JJ Evendon Poems

There is no God that rules the universe
There is no God that cares for our mother earth
For we ourselves are God in some way or other
Able to care, create, destroy and kill one another
...

Dear unknown soldier.

An eternal flame marks your grave,
adjoined by marble columns with names of the fallen brave.
...

Time cannot be bought nor sold
for it makes everything, that is anything, become old.
No matter where life or events stand
it's relative by the movement of its invisible hand.
...

Insects drawn by an outside light
I hear sounds of cicadas and animals at night.
I feel the warmth of a gentle evening breeze,
Glass of wine in hand, that is making me merry indeed
...

Many times I have found myself in my dreams,
flying through the air with my arms out like wings.
I have only to think, and there I am,
gracing soft summer clouds with the touch of my outstretched hand.
...

Look how bright is my sky,
for the day it stopped raining was the day you arrived.
I see nothing but pure beauty in a celestial form,
for heaven must have smiled the day you were born.
...

The big moment had arrived,
when the cork could no longer contain the bubbles inside.
With an almighty explosion, it shot high up in the air,
followed by an out burst of champagne that sprayed everywhere.
...

A bright star shines above
like a heart's burning love.
In time, its flame will eventually die,
leaving darkness to fill that part of the sky.
...

As the evening fades
and the shadows fall,
there is an empty space in front of me,
a big empty space where you should be.
...
