A quarter of a year gone by,
since the lock down
Now, stay home bound
is the new normal,
I see no signs of any change soon,
work from home the latest mantra.
Parties, movies and holidays
seem things of yore
eating out, no more…
My dresses, jewelry idling
in the closet,
without an occasion to flaunt them.
The shoes and sandals thoroughly bored,
let out a yawn
under a cozy blanket of dust
cosmetics and accessories, untouched
lie on the dresser, losing sheen
nearing their expiry date.
I observe them from afar,
wondering ,
will they ever see
the light of the day?
These days my
pyjamas and tees are over worked
my hair seems always messed up,
office, chores, cooking and cleaning
consume me all day long.
The mirror screamed today
when I tried to look into it,
Oh no! who is that staring at me?
Where have I lost myself?
I wondered!!
