like the mist on a cold winters day <br />a beautiful figure descends from the sky <br />the body frozen in unimaginable awe <br />an angel sent from the heavens <br />to bless this paupers eyes <br /> <br />moving towards this enchanted figure <br />anticipation takes over the body <br />wishing to caress this beauty <br />hoping to embrace for an eternity <br /> <br />alas for every attempt made <br />this wonder floats further away <br />despair coursing through the veins <br />water shedding from the eyes <br /> <br />twas then when lightning struck <br />and the body paralysed <br />for not even the eyes could close <br />that this form of serenity seem to cease <br />alas now twas clear <br />what needed to be done<br /><br />Sakib Choudhury<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cold-winters-day/
