Breakfast

The Poetry that I never created, 
But the seconds of my day 
That I adored so much. 
Couldn’t grip the moments
Of my day in my fists  			5
As the iceberg of the day 
Set into water and spilled over 
From the seams of my fists.

After my morning routine, 
I’d befall at 				`	10
The dining table of my kitchen
For my everyday breakfast 
With a Mug of Coffee  
Or a Cup of Tea 				
Arising the whole fullness in		15
The emptiness within me.

The morn spun another page
Of my erstwhile diary
With the deeds of that very day,
Too much absorbed I’d be in                20
Savoring the flavor in me
So that my time spilled out 
Of my clenched fists
Might never be in futile.
