DEATHLESS: Not of Ozymandias

What fate
History perceived
Beside the desert sand;
A bare statue
Frozen in time
Still stands erect
To read past passion spent,
Locking lip to lip
The past and the present alive

Not of Ozymandias
I arrange
Those colossal wreck
Or,
Delay
The ravages of time
To survive the memory links

I perceive
Those eternal command
Sneering the frozen clock
That,
Which is,
Eternal in me
Is not set in stones

There,
History perceived
My unattached whole
Boundless and bare
Stretching far beyond the future
Ageless as ever
Locking lip to lip, deathless!
