Morning (C)Rush
I saw a red shoe-flower on the tar road,
the Latin name of a flower that still stays in my mind.
So bloomed and full of life
And so striking the contrast was
that such a beautiful sight it was.
If the road was a living thing
it would feel as we would,
when we hold a newborn in our arms.
But within nanoseconds my thoughts withered
I knew it was in danger.
It didn’t know where to go.
In its undefined path, it was all astray.
I neither had the time nor thought
to save it.
This time, within even lesser than a nanosecond
A truck came rushing in.
It crushed the flower
Under its rugged black tyre.
Now all I see is a crumpled object
Like the one that has been thrown from a frustrated poet.

thanks for the comment sriram!! well the actual thing that came to my mind was a scene from any movie where a lover tries to draft a letter to his beloved and struggling to get the right words. anyway as u said nowadays emails rule.
i am unable to post a comment on ur blog...but to say bout the
poem.....excellent...i have felt this some times, when u come along
the cit colony into the anna saalai, where there are lots of this
Yellow flowering trees n the flowers would all b scattered in the
road....even i have run my bike over them n each time i do it, i would
have some feeling....i couldnt explain it...but u have tried to do
it...n it has come out well.

Hi, i did see ur comment on my post titled "beautiful minds". Thanks!
And yeah,
when i read this poem of urs, I just couldn't help linking it to a deeper meaning..the duality that exists in this world, in many forms - the rich and the poor, the mighty and the weak, to quote a few. Nice one!
