I Found That

The past retires with the moon
The future rises with the sun
The beauties of yesterday
Are but relics today

Guile hides behind smiles  
And hugs are used to transfer bugs
Yet the mouth that kisses a friend
Oft times introduces him to his fiends

A woman's warmth grooms a child
Her wrath dooms a man
She overwhelms both like heavy rain
Only that one comes with tornadoes

Men are leopards
Their schemes may change often
But their spots remain and they'd 
Climb any thing with trunk and branches

Love is a potion
Much becomes poison
Yet a little more is the cure 
But death defies cure.

Life is a circus:
Fate is the juggler
Friendship is the clown
And the passing days enjoy the spectacle.
