With our love we can beat Covid-19
Sun glows in blue sky,
Gold ripples dance on the sea –
Time to set the sail.

Young tourist poses,
Older man sips lemonade,
Generation gap.

Humble hatched roof hut,
Lies behind tourist hotel,
Fisherman’s sweet home.

Sun sets at seaside,
Colorful streaks brush the sky,
Footprints in wet sand.

Sleek evening ripples,
The sun embraces, lying down –
Romantic season!

Pretty yellow rose,
Sunbathing in the courtyard,
Intruder fly bites!

Exquisite pink rose,
Flaunts her fresh,youthful beauty,
In the spring of life.

In the morning rain,
Bruised dust-pink rose shivers,
On a bed of thorns.

Frail rose bud petals,
Burn in blaze of dry season ,
Thirsting for rain drops.

Lush garden roses,
Half-blossom bends to her weight ,
Till the last fold falls!

Just before night falls,
She closes her sleek petals-
Beauty for one day!

Beautiful flower,
Devoid of sweet redolence-
Queen of the alleys!

Bees come for honey,
Flowers let down their petals,
On velvety leaves.

The fields speak to me,
Of the fragrance of flowers,
Busy honey bees.

Old water lily,
Shedding petals on the leaves,
Season comes and goes.

Morning has broken
Birds repeat their melodies
Time goes on and on

Sun high in the sky
Where am I going to hide
The worm asks the book

Sun landing safely
On a velvety carpet
Merging with the sea

The Socks
In coils like two cotton balls
Coated with dust
From under my bed
A brush stroke brought out the socks!
Forgotten
Abandoned
Consciously or unconsciously
The socks you left behind
Sad, blue
Filled with bitterness
The stare blank
The socks
I caught in my trembling hands
Gave me a lump in my throat
The socks recalled your being there
Curled against me in my bed
It was not a dream!
The socks made me a little scared
Fear the idea that you will never come back
To warm my bed
To cover me with delicious cuddles
The socks made me chuckle too
Giggle at the idea that I had never seen such large feet
Such big toes, teasingly tickling my feet
The socks revived in me the great happiness
These senseless moments
When we both laughed like kids
Happy to be together
Pleased that we had met
Pleased that we were in love!

Frightening world news
Covid19 symptoms rise
Milk coffee in cup

Listen to the lament of the forlorn sea,
She is calling your name!
Listen to the rhythm of her beating waves,
She is calling your name!
Listen to the sea,
Listen to her beseeching vow,
She is missing you!
She misses your body,
Floating frivolously like seaweed,
Dancing and curving her waves,
She misses your smell,
Deliciously and fondly fading with hers,
She wants to tenderly hold you,
And, never let you go,
Engulf you in the nudity of her waves,
Deep into the profundity of her bewitching charm,
Rocking you once again in her arms
Anita Bacha
