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.

This poem has a really nice essence to it. I loved the imagery
Especially when you said
​"f​lakes landing on her lips,
​h​er thoughts instantly went to him​,​
​a​nd that time he left her outside"
Thats a really good symbolism of his relationship with her in my opinion which was cold and unwelcoming
Great job!!!

[Kesha]

Thank you very much! Happy you liked it :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you, Pia Farooq. Glad you liked this collab 😊

[Tabby Mac]

Wow! This is amazingly expressed and written! The imagery the story itself elegantly written into a poem! The winter cold compared to hearts in the undertones. You have awesome talent! I love the head held high at the end. The mind process reads so smoothly like the words just spilled out on to the paper without effort.
Well penned! I just love this piece!!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahah I thought that thing was under observation lol 😂😂

[Tony Jordan]

Lol@ Kesha...you don't know what you're missing...lol

Yumna - everything is under observation now - me, you, Mr Writer, the thing...it's Big Brother gone madddddddd !! 🕵️

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Poop or pop? 😂😂😛

[Tony Jordan]

Lmao - I don't even want to think what 'pop' might imply...haha ...too funny...

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I can think hahah I had an even better word but considering you're a tiny boy, so..... 😂😂😂

[Tony Jordan]

xD

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Of course 😛😉 so have you 😛😂

[Tony Jordan]

I do indeed Dr Key. xD

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Haha I knew you would call me that lol memories can be a great burden sometimes btw...

[Tony Jordan]

Tie a rock to the bad memories and chuck them into the creek of the mind while the good memories can be tied to cork and they will float - NO NOT LIKE TURDS... see...I can anticipate your every move Yumna...haha

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahaha well that would take a giant size rock 😛😂

[Tony Jordan]

The Earth - maybe that's what Plath meant ...lol

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Err where? 😎

[Tony Jordan]

Your previous status quote about Plath not wanting the world to 'touch her' - if the purpose of said world were just to weigh the bad memories down then it would be understandable if she didnt want it to touch her... keep up Yumna ...lol

[Mr.Writer]
