The Seducer Time

Time appears generous, make no mistake

Stretching life horizons beyond the night,

Endless hours linger, making each day

False promises that they will not take flight.

Time swirls seductive words in its streams,

Home, family, work- life words make demands

Time hammers reality into dreams

Time shapes dreams with twisted, treacherous hands.

Time’s cycle -Youth, middle, and old age shows

Eternal truths that even time can’t hide:

Time can’t keep its trimester from its close

Old age doesn’t reflect the youth inside.

False friend time doesn’t help mere mortals mock,

The daily, eternal, tick of the clock.
