Thumping amongst the dark woods they were threading with a snail’s pace,
for they weren’t sure which way was their space.
They walked ahead, they walked sideways,
For it wasn’t the journey they take – always.
Sushhhhhhh Sushh Sussh shhh came some noise from bushes and creek,
Their nerves went crazy and voices went meek.
Upon her fell clutters of leaf,
They saw – too near was a deep cliff.
Terror struck them as wooshed some cars in the lane by their side,
But none stood by them and they were left to stride.
Came a shadow, it hit them on their face,
That what will follow is unknown, those on daily wages yearn for money. Atleast we can tame the known, just sit at home with your honey.
Can hear the birds chirp, and also few times the rooster crow. Be a potato on the couch and burp, while watching a matinee show.
The silence around is deafening, no bullet, no motor. We are on a go, we are still fighting, no big basket, no grofer.
Few search reason to jump on the street, also few roam without one. Why you want to go and greet, while helping the virus get its job done.
When food and stuffs are over, then get down, once home get sanitized. Don’t over fill your rack and make a tower, everyone has stomach to be filled.
If you get a chance to feed, feed the birds, the animals and the poor. To the rumours do not pay heed, Stay safe, stay indoor.
Not everyone get more than they ask, a break we have got – just scroll and rest. Few brave hearts are doing their task, if not well, then go get yourself a test.
Don’t panic – just Quarantine, you never will have such a chance. As said a stitch in time saves nine, let’s be ready for our victory Dance.

Caressing her cheeks with his palms he said you are still hot. She retorted, “Always for you” He blushed and got her medicated cloth placed it on her forehead, She resisted but he insisted. Holding the cloth across her head, He slept on the wall against. As the clock struck two, Sickness had made her shut her eyes.
He moved a bit and She had her eyes opened too Pulling a pillow beneath his head, She made him sleep and She slept at a distance, not to let it spread. In the morning her flu was gone, And her tiredness too. It was he who cured her, Than her medicines which were more than two.
I have had a pathetically long long gap in my writing. I have not been reading as well. I have not had that urge to write or read as well. So I have decided to give myself time. But somewhere am feeling this time gap is stealing the shine.
Since then I have had a feeling that I have been missing on something. Writing and reading has always been an important part of my life. Yes I have to agree am watching Amazon & Netflix series and movies more lately. But that has been kind of an urge to know what happens next. Leading me to watch the next episode, season or series.
Writing and reading was an addiction for me. And that’s clearly an addiction for your betterment. Now I have not completely withdrawn, but yes I have had a long gap. Still figuring out where’s and why is that gap? I really want the force of addiction back. I want to read, I want to write, I want to shout and scream through my lines.
Hope to come out louder and clearer in front of the world with my thoughts and words. Just waiting for my voice to be back!!
