When the coldest of winds are blowing,
When the nights seem never-ending,
When the pain snaps your resolve, when it crushes your spirit,
I will be there for you.
My eyes meet yours in that flash of pristine white,
In midst of poetic declarations and fireworks in the sky,
Those are your eyes
Brightening up the darkest nights.
I stand in front of you,
Uncertain and smiling,
Hurt yet hiding,
The thoughts I forbade, the tantrums I threw.
The stories tilted with heartbreak sound the best,
The colour of red,
The cries across the wind,
To them, it was laughter, and jest.
The days of agony and the regrets over my miscall,
The nights of eyes open, the days of eyes closed,
That was the past, I say now,
Time is the best healer after all.
I stand here again today,
Stronger, smarter,
Braver, bolder,
Finally, having crossed the doubts, the areas of grey.
Who said angels are the ones who close our wounds?
It is us who make the choice,
It is us who open our eyes,
It is us who break out of our cocoons.
It is a new day,
With the scent of Jasmine,
The sight of the mustard fields,
The words of a fresh start, a new beginning on display.
I stare into the eyes I call my own,
I look into the mirror, I revel in what I am now,
I gloat at everything I have beaten,
Everything that had once dragged me down.
When the coldest of winds are blowing,
When the nights seem never-ending,
When the pain snaps your resolve, when it crushes your spirit,
I will be there for you.

Its rythm, meaning and content are creative and attractive , one would feel ,it is by a matured and seasoned poet of English. We are always waiting on Sunday evening this teen’s creative literature.God Bless.
It’s again Anantinee! Omg it’s unbelievable for me. What to say I am running short of word..her writing skill is awesome..while going through this , just I was thinking who has written it! Must be a matured person who had experienced all good and bad things in life..but at the end when I saw our granddaughter’s name couldn’t control my tears it was out of pride and joy..
All the best my angel.
Love and blessings.
