Eternity is a darker poem inspired by the unbribe-able nature of life traveling towards death. Using rich imagery I pursue the visage of death through the many ways we try to influence the 'ever-after' and the ultimate futility such efforts. The culmination of the poem is to deny death power.
Each stanza is four lines and there are 8 stanzas. The rhyme scheme is A, B, C, A (meaning only the first and last lines of each stanza rhyme). The first and third lines each are 14 syllables and the second and fourth lines each are 9 syllables. While the structure of 8 stanzas has been maintained as 8 chapter breaks, each stanza has had its lines split-apart in order to preserve the intent (the pacing) of each line, and thus each line is given its own page; there may be instances, however, where managing the evolution of the poem in your mind, some lines have been split into multiple pages (making it so a chapter is not necessarily equal to the count of lines of a stanza).
