NOTES FROM QUARANTINE (II) There were nights spent alone,Lost in thought,Wondering what next,And what would become of the journey henceforth, There were times the pain,Almost did me in,But there were also times,The love reminded me of what beauty meant, And amidst it all,What stood out the most;Was the transition we were all involved in,Slowly morphing … Continue reading NOTES FROM QUARANTINE (II)

LETTERS TO OLUDHE (33)
LETTERS TO OLUDHE Na neno ji kathore kech Covid,And al I could think about were the people that mattered;The ones who were once close;I reached out,And it seemed that, not even the possibility of death;Could make us put our differences aside;Despite it all, I will always show love,To the ones who once had a special … Continue reading LETTERS TO OLUDHE (33)
SENDING PRAYERS FOR THE ONES WE’VE LOST
SENDING PRAYERS FOR THE ONES WE’VE LOST In a way,I had hoped that returning to a normal,Was something possible;Something I could hope for;But as the death toll rises,And we remain clueless to new strains;I’m scared that we might just not make it. LOVE & PAIN
SCOURGE
I lost family, and a part of me is still in denial, unable to come to terms. I saw a friend battle for his life, and it still scares me; had my own scare, and it felt like this was terminal. Heard of a family that lost a mother and daughter; with the son and … Continue reading SCOURGE

There was heartbreak that was dealt with; there was the girl I met who … Continue reading WHAT 2020 MEANT
NOTES FROM QUARANTINE
NOTES FROM QUARANTINE One thing 2020 has taught me,Is the importance of stability;This year has been rocky;Lives turned upside down;Resilience tested,But somehow,We still found our way around it,Coping, adjusting, understanding, thriving. LOVE & PAIN
QUARANTINED
QUARANTINED I miss seeing the city come alive at night,The lights on the free-way,And the gentle revs in between bursts of torque;It always seemed to calm me. LOVE & PAIN
TRIBUTE TO KEN OUKO
TRIBUTE TO KEN OUKO My heart goes out,To all who knew him,And those that met him; Just found out about the news;And my heart breaks; This was the kind of man;You had to meet at least once; He was full of energy and life;He understood the world,The way it should be seen; First death by … Continue reading TRIBUTE TO KEN OUKO
COVID TIMES
COVID TIMES I’ve been drinking a lot of coffee of late;Early mornings,Late nights;But that’s the beauty of being part of this moment in time; I like my women how I like my coffee,Strong;And I’m a sucker for cappuccinos;The sweet creamy warmness of something strong; Adjusting to this new normal;Has proved to be a daunting task;But … Continue reading COVID TIMES
LIFE IN THE TIME OF CORONA
LIFE IN THE TIME OF CORONA It was slowly settling in to our minds,That corona was here to stay; It wasn’t just a bad moment in a day,That we could easily dispel away with, Or a cut that you put a bandage over;And moved on to the next task, The pandemic was real;And living amongst … Continue reading LIFE IN THE TIME OF CORONA
