Winter

A frosty winter morning in the high hills,

When the cool breeze is piercing continuous chills,

I laze alone on my snuggly couch inside my snow clad cottage,

As though the world around has come to a sudden stoppage,

My heart often feels as cold as my freezing hands,

As though some grim spells have been casted by the distant icy lands,

Not a sound to be heard, not a soul to be seen, 

Everything turns white, there's no green,

A gloomy silence and everything's still,

Makes me lose all my strength and will,

An air of despondency freezes my brain,

Just like the snow weighs down the trees in the lane,

I sense no hope, no joy, just the pain,

As though all the happiness in the world got drenched in the last night's rain,

Oh! How much I miss your touch and the endearing embrace,

And the warmth of love on your face,

Now that I am all by myself and there's none to offer me solace, 

I have nowhere to go, looking for my happy space,

My joyful life has turned into an everlasting winter, grim and cold,

A divine love story that got converted into grief, which came untold,

Leaving behind only memories to behold,

And a heart full of sorrow to hold,

Knowing you're no longer here, it makes my heart ache,

From my deep sleep, I wish not to wake,

When I visualise you with my closed eyes,

I wish you'd come back from the skies,

To bring me relief from the sting,

To turn this gruesome winter into pleasant spring,

Deep within I know, you've gone too far,

Out of my reach, you've become a star,

But even now when the bells of the church ring,

A flashback of happy memories they bring,

The times when we held hands and walked together,

Even the frigid nights felt cosier,

We would whisper all night long,

And life seemed like a melodious song, 

Pondering through these memories, all I wish for is a cup of hot coffee,

While I snuggle in my cosy blanket reading yet another beautiful love story,

For I still believe in the power of love,

And I know I shall surely meet you somewhere above!
