Epitaph

The Find

Amid the instant when
the veil of uncertainty
Slowly draws away
to evince the reality
of your own fate:
Death swiftly delivered upon you
within the absence of conscience
by your own lascive cravings
and careless wants;
It is then that the hands of your 
maker releases that veil to gently
embrace your soul,allowing the angry
man to dissolve into His mighty breast,
so as to bring forth
return of the timorous boy to 
aboundly dilate within the vastness
of His force;
Thus sensating peace eterne.
