Longer sleepless evenings
Humid, dark, and bleak
Serene and sorrowful homes
Blossoming sakura trees weep
With heavyhearted lonely buds
Spring, unforgettable saddest spring
Trees not lovelier and so are fields
Nor the day more delightful than the evening
These unhappy blooms in pink
Signal a different kind of grief

Sakura (cherry blossoms) are constantly cited as the most recognizable sign of spring in Japan. When trees all over the country burst into breathtakingly beautiful clusters of pink flowers right about the time it gets warm enough, people yearly go outside to enjoy. Blooming of the sakura is a beautiful gift from mother nature, hanami (sakura viewing) is done by many people in spring. But due to COVID-19 pandemic, parks right now are being closed to avoid more transmission of SARSCoV2.

Losing The Battle Unless...

Corona Virus has its own story,
It doesn't give a dime who you are,
Whether you are a monarch,
A president,
A Prime Minister,
Or a Religious Leader,
Wealthy or pauper,
Brown,black, white or yellow.
It cannot be stymied, suppressed or controlled,
It is unbeatable and winning,
Only a vaccine can put a stop to this reality,
And we are left to negotiate the terms,
By being hygienic,
Sanitizing,
Social distancing,
And Lockdown.

Bleed

And over time,
My pen stopped bleeding
But my heart didn't

Illusion

All the way long it was an illusion,
To be a part of it was my own decision,
It was after sometime,
When I couldn't feel this breath of mine,
I realized,
How I am going to be despised,
But I just got tangled into it completely,
And was trapped in the cage ultimately,
Not of greed, anger and selfishness,
But of grief, disappointment and life's pointlessness,
Happiness was not a part of this deal,
So it might take a million years to heal.

You live in a dreams.
You manufacture illusions.
-Tennessee Williams

Doomsday

The day I met you
Was the beginning of the universe.
Today as you have left
It is my doomsday.

Trying

The people I believe in
they stopped believing in me,
Of course it's 'cause of my deeds
I think they feel I'm good for nothing

They stopped talking to me
And I started to speak to myself,
Well I know life has to go on
Time won't stop for me

I've gotta get myself together
I've gotta stay strong,
I've gotta move on
I've still gotta believe in me.

But it's all just so hard!

Sometimes just staying strong through the storm can be the most difficult thing to do.
