The Warmth In Darkness

By Kanmani.M

The glasses I see are covered in frost

The chillness in the air

Seeps in my skin

Eating up every fat cell of mine…

The coldness tightens my throat

Letting no words to fall out.

I shiver

My teeth clutter

I feel my bones getting icy…

The cold pierces my heart

Trying

Beating it

To open

To empty the warmth I survive on…

Blue turns my skin

Freezing my brain

Slowing my blood flow…

I feel the chillness in my nerves

Amplifying

Trying to conquer me…

The mere piece of warmth

Reluctant to stand up

Fuels me up

In the polar territory

Of inhumanity and the darkness…

The warmth,

The compassion it holds

Becomes the reason

For I breathe…

The warmth teaches me of humanity

How I could burn myself

Be the light in darkness…

The world needs more warmth

And I could become one too!

Thanks to the warmth in cold

I see light in darkness

I glow, not burning myself anymore

But chasing down the darkness!
