Two Birds

Under cotton-cloud-shadows would fly two birds
Free from the drivel of daytime's long words
Twig by twig, a tiny nest off steep mountain cliffs 
They built with dark-hued dreams of sheer what-ifs 
Monsoons, meteors, moonlight, murals, myth  
myrrh, music and almost all of magic dealt with 
Limitless sky of limited wings, boundless world  
Streets, sights, flight paths and all of earth's whirl
Mirror to death's first moment, life's very last
Made-up walls, sky roof from bruises of the past
Ambition's nearly-burnt earthern lamp flickers
But those mirror walls, they flash golden pictures
Of two birds who built their love nest, twig by twig 
In words, glimpses and feathered sweet kisses
