It Was In Winter-2
Thousand winds had blown away
Carrying melodies that soothe the heart
Sending ablaze the drooned shrubs
Giving the saplings a new start
And winter again came calling
It was in winter that I found her
Jaunty silhouette towering above the stares
Wavy hairs caressing her shoulders
With her head resting on the hunk’s chest
I had lost her to the stocks
My head was heavy and spinning round
I couldn’t even tell a thing
I was in a world astronomers only new
Into tales that ales never thought of
I was crumbled to the veins
I dragged my feet to my crib
No one to give my feelings a kick
For I had lost a jewel worth my life
A citadel of hope and happiness
In the morning there was a knock
And I could feel the ripple rush beneath my skin
I stumbled and there they were, holding hands
I shivered and became numb
She had come to say she had moved on
I withered and my heart sunk
For its glow had died out
Her presence now caused fear and not comfort
She left head high in the air
I dropped mine and watched her go
Tears dropped and she went forever
