Beyond * * * *

[Urooj Butt 863]

 

Beyond 
* * * *

Beyond the sound
And beyond the taste.
Beyond these faces
Flowing like days.
Beyond your smile
And your pain,
Beyond some passing tender beauty.
Beyond the shiver of judgment, 
Beyond your memories
Chasing you like shadows,
Beyond your voice
Beyond your name,
Beyond
Your wishes
And satisfying words.

Beyond your skin,
Beyond at last your grave…
And still Beyond,
And still Beyond
And far Beyond…

Beyond
Is not hereafter,
Is always here now
This Grate Beyond…

Beyond your whisper
And your cry,
Beyond all questions of your mind.
Beyond a sudden look
Of a stranger into your eyes…

Beyond the silence
And your inner flame…
Beyond the sound…
