Time You Are No Friend Poem by Mittur Ramprasad

TIME YOU ARE NO FRIEND


TIME, YOU ARE NO FRIEND OF MINE
DREAMS YOU DESTROY BEFORE THEY UNTWINE
LETTING THE GLITTERING STARS LOOSE THEIR SHINE
BEFORE THEIR TIME YOU BITTER THE WINE

TIME, YOU ARE NO FRIEND TO LEAN ON
HEARTS YOU SHATTER BEFORE THE BREAK OF DAWN
MELTING THE HOPE LIKE DEW ON THE LAWN
BEFORE LIVING THE MOMENT FOREVER YOU ARE GONE

TIME, YOU ARE NO FRIEND FOREVER TO TRUST
WARNINGS YOU DON’T GIVE BEFORE WIND BECOMES GUST
YOU LET THE EARTH OPEN UP AND BURST
SENDING SMOKE ALL OVER SCATTERING THE DUST

TIME, YOU ARE NO FRIEND TO KEEP
AFRAID I AM ALWAYS TO GO TO SLEEP
DON’T KNOW WHAT’S IN STORE TO REAP
AS THE FUTURE IS SO VERY DEEP

BUT TRAVEL I DO ON THIS EARTH
IN YOUR SOULD WITH ALL MY FAITH
