Enigmatic…(Poem)

In the relentless tick of the wristwatch, time reveals its cruel indifference—Father Time eroding youth, flesh, and fragile hopes into dust, while death lingers like an inevitable embrace. This piece confronts the quiet terror of running out of moments for authentic love, crushed instead by the heavy, hollow weight of lust and repeated defeats. What begins as mysteriously alluring (“enigmatic”) slowly fades from the heart, leaving an emptiness as elusive and hard to reclaim as the raw, heartfelt loyalty woven into Nas’s “One Love” on Illmatic—a track that, amid Queensbridge grit and loss, captures a deeper, street-forged bond that’s painfully rare in a world of fleeting connections.

In the hush after the last tick fades from the wrist, patience crumbles like forgotten ash—love’s enigmatic glow snuffed out not by drama, but by the slow grind of defeats, lust’s bruising weight, and Father Time’s indifferent pull toward the abyss.
