Visit to outside

spilleronsheet

Year of indoors 

staying in a room 

watching the flat ceiling 

changing its colour 

visit to kitchen and bed 

that became a ritual

 

Days of aloofness 

now the world of mine 

questions when shall you take a peek 

mustering up courage 

one decides to venture out 

what if the germs attack 

the feet stop 

with beating heart inside 

 

alas 

one day 

the time is ripe 

they finally greet the morning starlight 

only to dismay 

the visit to doctor beside 

for a slight fever 

in a curiosity 

what it shall be 

which germ attacks oneself 

 

ahhhh

relief 

Its the changing season 

subsides back to bed 

glaring at the flat roof instead 

few days pass

as receding waves 

days of illness are back again 

now it’s a visit to a dentist instead 

dental affairs start 

with new experiments 

 

shall all the visits be a hospital instead?

    Cor blimey, you been reading my diary mate? This is the boring life i have been living for months due to my health situation. One hopes for better days ahead.

    • spilleronsheet

      Maybe I read yours
      Maybe I read others
      Maybe I read mine
      It’s a boring life
      But the sufferings are most painful and difficult to endure

    • Paul Bell

      Now is the time to get out and spread oneself on society. Or, as my doctor says, send me a picture of your health, and I'll set you free.

      • spilleronsheet

        So true Paul and doctor is really kind

      • orchidee

        You got your coat (and hat too maybe?). You getting out more, as they say?! heehee.
        I had to get my coat. I overstayed my welcome at a friend's. Well. I only wanted to show them my 10 albums of holiday pics! Doh!

        • spilleronsheet

          That’s great Orchi…that was a well spend vacation then?

          • orchidee

            Good for me, yes, but to them it was every mind-boring detail! lol. (I made all that bit up. heehee)

            • spilleronsheet

              Aigoooo
              I wonder how can it be boring in your company

              • orchidee

                But you guessed how - I'm boring when I get the photo albums out! lol.

                • spilleronsheet

                  Don’t know maybe when I visit your estates than I shall decide

                • L. B. Mek

                  lol, I'm sorry
                  I couldn't help but find humour in your wry cynicism, of our recent reality's
                  absurd hypocrisy
                  (if we don't laugh-away
                  our frustrations;
                  we cry, engulfed
                  by our infuriation)...
                  such a relatable write, thanks for sharing!
                  really liked these lines:
                  'alas
                  one day
                  the time is ripe
                  they finally greet the morning starlight
                  only to dismay
                  the visit to doctor beside
                  for a slight fever
                  in a curiosity
                  what it shall be
                  which germ attacks oneself

                  ahhhh
                  relief
                  Its the changing season
                  subsides back to bed
                  glaring at the flat roof instead
                  few days pass
                  as receding waves
                  days of illness are back again
                  now it’s a visit to a dentist instead'

                    Thank you so much Mek
                    You got me, in pain I can cry or I can laugh at the situation around
                    I have been crying for so long that my tears dried so now I recount and write
                    There are many who are suffering more yet they have started looking at the bright side
                    Then why shouldn’t I adjust my view of glasses….
                    Thank you so much dear Mek
                    I am rejoiced that you liked it
                    Much appreciated

                  • Vamsi Sudha

                    Let each tear drop of yours turn to wonderful poetry. Poetry is a an expression of Emotions when felt very deeply !! So keep writing, because everyone is not a poet !!

                    • spilleronsheet

                      That’s a very special comment dear Vamsi
                      Let every tear of mine ruin the sheets
                      Let every blood make a scene
                      With those tears in eyes and blood dripping from sides create a beautiful painting
                      For others to admire
                      For others to criticise
                      For others to rejoice
                      For closed ones to cry
                      Acknowledging the broken heart of mine

                      • Vamsi Sudha

                        Dear Spiller ,every line of yours there is poetry. You were selected by God for making this world beautiful with your poetry ...And poetry flows ONLY ONLY when there is extreme pain, extreme love !! So be happy that we are the selected lot !!! 🙂
                        So not to look back at closed doors of life, because there are so many doors ahead to be opened, waiting for you.. Life has so much to give, keep waiting for brighter rays of Life !!!

                        • spilleronsheet

                          I really hope so dear Vamsi
                          Life is no fun if it’s a straight route
                          Maybe that’s why we have detours so that we can find good company
                          And that’s how I met you
                          Now the journey will be more beautiful than destination
                          Thank you so much dear friend
                          We sure are a lucky Lot
                          The bleeding heart sings
                          Even while weeping
                          The heart shall sing of rejoice soon
                          After all how long will the autumn lasts
                          Spring will come soon

                        • Rozina

                          We have survived. Thank you for sharing your poem.

                          • spilleronsheet

                            Welcome dear Rozina
                            Much appreciated

                          • Goldfinch60

                            Such an emotive write spilleronsheet. To be trapped inside for so long is mindbending. I have always though on how fortunate I am in being able to go out every day into the wonder of Nature, (and croquet of course).
                            I hope all is well with you soon and the glory of the outside comes back.

                            Andy

                              I hope all becomes well for me soon

                              To coin a phrase, you have just writ the tooth the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth ............ or very nearly .... maybe ...................... am coming down with cabin fever methinks 🙂

                              • spilleronsheet

                                Omg
