Analysis of Fall and tide
Tears just dropped
As I had totally flopped
At large scale on each front
Only to repent and bear the brunt
On life's platter
What to utter?
It is tragic
Without any basic
I have nothing to claim as credit
Everything goes on side of the debit
Not a single instance I can cite
As if holy one to recite
What did I give her?
Except pain to bother
Never took her seriously
Harassed and caused shocks mentally
How come people say bluntly?
“Life is like two wheels” fluently
When they observe no norms
Live life like insects and worms
What did I do to justify?
My association to simplify
The living style to suit our need
Except hunt towards greed
She stood by the side
As if to witness areas very wide
Right from marriage life to social obligation
She did right thing for holy relation
I sit under tree and hear melody
She was not ordinary or somebody
But as an integral part of life crusade
I simple made cruel joke and took it as trade
It can be termed as cry in wilderness
Not to be linked to an ideal face
It might have not represented sunny side
Yet to show the world on the side of fall and tide
