The winter !!!

There is something about this winter,
that’s against me.
It had been killing; it had been shivering;
it had me left with no energy worth living;
but never like this, this feel of loneliness, it could force.

I have walked through the lonely streets,
even without the company of barking dogs
but, the silence could never swallow my presence.
I just wasn’t there, I had lost my existence.

I have lived alone in vacant houses,
even without the lizards sticking out their tongues,
but the blank faces of the walls could never cage.
I just wasn’t there, i  had lost my existence.

But, there is something about this winter;
giving shape to my naked loneliness,
like the snow envelops the mountains,
may be it knows of my helplessness;
and I just wait for the sunny days !!!

A beautiful poem indeed of imagery & sensitivity.
Liked it immensely & enjoyed the feeling.
Really you have lost & found yourself,
So have we, lost & found, you.
