Oh Winter! Poem by Iwantnothing fromtheworld

The magic you bring,

the coldness, the chill,

Leaves have started turning orange,

I can see you coming,

Oh winter! It's hot here.

Come fast.

The tempests, the wind,

the rain keeps on splattering

against my glasses,

I can see you coming,

Oh winter! I'm missing the warm blankets,

the dark evenings,

the late sunrise.

Come fast.

The kites have started flying,

in the blue of the sky,

the sunlight slides off them,

flying diamonds, sparkling plastic.

what's the difference?

One flies, another doesn't.

Oh winter! I am missing the morning walks,

in the foggy, frosty, dewy black roads,

I am missing the warm sweater over my cold body,

I am missing the coffee cups.

I am missing the orange peels

littered all over the terrace.

Come fast.

Even the street children,

I pass by them every morning,

seem to have smelt the winter in the air,

they are wrapped up, with any clothes they can find,

thrown into some dump yard, old and discarded.

The mornings have already gotten chilly!

Too bad I don't wake up early.

I wanted to feel the sun rise up,

and gradually warm up my body

that was cooled by the early morning dew.

Oh winter! I am missing the orange sunlight,

that wakes up after half the country is awake,

Come fast.

And bring happiness with you,

just like you did last year.
