An Anthology of Poems: March 2020

Fragile

All things on hold
but then life goes on.

Trying hard to progress

when we should be still instead.

Benchmarks we set

on our lives.

Measurements we impose

onto ourselves.

We feel less

if we don't move on.

life and living

made thus complicated.

Can't we just go slow

retrace for a while now.

Be calm, don't alam
life sure seems more.

Detachment

is a sure friend

a friend in need

a friend indeed

Be detached

not only to things

or your possession

is sure to possess

Be detached

from ideas and form

After all it alters

never to stay the same.

Don't put yourself in mold

or labels label you

learn and unlearn

Let go, never falter.

Nerves

I’m all nerves

Pondering over what

what is yet to be

I’m speculating

paying scenarios in my mind

I’ve lost control

Control over me.

This and that

Here and there

Things that could be

But I’m no fortune teller

And I know not any

any, who could be.

So I continue

Continue to wonder

This spell

Spell that I'm under

Is no good, no good for me.

It may go well

It may go bad

But I have no answer

My tongue could work magic

Or it could fail as I fear

but it's all my mind

haywire once again.

So I tell myself

if it comes, it comes

if it goes, it goes

and there's no way

no way to be sure

and no way to prepare

But for now, I pray

for an easier day.
