In times of crisis
We’re all a bit lifeless
this Corona virus
Spreading minus bias

Isolated from all
government protocol  
So I sit, and I scrawl
head to wall, long haul

I get it... I do.
I fear my mind will stew
Clinging to screws
“Don’t come loose”

But to be sincere
Only one thing is clear  
Can’t wait to see’r
I need her near

Waves of sadness
Two metre madness
A Surprising vastness
Our towns a blank canvas

In times of of crisis
We rely on kindness
And I’m indecisive
But right now priceless

Our mobile devices  
...****
Inspired by the current COVID-19 / corona virus lockdown

It's sad that I have to stop
So that in life I don't walk but hop.

It's time to build my own reality
In a way I can live my dream in it .

I often think maybe I should
Live my reality in my dream
But who would I be kidding
It will only be true as long as I am dreaming.

I am not retiring
But merely on a break
I will be returning
As my dream is at stake.

All I can ask from you
Is to wait for me
For when I return
I will be free .
I love writing and music , but I am at a stage where I have to build a career so that I can peacefully pursue my writing and music .
I will be back in a year.

I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE

I don't love you anymore
Still, I am unable to love someone else.

Nothing brings me more joy knowing,
You were my first love.
Nothing brings me more sorrow knowing,
You will be my last love.

She asked me if I loved her
I told her I did.
But when I looked inside me,
I knew I lied.

I couldn't break her heart,
Because she loved me.
She wasn't the heroine of the story,
But she loved me.

I didn't give her a reason,
But she understood.
It broke her, upset her and angered her
That I just couldn't love her .

My heart is closed and abandoned,
It doesn't allow anyone to enter it
Because somewhere in there
You still live in it .

I have been with many,
Didn't love one .
Never actually been with you
But always knew that you were the one

I still try to mingle,
Everytime I can .
I really like them  
But love, I don't know if I can.

Fake am I
Know me?
Don't you dare
I am to scared
To open my heart
To someone who might dart
Off and leave me heart less
For that is what she did
So I hide it
And no one
Will ever know it

Our love is
bigger than paper.
It's made of flesh and
bone and blood.
Words can't tear it apart.
Distance won't taint it.
My spirit groans
without you.
My soul feels empty
and alone.
I feel like a ghost wandering,
lost, like a blowing leaf.
Grief has become me.
I hunger for you.
Feed me.
I think of you there,
lonely and afraid.
I want to take
you in my arms and
hold you, until the
rain stops.

I'm in love
My soul burns
I'm in love
I look into soultry dark eyes
I hear the soft whispers of his voice,
Feel the touch of his breathe dancing across my neck

I'm in love
My heart aches
His passion burns me
His distance freezes me
The dark abyss inside grows deeper

I'm all alone
My feelings swirl
I'm all alone
Darkness spreads
Loneliness grips

I'm all alone
No one wants me
Tangled in the past
Never knew how to get rid of that
I retaliated the Way I could
But it was way too hard

The memories we built together
Is ******* my heart
I could still feel the mist of the memories
We shared before we went apart

It's quite absurd to say but
I still garner the moment of our past
I am still in quandary why
I keep prattling about you in night

I bungle to keep my promise
to walk down with you,
the stairs of my life
I don't know how are you dealing with it
Cause deep inside me
its demolishing my heart

I don't know how it will end
But i am ready for the consequences
Of dwelling with the memories we shared together
Cause i have credence that
this is my inclination to live my life

Tangled in the memories of you and me
Together in the past.

I do not want to part from your sweet smile!
(Who blesses me sweetly with soothing bliss)
Even though I know it is for a while,
'Twas not enough for me, that parting kiss.

I will go far away, the road is long,
So far away from you, for quite a long time,
Thus I want you to listen to my song
Of separation's woe, weaved with a rhyme.

But oh! there is something: a light called hope,
Who's my dear friend, usually at my side
When rest and peace are near, so I can cope
With all the pain, like breathing oceans wide.

Although I'm far away on my vacation,
You stay in my binding imagination.
Written out of boredom at the airport. A poet can write about love without a person in mind I believe.
