All I Wanted for Christmas
Monday, January 14, 2008
Dark scary December night
Cold. Dry. Miles long
Eyes full of pain, lips wearing a smile
"For you my baby ", you said, "I will fight "
Keeping your promise
you fought on
Long days, full of pain
Longer nights, when I sat by your side
Your hands, growing cold, kept me warm
"I am scared ",
clutching you,
I whispered in the dark
Smiling the pain away,
You asked in the voice so faint
"It’s a week to Christmas,
What do you want for that day? "
I had so much to say,
you had so much to hear
I never got to tell you,
I wanted to look like you one day
The angels were arriving, the sky turning a faint blue
So many wishes I had
But all I wanted for Christmas,
was you.

@Brosreview -
thanx Ajey.. i really feel so nice to know that u r reading all my poems :)
Dear oh dear! I felt a trickle of tear running down my cheek as I reached the end of this poem. My heart feels very heavy. I remembered the Mystical Angel (which of course you are very well aware of) - I can hear my heart cry the same way it did when I wrote that poem, in fact it pains more so today than that fateful day.
There will be no praises for this poem as it would look like I am saying "I love the tragedy!" However, I must say that the pain has been so intense that these words were forged with the power to transmit the same vibes to its readers.
@Vittal - this poem is as personal as it gets
why is it a scanned copy,,, its one of ur published work, is it?
liked it, but ur recent poems are far better...
Goood One Chhaya!!!
