Who Am I?

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve

Who am I?

I'm so much more than the rings I wear.

Look beyond the fingers you see.

I'm so much more than the hair on my head

Or how long that hair may be.

Who am I?

Time changes all in the outward signs,

But inside is where we can grow.

Look beyond colors I wear today.

Look into my heart and know.

Beyond All Words

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve

In the dark,

In the silence,

We two who walk with words

Let go all words and know the comfort

Of the beauty in our sharing

Beyond all words,

In the silence.

Beyond the Pain

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve

Did you read my words?

Have you felt my pain?

Have you known those times

When tears came down like rain?

In a lonely room,

Though people were close by,

Have you known the sorrow

Much deeper than your sigh?

Misunderstood, alone,

You thought your pain would last.

Reach out and find that soon

Your pain is of the past.

I know; I've lived; I've loved.

I've lost and loved again.

Reach out beyond yourself;

Reach out beyond the pain.

Justice Violet's Girls

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve
My Mom was named Violet;

Her Mom was named Violet too.
Miss Violet, Miss Violet, Justice Violet's two Violets,
Sweet Violets so beautifully grew.

My Mom had a daughter who did what she oughter,
Grew up, found a man, had a son.
That daughter was me, years ago, don't you see.
But I could not stop with just one.
So I had a daughter who did what she oughter,
Grew up, found a man, had a son.
She then had a daughter who did what she oughter,
Grew up, found a man, grew a FLOWER.

It's Violet, sweet Violet, one more little girl,
One more in the clan of the Violets.
And YOU, dear Justice, can you SEE how we grew?
IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!

Holiday Heat and

Global Warming

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve

It's a holiday Monday,
So much like a Sunday,
But the temperature soars
And I long for a FUN day.
I'd be snug in my home,
Not bothering to drive,
With weather much cooler
In which I could thrive.

But today there are people
Around me in stores.
There are many like me
Who prefer the indoors.
As electrical power
Is keeping us cool,
I see families with children
Who are home from their school.

Today I am parking
Myself in a chair
Inside a large building,
Breathing warm, normal air.
I have found me a shelter
Away from the heat
And I'm reading my book,
Keeping all things neat.

Unlike my own dwelling,
With windows all around
That let in the light,
And the heat, and the sound,
Where papers surround me
(I'm too tired to sort)
And laundry needs doing,
And time comes up short ---

This haven from heat
Is inside a mall,
My one last refuge
This beginning of FALL.
Yet I'm hearing an echo
Of a warning once heard,
Of a future we'll avoid
If we heed every word.

Recycle the cans,
The paper, the glass,
As around this land
You continue to pass.
Use energy wisely,
Conserve when you can,
And remember the children
Who will inherit the land.

Election Year Insomnia

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve

Obama's with Biden, and Palin, McCain.

My toothache is hurting; I'm in too much pain.

My rent has gone up and my funds have gone down.

The're people now hurting all over this town.

It's six in the morning; I've NOT SLEPT at all.

And this is the CRAZIEST WEATHER this fall.

I worry about this and I try to solve that.

Just give me some SLEEP; it's too early to chat.

If I CAN'T sleep in bed, can I sleep in a chair?

They say that good sleep will UNRAVEL each care.

I hope I can learn how to QUIET MY BRAIN!

Obama's with Biden, and Palin, McCain.

Vocabulary Fun

(Sesquipedalian)

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve

The other day my boyfriend found

A word he thought I'd know.

He was so sure that I was that;

I said it wasn't so.

We looked it up in Webster's book

To see just how to say it.

(Vo-cab-u-lary is a game;

Sometimes I like to play it.)

This magic word was new to me;

Perhaps it's new to you.

Sess-kwuh-puh-DAY-lee-ann ----

If you can say it, do!

I find it every bit as fun

As Mary Poppins' word.

This word is REAL; 'tho not made up,

It's one I'd never heard.

Sess-kwuh-puh-DAY-lee-ann

Is not too BAD, I see.

Look it up, be LIKE that too ---

That's how you WANT to be?

Ses-qui-pe-da-lian ---
Don't ever say it to a man --

Not if you want to seem quite glamorous

And really want him to be amorous.

Spring Cleaning

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve

Some people with zeal
Can't see what is real.
A woman I know
Puts on a big show
Of paintings and sculptures,
Not seeing the vultures
Disorder and Dust ---
But face it, she must!
Her vision is poor,
'Tho resolve is now sure.
"I'M NOT A BUG!"
Says the dustball, so smug.
Yet it's squashed anyway,
Not to live another day.
Some people with zeal
Can't see what is real.

Love Came

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve
I wished upon a star one time
When I was eight years old.
A daddy for my children and a
Man that I could hold --
That's how I saw my future life.
I planned it all, you see.
Early to wed was in my plan.
That's how I thought it would be.

Ah yes, that dream came true in time,
But more was still to come.
The man who fathered my children became
Loving spouse to another one.
A different man then took his place
In a life I continued to live,
And he was one who deserved the love
That was all my heart could give.

When he slipped away to the heaven above,
Someone else took up room in my heart.
It would not work -- it was plain to see
I was dazzled by all of his art.
Now time has made me wiser still
To look beyond the shell
To a man within an aging body.
He loves me and knows me well.

I wished upon a star one time
When I was eight years old.
I wished for a man whom I could love,
A man I'd be pleased to hold.
I wished upon a star for LOVE
And MORE than I wished came true.
So dream the dreams you choose to dream
And love can come to YOU.

