Warmth of a hug

A touch that moves me to the core

Cradling me in a warm blanket

And I close my eyes for profound effect

Enclosing me, in a sensation which seems perfect

When someone embraces me

In their arms

It feels warm and cozy

And the experience is mesmerizing

Often, my cheeks turn rosy

A seamlessly glorious impression

Of a person’s love and connection

For me

A hug can behold a lot more

Than what one supposes

It symbolizes and enfolds a lot other sentiments

And I’m left behind clutching its contents

I am drawn by the astounding vibe

While I barely perceive the time passing by

A second feels like a thousand years

When you enjoy something so deeply

It has the corners of my lips tipping up sweetly

I let a wave of emotions flow over me

Leaving the spots tingling when let go

As the ache of parting hits me

And I feel something behind my eyes

White spots, some call it tears

Overflow my eyes and cheeks and my face

When I am so awestruck by the spell of a hug

I realize to have never felt this before

I wish for more such heartwarming events to come forth

And gift me with compelling hugs 

Hug, it’s such a small word

But few manifest the profundity of it

And spot the intensity in one’s eyes

When struck by the miraculous powers of it

Hence gratify the emotions and passion 

Of little events in life

Feel it to the depths of your being

Be it for a thousand years of time.
