Stay inside
Play it safe
There are much greater things to miss than a day at the beach

Beginning with life itself

The creak of a spine
And scent of a musty page
Intoxicates me

In this brave new world of no handshakes and multiple rounds of hand sanitiser there exists a blessed irony: social distancing is bringing my neighbourhood closer together. The solidarity of a shared smile - albeit bestowed from an apologetic distance of two metres - lifts the spirits, straightens the shoulders, and tickles the heartstrings more than any viral meme (no pun intended) could ever do.

GENIE May 2020
I salute you o darkness father of night and light
I salute you o night, Savior from burning light
If light is as friendly as said
Why do we cry at night,
The shame we faced in daylight
There is no shame in darkness
If darkness is as cruel as said,
Why do we seek solace in darkness
When the days rage with craziness
If light is as friendly as said
Why do we wet our night pillows
With tears of deep sorrows
Why do we express ourselves at night,
As we truly are,weak,though strong
What we do in day light
Is mostly show-off
What we do at night
Is the real stuff
Search yourself and you will see,
You trust the darkness more than the light
GENIE May 2020
Don't fail me now darkness,
Save me from Light's threatening blindness
Dankness I need your touch
The heat of the day is too much
Darkness don't you fail me now,
Please don't fail me now
GENIE May 2020
You don't rule because you are king,
You are king because you rule
It's not about titles, it's about attitude.
Attitude are, where titles are not
GENIE May 2020
If you're not ready to take the risk called crazy,
You're not ready to make the reach called genius
