Time

Time holds nothing
watching it flow
bring to birth
only to see it fade
 Time gives no warning
in a moment 
everything held dear
becomes ash
 Time is a friend
it is also an enemy
bringing an end to it all

King Tut

Young king Tut, time honoured pharaoh
In rage, deaf like the sea, with fires impatience

Boy king worshipped as a God
The daintiest last, to make the end most sweet.

Buried with skill not food for worms
But time for him grants a heavier doom
