These nocturnal mornings..
A product of virus induced,
Unstable raging routines
Sting me just a bit more when
It dawns upon me that,
My knight in shining whatever
Will find it just a bit more impossible
To track me down.
My face covered with equal measures
Aloofness & N97 masks.
My implacable heart demands
An alchemy of sorts
Or atleast a reverse osmosis
Of this aquatic almond
In the centre of my chest,
To leak the leanings of my liquid heart
Unto the larger landscape
And hope love finds me
Before it is a bit too late.
I thank Kerry for her monthly word list. That really inspired me and I ended up incorporating all the words to make one poem.
At least a reverse osmosis of this aquatic almond ...

DeleteAn enjoyable poem. I think we're all feeling frustrations at this time.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Being cooped up isn't fun
DeleteVivid and almost fairy-tale at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I would like to think of it as the anti fairy tale
DeleteVery good and Had to laugh about this although I can see the frustration "Will find it just a bit more impossible To track me down."
ReplyDeleteLove the line "Or at least a reverse osmosis Of this aquatic almond"
haha mundane frustrations during the frightening pandemic!

DeleteIndeed masks can dampen the flames of desire! Clever use of the suggested words.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteAh, I think that this virus interferes big time with any knights' appearances anywhere -- masks or no masks, life under quarantine is not conducive to love! Sigh
ReplyDeleteHaha yes :( no scope for serendipity
Delete"To leak the leanings of my liquid heart,"... love this! Such incredible wordsmithing, Samyuktha!!💝
