Devouring Time

The Squandering Time! 

Arch rival of mortal mankind 

The usurper of pleasure and delight 

like the crafty and wily enchantress 

It gnaws life's honey breath 

From the sickle of delightful moments 

Devouring Time!

Imminent still and ever 

With all it's clutter and welter 

But here, there is no shelter 

Only bewailing and bemoaning 

Reclusively amidst the sable woods of life 

Then is dolour no more...

Overwhelming Time! 

Flows like the flowing river 

and obscured into her womb

innumerable moments of momentary life 

and banal footprints of temporal mortality 

We come and go 

like the little bubbles 

in the torrential water of spontaneous time 

immersion into deadly deluge 

like the contemptible and despicable creatures 

Time is all inevitable 

It formulates, shapes, and obliterates 

like the heap of wrecked glasses 

and bottomless pain ...

endless torpors
