Captive’s Captive

A bird forever caged,
Will simply learn to listen –
Stalls its chirps,
Eyes wide open.
Glaring at its keeper –
Bird becomes watcher.

Free at last
But wiser than ever.
The world outside
Is not ready for the duo.

Watcher & keeper…
Trapped in their tower.



Poem By Sanjeev ‘Cimeries’ Retnasingam
