Winter's Demand Poem by Muhammad Yazid

Winter's Demand

Rating: 4.5


I live under summer's mercy
but no matter how much my skin profits from sun's warmth
no matter how much heat which I have been adapted to

my heart longs for winter's cold
and the snow (how it seduces me to take a risk)
and gentle bites and vapour breaths

but

the weather demands surrender (not payment)
and until I accept the cost I will stay
afire.

Beautiful train of thought, well articulated and nicely penned in good diction with conviction. Lovely poem indeed. Thanks for sharing Muhammad. Please read my poem CHILDREN OF CRUEL FATE.
