Winter Thoughts

In Collaboration with Kesha...

Winter Thoughts

​

The snow cascaded in front of her,

​f​

lakes landing on her lips,

​h​

er thoughts instantly went to him

​,​

​a​

nd that time he left her outside.

​Leaving, in that smokey aura

where winter leaves surrounded her.

Burying herself in a castle of emotions;

and there she sealed her heart​.

Turning the lock and throwing the key,

determined to leave her shattered mind behind.

Dancing with the snowflakes,

​s​

he disappeared into the night.

The night clouds enshrouded her very soul;

she questioned the mere thought 

of existing without him

​,​

 

as she came by the paths they'd crossed together, 

​

​

​wrapping​

 herself in the blanket of his warm thoughts

​.​

 

Her breathing became shallow,

a​

nd her thoughts were dark

​.​

Now wondering where it was he went to,

​

and why he 

​left​

 without ever saying good-bye.

​And in that moment she realized.

They'd never been one; but two separate beings,

and she was deluded into believing

that they were destined to be one...

She was unwilling to admit defeat,

however hurt that he ran with her heart,

with her head held high,

​ ​

and the moon as her guide,

​s​

he 

knew​​

 she 

would​

 be alright. 

Embracing these winter thoughts,

the night now smiled down at her

​;

​

 

​her nostalgia washed away​.

everything fell back to place; a blissful oblivion...​

Seems this collaboration is both an emotional healing and learning experience; phrased almost perfectly as the one writer melts into the other's thoughts. When one learns from hurt, time lessens the scar.. and, life goes on. Perhaps.

Fine work, Kesha and Yumna.

Hahaha I'm just kidding.
I really loved it, you used beautiful words, and you described things very good.
Beautiful! :D

Nice twist on healing! :)

[Kesha]

Thank you! :)

[mou]

yes right...if the dark intense emotion is needed to be magnified then winter is the only best season..silence everywhere but except within the heart and memory..we thought that something can be bound by our most sincere love and care but faith smiles and teach that we are just a toy of it where playing object is just emotion..very touching and wonderful write...

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you for this thoughtful review and for liking this collaborative effort, mou. Truly appreciate it 😊

[Kesha]

Thank you for the lovely review :)
