Waiting for Dawn

ready to conquer the world

at the slightest

moment

the COVID-19 falls from

the tower of doom

hitting the ground

with deadly force

and wheezing

like a miserable ghost

as i punch it

in the eye

crushing its evil body under

the fading flower

i alter its form and shape

and the genetic composition of the disease

along the way

i find the cure

to the coronavirus menace

at dawn

saving humanity
from the pandemic

with deafening roar

under the autumn sun

Love and Poetry Blossom

the star of doom

adorns the mysterious crown

of COVID-19

a crown of sickness and pain

designed by the moving atoms

of death

at the crack of dawn

amid the gloom

a vile infection

makes its presence felt

threatening catastrophe

upon the land

and running amok

over the weak and the defenceless

and now the evil wind

of the coronavirus pandemic

blows through the realm

like a carriage of ghosts

ravishing the great

city of dreams

in autumn silence

yet there is a glimmer of light

at the end of the tunnel

a rising sense of hope

in the darkest moment

as love and poetry blossom in earnest  

we flatten the curve

in the nick of time

sharing the love

the spark of life within
