The Brim.

The brim is never reached

The flashes of memories, like thunderstorms

attack, sermon and misguide me

weaken me, and yet I 

gulp it down with a peg of vile.

The grief is at times, too intense

So much that you can hardly breathe

and yet take in, take in
and the kiln is never too hot
the pot never too full,
Ah! what a mighty heart Oh Lord!
Ah! a witty world this is!

  2. grief can certainly be a bit much...and i think sometimes we do take too much in, in reality...always finding new things to stuff in...there are def somethings i dont mind pressed down and running over just a bit...smiles.

  4. The heartbreak and grief is so tangible in this poem.  I love the lines "The flashes of memories, like thunderstorms  attack, sermon and misguide me."  Very nicely written!

  8. True Victoria!

    And also, our tensile strength keeps increasing too..That would be the probable reason for such great elasticity we have that the brim is never reached..until we die..

  10. The grief chokes you but you still breathe and endure the loss that overflows. What a thought Priyanka! You always amaze me. I am always awestruck by you. It will never fade or dilute. I will be following all your writings always. With each of your work. my greed for your success only grows.  Its time you climb the ladder to celeb-hood. You have worked hard, enough to assist you to scale the next height. You are beyond any competition, Lady!!! Trust my words, they never fail me, they willn't fail you.
