Time and risk caught up to you;
Gagged you into silence.
Chasing down the dragon was
Your favorite form of violence.

I saw its markings on your skin;
The gauntness of your eyes
Your searching fingers scratching down
To truth, as you breathed lies

China white won this round, love
You thought you'd always dance
The dragon chose another one
And turned its gaze askance.

Toss a penny my way
Courage is the art
of being the only one
who knows what you fear.

Everyone is panicking
I just want to Live.
Our situation is serious,  but panicking causes far more harm than good... be informed,  use good sense, take care with what you do and the decisions you make,  and realize that this has always been the case and will still be important even after people calm down.... and all it took was a sub-microscopic un-organism to open our collective eyes...

This simple, inelegant Haiku came to mind the other day when I was at work... I work in a restaurant and that's one of the most iffy spots to be right now... the last line has less to do with worrying about death and more to do with missing the normalcy of life that changed so quickly... I have faith that things will go back more or less to how they were ...eventually ...and I hope that everyone will do their part to make sure we come through this safely and perhaps stronger and more knowledgeable.

right now
we are staring
at each other's soul

right now
we are distanced
like Jakarta to Seoul

right now
we are laughing
though not like cheap flick

our screens
connect us

the last straw
long distance, i guess

Our backs hold stories
Not even the spine
On a book can handle
Forests filter water
Birds & bees pollinate crops
Rivers get us drinking water
We alter ecosystem
Polluting our food platter

Livestock on earth
is health and economic
Source of
prosperity
By destruction of it
Human being is
hanging upside down
Of the fear of
Zoonotic diseases
Having no medicity
Your insults
are just like
petrol
to my
gleaming
firey
personality.

Your insults
don't break me.
they make me stronger.
Life is a ferris wheel.
Sometimes up,
Sometimes down.

Why am I always feeling I'm stuck down?
Lately I've been feeling let down and a bit sad. And thats when i felt, accepting you are in pain is better than suffering alone. Maybe reflection of the past and revision of actions is what i need...and a cup of coffee to warm my soul.
Be back soon x
I begged and pleaded him to stay,
I said I'd protect him come what may,
I apologised for the smallest things that day,
But he looked at me and said "Go Away".

I cried for a long day,
And all through the nights, all I did was pray,
All I need was that ray,
Which would make me close this wound one day.

I fixed my way,
And stitched my wound that day,
Because I was not his princess, I was my own queen to slay.

And even tomorrow if he comes in my way,
And asks me to stay,
I would remember my tears of that day,
And say,
"Darling, no way."
Moving on is closing a door which leads no where. It's stitching wounds. It's forgetting a past to a glorious future.
Toxic people remain toxic. Set them free.
You don't need him. You need yourself.
Here's to a better future.


Hmu if you're going through something similar! =)

harshi.
You're never too late to start afresh.
