Frozen
the heat was intense,
the burn was fast ,quick and big,
the raze went inside with deep sense,
the temperatue rose and rose,
till all matter began transforming,
everything stayed in same position and pose,
it could not move,
so also I could not,
my body burned and burned in groove,
the tissues,muscles and bones,
all got scorched and black,
where fire was merciful it was brown,
acrid smell and smoke went up,
inside the nostrils,
they could not smell,
as their powers were also burnt up,
suddenly I felt a cold wave,
rising from deep inside,
it was smooth and fast and no chance it gave,
it spread so fast that chill could not be felt,
it ran past fast both side of belt,
as I fell,
I had the last thought,
that it was not fire,
but that I was frozen still.
