OFF THE BRIM

For a reason
for good, for bad
for god knows whose treason
for me, for you for my lad
for a day when time stood still
for a time i went numb
when i could feel the guilt
when all i did was succumb
to the pain i felt in my heart
to the wonder of the meticulous part
for it did give me an insight
it did justice to my plight
the way i see it
it has always been there
i just had to do the requisite
i had to just let it sink in
and it all went off the brim....

Trampled Flowers

the days go on and on
i wonder
how life would've been
with different choices
with few other scenes
life is a little crumpled, a little in dismay
but isn't it like the flowers
trampled beneath the feet
still fragrating
still very much the serene aroma
still the beauty
just a little crushed
is how i see it now
like the sun rays peeping from
behind the dark cloud
there is a ray of hope
in life which never goes
i knew it all along
but now i feel the sea waves on my toes.
