The lonely lane

spilleronsheet

On the streets 

Where the car screech

passes a lane 

where a lady stands 

under the vast sky 

lost in thoughts of unknown 

looking in dismay to the grey sky 

no soul meets the eye 

though the shops filled by screen 

Upon which kids used to lean 

show the savouries 

but no stories 

the lady watches the lane 

a few pass in the rain 

coughing and sneezing 



as they near by 

she realises the runny nose beside 

In seconds she leaps

outside her story of displease 

look the cold is enough 

but who would be rough 

grieving a moment ago 

how could sneeze bring her out 

out of memory lane 

 

 

a moment ago she was teary 

but that runny nose 

brought her in store 

a medical store 

buying the medicines 

a pack of sanitiser

a box of masks

and checked her score

she prayed in mind

hope they are vaccinated by

 

 

a sneeze can have huge power to say so

those teary eyes

who saw no one close by

suddenly realised

she wasn’t walking alone anymore

 

 

have faith in almighty

your not alone

look around

germs are knocking on the door …

    • woundedheart

      We are all so sanitised that we've made ourselves targets for new germs, this is a lovely poem and a little sad as so true. ☺

      • spilleronsheet

        I know it’s sad
        I know this pandemic makes us mad
        But I hope since it’s so bad
        Then let’s make our way out with a smile
        Glad you liked it dear woundedheart

        'no soul meets the eye'

        'how could sneeze bring her out

        out of memory lane'

        "she wasn’t walking alone anymore"

        It was humorous may be....but got stuck to these lines....
        'no soul meets the eye'.... it is so true in today's world my friend...

          Actually it was a dark comedy
          Maybe a satire that I tried

        • Neville


          a serious message wrapped up in a laugh .. exceptionally of the moment spiller .. in fact, quite brilliant ... N

          • spilleronsheet

            Thanks a lot dear Neville
            Glad you liked it
            I guess it’s my first take of dark humour
            Just experimenting

            A sneeze, a cough, suddenly you're alone. The 'new world'. Sad but true.

            • spilleronsheet

              A sneeze and cold makes you alone
              A sneeze and cough brings you out of alone
              What a world
              So true dear Rozina
