Benumbed by the chills
of your brumal memories
I lay frozen every night
under the crisp moonlight
the shivers crack the bones
but the pain glaciates
while your sleeting thoughts
continue to pierce my mind
the sleep somewhere quivers
keeping me wide awake
and dreams come to frost
deep in my gelid eyes.
– Chhaya
Okay, so it had elements of love, pain and a crisp blend of both.
I could feel the numb mind with all the wintery chills and thought.
Nicely crafted and in a soft poignant manner.
Loved reading it as always.:)

Your use of glaciates is perfect in this piece and certainly captures the creeping nature haunting memories of a loved one passed on from this world. This is poetry at its best!!!
