Time- My Enemy





My destiny that was

Written behind the curtains

Was wrapped in the silk of mystery

While I follow it like in a dream

And have no recourse to it



Time that did not exist was born

It surrounded the earth

Time and my destiny are of the same tribe

Nobody knows what are they?

Or why are they?



I know that time is priceless and perishable

And eternity free and everlasting

Both time and I are in love

And were born of lasting love



Time disrobes the rose in its arms

And the tulip mingles with Time until it dies

Time my rival and my enemy

Kills my roses and tulips



Many are the roses from my destiny

That slept in the arms of Time

And I see that the train of time passes by

And takes away my flowers

To deliver them to the open arms of eternity



Such is time and I the loser

Time is present and past and I am now

Time, my rival, my companion and my enemy

It is a careless co-traveler that doesn't care about me



It drives on and does not look back

It doesn't stop so I would pull out the thorn from my foot

It doesn't stop so I would take a breath

Onward it drives and it never pauses



Time, my co-traveler, my companion and my enemy

Does not know that one day

Neither he, nor I would exist anymore
