Beggar Poem by Mayasanal Suryakalady

Beggar

Rating: 5.0


The Sun descends below the far horizon,
To draw shadow of despair over the world.
Like frigid clutches of mortality,
The chillness of evening flows around.
Wanders for shelter from the frosty night,
The poor old chap with his days alms!
Shivering in the icy wind, his face red and green;
Heart burning with pain, sorrow and hatred
He looks against the boreal forest
Yearning for a bonfire, shudder under rags
Showering curse on fate and self
Out at the prolonged night he stares,
His gaze fixed somewhere but nowhere
Does it ends with dawn or ends with end? !

a nice girdle... The Sun descents below the far horizon, .but blind to. Shivering in the icy wind, his face red and green; Heart burning with pain, sorrow and hatred Showering curse on fate and self Out at the prolonged night he stares,