Choice

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve
My thoughts fill with words I'm afraid to speak,
So in my confusion, my lips touch your cheek.
You smile at me and I feel your youth.
You seem so mature, but is it the truth?
And if I would give myself to you,
Thus yielding my body as others do,
Would you again be here with me?
Each time I looked, what would I then see?

I'm living a life now safe and secure,
Afraid to dare, though fully mature.
One moment of choosing to take a chance
Could alter my life forever -- one glance
From YOUR smiling eyes could tip the balance --
The love of a lifetime, or only a dalliance.
Would you again be here with me?
Each time I looked, what would I then see?
by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve, June 30, 2007

My Time

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve
Boxed in.
No place to go ---
Only where someone else
Chooses for me.
Why is my time
Wasted so?
I had plans.
I had hopes.
What's here for me now?
There is ONE hope,
One plan to pursue;
I'll fill my time with that.

Free at last!
There's so much to do!
No time for extras ---
Not even one which gave me solace
When I thought my time was being wasted.
The only comfort I was allowed
No longer fits my busy life.
The restriction I hated
Has proved a blessing.
Yes, I see now.
It was meant to be thus.
It was a time well spent.

Interior Decorator

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve
Moving into cramped quarters can even be fun.
A paid professional? No; I am the one.
I shop for the bargains and search for the sales
And even sometimes grab a hammer and nails.
I disregard rules and do as I please,
Check this goes with that and that goes with these.
There's secondhand stuff, still good, 'tho discarded;
For me it's ideal while I'm still getting started.

Christmas Blessing to a

Soul I Have Known

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve

I bless you now this Christmas Day;

I bless you now as you go on your way.

It matters not who holds you now,

Or who, in turn, fills MY life somehow.

We met, we loved, we learned and parted,

And LONELINESS was, for a while, outsmarted.

It was not in vain we sought the love;

There was a plan, conceived above,

That brought our souls together then

And made us seek, in this world of men,

Completion, perfection, in the image of another.

Go your way with God, my brother.

I'll never wish we had not met,

'Tho time and life have said, "not yet"

To all the dreams I held for you

And all the dreams that didn't come true.

I bless you now, Beloved Soul.

To learn from life -- that was the goal.

To part again, when we can not stay,

Was in the plan; it's all O. K.

We did it all, as was meant to be --

With GOD and YOU and ME -- we three.

I bless you now this Christmas Day,

'Tho the love we sought did not SEEM to stay.

Tiffany Vase

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve

With practical daisies and romantic roses

A Tiffany vase is filled.

It signifies love that came to us both;

That came to us just as God willed.

You chose not me and I chose not you,

But God saw that we were a pair.

"That couple back there in the last row," I heard,

Soon after I sat in a chair.

I had chosen the chair that was right next to yours,

Though I hardly knew who you were.

When I came in late, the speaker revealed

What God had revealed to her.

I laughed to myself at how wrong she was then,

But the joke was really on me,

For ten years later, her fiction was fact;

Now yours is the love that I see.

With practical daisies and romantic roses

A Tiffany vase is filled.

It signifies love that came to us both;

That came to us just as God willed.

Prayer for Guidance

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve

Dear God in heaven and in my heart,

I lay my cares on you.

I have some problems I can not solve;

I don't know what to do.

I chose some goals and reached them too,

And thus brought even more;

More problems I myself can't solve;

Now inside me there's war.

You are the God of PEACE and LOVE;

Please help me feel those now.

Help me untangle the mess I made

When I thought I could choose just how

To reach the goals I chose for myself.

Please show me what to do

As now for those problems I can not solve,

I lay my cares on you.

It's Over -- Again

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve

You sensed my innocence --

you played the game
You'd played before with others.
Were we friends or were we lovers?
I never knew just which.

I gave you honesty and devotion;
You gave me joy with grief.
Obscure were your words --

obscure was your meaning;
Each time we worked it out.

There's a lesson here that I already knew,

And I trusted you knew it as well.
You said "goodbye" in a roundabout way
That left me unsure of your choice.

Now "nothing" it was, and forever will be,

And never will you think of me.

True, there was nothing, and more

could not be,

But there's many a thought from me.

Commandments of Love (Mark 12:29-31)

We have tried to go our own way

And we have not found peace.

So now in faith we ask thee Lord,
We ask in faith,

Teach us to do thy will.

Tell us, Oh Lord, thy will.
"Hear, O Israel;

The Lord our God is one Lord;

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God

With all thy heart,

And with all thy soul,

And with all thy mind,

And with all thy strength.

This is the first commandment.

And the second is like,

Namely this,

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

There is none other commandment

Greater than these."

We hear thee, Lord.

Teach us how to obey thy word.

In faith we ask thee, Lord,

We ask, teach us to do thy will.

Thy will be done.

A-men; a-men; a-men.

Birthday Boy

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve

The birthday boy has bounced along

To a ripe old age by now.

Each obstacle that was in his path

Has been overcome somehow.

Here's to the man who is loved by all,

Both young and old, both near and far;

May the cheerfulness that we see in him

Be to us as a guiding star.

Despite the Rain

by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve

Did you ever love so much it hurts?
Or hide the pain with rich desserts
Then sleep alone and wonder why?
Or lie in bed alone and cry?
You chose the one who stays away;
Now choose to live another day.
Just try to sort all dreams from fact.
He loves you still, but can not act.
Believe the love; let go the pain
And live your life despite the rain.
