Time

From rise to set,

Never does it rest,

For past, present and future,

Within it do nest.

When happiness they fetch,

They are momentous like a dream,

But at sadness they stretch,

And never ending they seem.

Like crystal sand in tightened fist,

More is lost when tighter the hold,

Dark and vague like twilight mist,

For it only knows what future may hold.

Money can buy it,

Bonds can’t tie it,

If lost for once it’s lost forever,

Regret of which ceases never.

Did it have a beginning?

Does it have an end?

Is still beyond our reckoning,

It lives by its own trend.

Seconds pile up into minutes,

As does months into years,

But these are just measures of mortal span,

And end with death as we fear.

Infinitely … continuously striving ahead,

Presenting few memories sublime,

To where it will take us, from where it has lead,

We mortals call it Time.

My Rainbow

Colors of happiness you bring along,
Spread the joy with nature's song,
Your arches are gateways to euphoria,
Your show me the visions of Utopia,
Your beauty catches the eye , no matter how far,
For greatest of sight for them thou art.

Dark clouds of sorrow is what precedes you,
Darker still are the one's that succeeds you,
You appear for a moment and time takes you back,
Then life turns a trial , for it you who lack,
What was once a garden is now a desert,
Life is held a prisoner, waiting for you to revert.

Your glimpse is worth the wait till eternity,
And you'll remain beyond my reach for infinity,
Waiting and watching is all I can do,
Treasuring each moment before you finally move,
But you're still faultless, t'was fate's own play,
To keep you in sky and here on earth I lay.
