We love and we hate,
We hug and we fight,
But we come back togther
Because we know what's really important:
Stay at home and wear our masks,
Keep our distance and
Still stay connected,
The world is in jitter
Human lives do matter
Economy in shatter
Vaccine need of hour.
Healthcare in jeopardy
Management very tardy
Disease a callous malady
Million lost in fatality.
Kids on computers,
Parents out of work.
The climate's changing
And Earth is dying.
Stores are closing and
The streets are empty.
There's smoke in our atmosphere,
Poisoning our air.
Not very often a stranger becomes an integral part of our lives
Is there a better illustration of this truth than the pandemic Corona
Eight billion people of world are facing every day, every hour, every minute
Year 2020 began just like any other year with January being cooler but spirits still higher
February came and we heard of a thing called Corona that seemed distant and life went as usual
DREAM RHYME
Thinking of her
Out of the blue
Wondering where she is
What she's about to do ....
I stop my work
drop my pen
My mind wanders to a time when ....
MY NATURAL HIGH
She's my natural high
My red carpet ride
To another world
Just her with me ....
And the wind
that ruffles her hair
Rain that washes the past away
NIGHT WALK
I want to walk with you at night.
Where you walk alone in the morning light.
When the rising sun pushes away the moon.
Where you walk six hours before noon ....
HURRICANE
Like an unexpected hurricane
You came into my lane.
Jumbled my ways
My nights became days.
I’ve felt this swirling wind before
I thought. For sure!
I'M HERE
Your eyes
your lips
fill my thoughts today....
We talk
We sway
Don’t look away....
I’m here
And there are no lies....
REAR VIEW
I think of my past.
Because you are here at last. It becomes clearerIn life’s rear view mirror ....
OUT OF TOUCH... AREN'T YOU GIRL
You're feeling bad
Out of touch aren't you girl?
Life has taken you on a whirl
Don't let it steal your joy
You're not in anyone's employ....
YOU SAY ... ONLY TIME WILL TELL
You say ... only time will tell.
I say ... I want to hear your heart's bell.
Know that I don’t need you.
But my heart wants to.
My being does not need you.
CORONA
The clock passed our Corona curfew
And I'm still with her
On stolen time
Trying to make our new love rhyme
We are Bonnie and Clyde
Lovers on the hide....
ON A SWING
In the morning when the sun clicks on and she gives a sighAt the last evening star dancing in the pale blue skyThat's when i dream
Of her and me
On a swing....
LADY DAY
Let’s give all to this flower of ours....We’ve been living without love for many hours....With others but always alone....With some sun
ARTS GARAGE
I loved each moment
After Arts Garage
A blues music barrage
Then walking the street at large...
Your touch
Your smile
And for a little while
ALL I WANT
All I want to do Is make love to you With poetryWith musicAnd a caress or two
That boils your heart
A dreamy kiss
That melts like butter in sun
Gypsy Queen. On me leanBe my Gypsy Lover....
The song you sing Makes my heart swing
So play away
To my heart each day
And be my Gypsy lover....
To the wind I will sing:
DON'T LOOK AWAY
Your eyes your lips fill my thoughts todayWe talk We sway Don’t look away I’m here And there are no lies

TABLE 26
I must sayyou were beautiful at lunch today
With laughter of fun
My heart longs to feel the warmth of your sun
And play ...
EVERY MOVE
I’m free to love. Let me be free. A free lover. To All of you.
If you NEED somebody Call my name. If you WANT somebody You can do the same.
SHOOTING STAR
Shooting star Yet so farDancing on the ocean breezeSoundless musicPlays onLet it burn with ease That is what it does....
FEBRUARY 12
In a boat on a floating cloud With marmalade trees and Milky Way skies
Nothing but real allowedOnly natural highs....
I never thought
Our world would stop
Like this, due to covid
Things will become catastrophic
And Nations will be shocked
I never thought
I never thought
I will be locked
I wear my mask not for me, but for you
For your children
For your parents and grandparents
With their cancer, heart disease, and asthma
I fear for their lives
The sickness is brutal
I saw the sun rise from beneath the ground,And bring a time of sunshine and cheer around,When children played around and the nature danced to its own beat,When birds sung their melodies and butterflies came to greet,
It won't feel like this forever
Everyone keeps saying that
That used to be the depression tagline
But now it applies to the entire world
It's the truth
but what about right now?
Hello Corona,
Let's go outside,
Or how 'bout a friends house,
I cannot decide.
Hey friend,
Let's stay inside,
Cause people are sick,
People have dyed.
But I need water,
It began with wings,
leathery skin of a night dweller.
Hiding in plain sight under the veil of darkness.
It could not live nor die, it only was.
Coated in toxicity and bathed in the very blood that worshiped it.
Today has made me feel very dark
For the last month it gets dark and adds a pain to my heart
I don’t miss the school or the stupid fools in it
But I miss the time away from home
We used to be scared of people wearing Hijabs,
Now, everyone is running around covered in masks,
Hiding their faces and scared to embrace,
Anyone other than their own selves.
We used to be scared of people wearing Hijabs,

The world outside seems frozen
In the relativity of the time
Everything's broken
Nostalgia for what's gone
Guilty passiveness, sadness
For those who won't return
Powerless, unable to fight
ना जाने मैं सही हूं , या नहीं
पर आज कहूंगा जरूर
बस कुछ पल , आपको घर पर रहना है
पर आप से , नहीं हो पाये गा
बस कुछ पल , आपको अपने परिवार के साथ कुछ पल बिताना है
पर आप से , नहीं हो पाये गा
Quiet nights, quiet days
Upside down and so confused, what is happening to our world?
Alone and afraid, separated from humanity
Reaching for hands that cannot ever touch
Asking questions that no one can answer
There's fear.
Apprehension.
Paranoia,
If you will.
We hide.
We hoard.
We gossip to our fill.
I'd rather just be free.
To laugh, run, and embrace.
I'd rather take that risk,
Bigorexia, when you just want to bulk up
on muscle, or, Monexia, when you just want
to pump up your paycheck—
