TIME CHANGES


Where is permanence

In this transient world ?

We have come to leave

And so are our affairs


Time, the architect of change

Like a river, carries souls apart

Like the proverbial twenty kids

That can not play for twenty years

Dreams are lost in time


Think of the stolen hours of pleasure

That gives birth to intimacy

Or the slippery fish from there begotten

Should the quest for variety win

The seldom fashion indulgence

Is often the father of vogue


Differences creep in untold

As the dusk fizzles into dawn

So the chanced sumptuous meals

Gradually courts the taste

Chanced is then swallowed up in favourites

Alienating twins that sucked same breasts


Greatest is the crime of indifference

Where differences are in contention

Differences unlike the truth

Know not the route of constancy

In metamorphosis or soldiering wade

Frankly speaking, I am not here to flatter you. I appreciate a good piece of art prowess when I see one. You have got what it takes. 'Time Changes' is a good piece of poetic licence which you possess. Keep the pen flowing. Though, I want to ask - pray, Verse 3, line 3-4, who dares look for variety, the fish or the Catcher?

Both could look for it, depending on who feels like fun before the other.
