Sometimes a metaphoric cold sets into your soul...Cooling of hearts can be colder than the coldest of winters...


This Winter is too Cold...

This winter is too cold for me
It freezes me to bone
My heart just melts with melancholy
While soul freezes with cold...

This winter is too cold for me
It freezes me to bone...

Your cooling is like the wintry frost
It descends on my soul
Chill sets into my spirit
Freezes it to core

This winter is too cold for me
It freezes me to core...

And I shiver like a leaf-
yellow-brown and sore
that the next gush of wind can
detach from its source:
Fearing death of soul...

This winter is too cold for me
It freezes up my soul...

When the ice of your heart
will thaw towards me?
When will the snow melt,
When will there be spring...

This winter is too cold for me
O, Will there be Spring?

A fine poem with images that wrap the reader in a cloak of admiration. It made me want to know more about the winters in India... and of course the underlying cause of the poem's theme. A captivating write, most certainly!
