There was a time
When time rhymed with heartbeats
Danced to desires
Clapped for exuberance
Chatted with life
And bonded with hearts
Making muscles jump in happiness
II
There was a time
When hearts loved their times
Spoke with pride about their times
Ruled their time
And thought they rocked like gods
Hearts; I mean
III
Funny how time stands on its toes
As those hearts stand with the help of walking sticks
Cursing the youth that died without
And still live within
Time is a deceiver
Time is immortal
Time is invisible
Time praises to strike
And strikes to ‘ugligate’
Time oh time!!!
Anti-kaleidoscopic existence
Ever with the last laugh
