OFF HAPPINESS 2020

              – Kiran Joshi

Frozen eyes, dejected hearts
Ceased walks, startled arches
Once liberated, restrained again
No bully master ,still refrained.
Neither H-bomb nor a weapon,
Alas! Still hard to confess…
What obstinate acts, stripped
2020 off happiness?

One step out, it grapples your breath
Two steps out,
your darlings are trapped
Few more steps and
your area is nabbed.
Corona rules out,
you behind the doors
Dull roofs, stodgy floors.
Alas! Yet hard to guess. ..
What hidden obscure mess…
Stripped 2020 ,off happiness?

Casting penumbra like witch’s tress
Assembly made curse, isolation a bless.
The aches here,
Refuse to pause
Misery, torment smeared claws.
Amphan painted Elegiac Black Sky
Locusts gave the funeral cry.
Half-year elapsed,
Half yet to pass
Absurd appear days, life mere farce.
Alas! Still hard to confess…
What obstinate acts, stripped
2020 off happiness?

You may know me, sometimes as a whole, sometimes just a line, like a poetry ,threaded word by word.

  11. Well, it’s true that 2020 seems to be “Off Happiness” but even then I’m happy for my friends because they got time to work on their talents….And it’s only because of 2020 . Thanks THE YEAR 2020.
