Tempus Fugit Poem by Peter Rogerson

Tempus Fugit



Time gently fades

Behind the sunset of my life

The glow of youth departs

As atmospheres of strife

Interrupt the flow

Of vigour in its prime.



No sign of adolescent confidence appears

As monuments of sanity

Collapse about my ears.

The brain deteriorates;

In vain I try to save

The remnants of my childhood days

When idly and in ignorance I laze

Oblivious of the trials yet to come.
