Crown Shaped Virus

Oh! beloved how scared i was, 
the risk of losing you to invisible enemy, 
a creature with no anima and heart.
An unknown, undefeatable enemy, pounding on you when you had no armour, no vicious sword. 
Trying to reach you, almost desperate, no hope to light my heart, 
You alone in the hospital bed, while i was sobbing miles apart. 
No flying carpet, no fairy tale magic, a real world morbid with death and loss. 
But oh my sweet how hard you fought, 
indeed a lioness at heart! 
Me, caged inside four cold walls, hands with sanetizer, face with masks, 
incomplete without symphony of your laugh. 

In extreme agony, this is how my few days passed. 

Streets again lively, grandma with her dog, gardens filled with restrained joy, eyes shadowed with unexpected loss. 
With grim determination, i paved my path, holding the fragile festoon of faith. 
Finally, the painful journey ended, my destination before my eyes, stained windows shading you, door opened you came running, into my arms. 
Sunken cheeks, hollowed eyes, Oh love how beautiful you were to my parched eyes!
