Ozymandias v. ponder these busted statues

The poem Ozymandias expresses the importance of time to the ancient king Ozymandias and his ruins. The poem goes on to describe the incredible empire that Ozymandias had created in the ancient times, and how it is currently shattered into pieces with "nothing besides remains" left over. The central point expresses that  something so vast can be destroyed in time. On the other hand, the poem ponder, darling, these busted statues by e.e. cummings compares a sarcastic love story to ancient ruins. The poem is a pun on other "seize the day" poems such as To His Coy Mistress. Moreover, the central theme of cummings' poem is the necessity to take advantage of the time that two lovers may have because just like an infrastructure of a city, love and emotion does not last forever.
