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
