One winter night
Lying numb on the bed
Heart started crawling
To an undying flashback
A forever silent wall
Embossed a question
That the mind was chanting
Glowed in every moon ray
A helpless mind
Living in a volcanic anger
Starts hurting itself
By screams of retake
Desires of happiness
Stitches the heart intact
That is occasionally ripped
Due to love-hate conflict
A mat of affection
Flew from a small niche
Where I could see the shiver
Of a tiny heart hugging itself
A heart with a deep yearn
That grew without nurture
With time that's not known
The hunger for a warm embrace
Every stare in the sky
A strong hope for warmth
One Touch from the Almighty
And those lil eyes go wet
Just like the inner chill
The winter wore a robe of snow
Every vision turned blur
Similar to the living moment
Frozen feel everywhere
From the cold fingers of hand
To the scary cold beats of heart
All seemed itching and arid
In the book of destiny
Every detail gets recorded
Not a single sheet of paper
Illustrated the story of hope
