Beyond the margins

 


Like a falling bird

Beyond the margins 

Of the cracks in a broken sky

The shards prick and stab 

When the day interrogates 

What the night cannot reply

The mind sips from the spout

Whereas the shore denies

Even a drop to the parched mind

The beat skipped by a heart

When the dusk slips her hands

Into the grey pockets of twilight

As the night frisks an  evening

With her chilled hands 

Amidst the freezing dusk

What freezes inside is sheer pain

Even if it oozes out sometimes

The transparent drops camouflage 

Within the layers of heedless smile

The words return from the caves

With a smothered echo 

Like a seed sown outside furrow

The weed of a learned mind

The world beyond the margins
