“What matters
Most
Is how well
You walk
Through the
Fire”

Long Island is not the place you want to be
When a pandemic outbreaks into the streets
Neighborhoods are split between those who listen to the CDC
And those who need a tragedy to take the guidelines seriously
Everyday is a guessing game of did Corona catch me today?
Lines outside clinics grew, nose swabs became a normal part of what we do
Masks became the latest fashion trend
Although there are people who refuse to buy them
More people are getting infected around me
When will people start to believe this isn’t just some made up fantasy?
Covid affects everyone who has it differently
I just hope no one dies around me.

Don't want a Gucci
a smoochie
will do for me
well,
two or three snuggles
one or two kisses
and
a few cuddles
wouldn't go amiss.

Seconds, minutes, and hours tick by
Huddled within walls as the time flies
Some of us knit, or sing, or write
Others watch movies to get through the night
If you're searching for me, rush to the nook
You will find me there, on my lap rests a book
Who is counting the days, has it been three or four?
And now many must pass, until the virus is no more
At home is best, think of the others
I tell myself from under the covers
One book read, turned to five then six
Thrillers, romance, and sifi in the mix
And here I sit watching everything unwind
Why has the world turned it's back on being kind
Take a deep breath these hard times too will pass
Lock yourself in a room and enjoy a book while it lasts

The world sits in fear
we have to hold THE LORD near
tbough some drip a-tear
pray, uplift to show a-care
We see LIFE is very dear
as all other things- locked out in the rear
Cherish the moment you share
and with the rhythm of nature you hear
taking life forgranted we shan't longer dare
The bad times soon would goodbye wave
since restoration is what we crave
Earth seek to heal in many ways
and with the healing rays
The SUN of Justice shall rise
and shall we arise
from our seats
Holding life more than dear
#staySafe , keep the world safe!

While rain pours down on the rooftop,
I finally feel calm
and

An angel without wings
Desires to care with a sparkling gaze
Sleepless nights, restless work
They hold strain and treat our pain
Aye, they are the true heroes
Wearing scrubs lacking capes

You are important, they might say.
You are beloved, they want you to stay.
They will comfort you and play.
They will stay with you all day.
But, this goes on only until you pay,
Until those green papers in your wallet lay,
Without them, No matter how much Love you spray.
It's a bitter truth, but, everyone will betray.
So, How much your importance weigh?
Times when people wished you Good day,
Good morning, Good night and Happy Birthday.
They just loved your money every day.

I am in high spirits today
Idle playfulness and boredom
My constant friends
I have accepted into my days
While I try to forget
Everything wrong that I can’t make right
And on a high note,
I bask in this earth day
A great privilege I must say.

A gentle pungence of the nutmeg
Burns the hands that dwell in its ashes
Sprinkle generously, lest you want the
concoction, to turn out bland.
Yet, how would bland be? A curry.
Dressed in an assortment of spices,
As, Cardamoms and Peppercorns and
Cinnamons and Aniseeed_ Do add a
bay leaf as you temper the potion
to a base.
It is joy, manifold_ flavours not just in
conclusion but odyssey of the process.
It is joy, unbound, creation nienté
could bring about such happiness !
Joy of the 'Kitchen Wizard' is
in his pots and potions found !

Genki desu,
I am fine,
self-isolation at home,
self-reflection,
self-relaxing moment,
read a poem,
write a poem,
bake a cake,
eat a slice,
time to heal,
time to help,
time to save,
you&I through this epidemic .

Above this cloud of madness
flows a gentle cool breeze
drifting away all the sadness
striped butterflies flapping at ease
sound of the waves are heard
once suppressed by the chaos
rhythmic crashing no longer weird
silent therapy broken by the gentle dose
If only one drowns deep can one taste
the salt can be the much needed sweet
where there is no emotion to waste
and only generous soul to greet.

She pinged him in the morning,
excited to relay her dream
they had met last night
over coffee and whipped cream
His smile could not be contained
within the mobile screen
while just twelve hours had passed
he texted her how long it had been
The couch looks so depressed
pillow flatter than ever before,
empty bowls of food lined up in front
late night love talks keep eyes sore
She did not care about her top and hair,
wearing a smile was just enough
the excitement of a video call
made both look lovely, although rough.
They chatted and took it slow
having all the time to let love grow
and just keep going with the flow.

Ajab si khamoshi hai
Hawao me ek roshani chhae hai
Logo ko bade arso baad fursat mili apno ke bicha rehane ki kyun ki
Corona ne chaaro aur koharam machae hai
Loga ko aj smjha raha is musibat me daulata kaam na aae hai
Bs ghar se bahar na nikalo sarkar ki itni hi guhaae hai
Phir bhi kuch sadko pe ghuma rahe hai
Shayaad unko baat smjha na aae hai
Dusaro ko kyun jokhim me daal rahe **
Waise hi itni badi aafat china ne laae hai
Doctor desh sb to lada rahe hai
Ab hume bhi saath mila kar ladani ye ladae hai
Swastha rahe ghar pe rahe.

Look around it seems so quite
Finally, the sound of birds can be heard.
Look around there's no car outside
Rushing to get to the finish line.
Streets are empty, the air is fresh
Breathe in and rest.
.
Everyone is home it feels so nice
Like someone gave you back your childhood Time.
Use this time to catch up with the friend inside. .
Don't go out please stay inside
We can fight only if we stand unite.

The alarm wakes me up at seven,
I get ready to face another day,
with nowhere to go even
the whole day at first seems grey
But birds peep through the windows,
worried about the change in norm,
as the world goes through it's lows
I stay indoors during the invisible storm.
A sweet boredom clouds my mind
to maintain my sanity
I travel to any tranquil place I find
in my head and away from earth's gravity
I write, I paint, to go out I refrain
I hear the birds chirp, from my window ajar
I count the twinkles of that lonely star
I observe things I earlier looked in disdain
I try to pluck words from the new garden
where plants imbibe love of the sun
undisturbed, attended only by its own brethren
and my scattered thoughts do not cast shadows
while I watch another sunset at the horizon.

What happened to those eyes full of laughter
Passed on one generation after
Be ceased for all,
For not following something that had to be done afterall
So people its time to wake
do not put each others life at stake
Time to be aware
but don't to be scared
It is time to co-operate
as something cannot be any late
Practice hygiene
that essential lesson which was taught in tween !
Nobody is keen
to live in quarantine
But it has to be followed
to continue life which is mellow
As they say,a person one in a million
One with a queer attitude
Will help us avenge this feud
But what about the remaining billion
Can't they uproot this villain!
So the virus shall die
To complace all those cries
For that shouldn't go vain
As it all revolves around our brain
Whatever might be the fate
But remember it's never too late
However far we stay
But we want to accomplish the same
The thirst must be quenched
For once the Earth must be avenged TOGETHER...

I've never realised,
that I can laugh as hard
with my family,
just like I do with my friends.
