Frozen
“Winter of despair grips the fallow mind,
as lancet wind of desolation slices solace,
the song of sad bird freezes in silence”- by poet
In the frame of the reclined verdant bough,
opulent with the fine filigree of emerald foliage,
a delicate design I made with love-laced twigs
for the nest of my adoring desire,
I weaved with the finesse of fervor.
On the wings of winter wafting in polar wind,
the wilted leaves of my longing
blew away rustling to the realm of nowhere.
Dismal in my frosted nest on the skeletal tree,
I counted in heartbeat the footsteps of twilight.
My yearning turned into glacial embrace,
you escaped from the fold of frozen love,
flew away far to the sun soaked sky.
Desolate in freezing darkness of the arctic nest,
I live in memory with the frozen feather you left.
