Stand back(Lockdown Lovesong)
I am the poet writing songs of devotion
I am the poet rhyming words of emotion
To win your love that is the notion
Writing a ballad as big as the ocean
But as I write it, it becomes a polemic
A viral ambush, that became a pandemic
Romance cancelled, defeat systemic
Fight to saves lives its not academic
That must be why you say stand back to me
Social distance, 2 metres we should be
Wear a mask, cover your face you say
Keep your hands clean and wash it away
My words still continue, as I try to impress
I want to hug you, yes embrace you I confess
Holding your hand would still be a success,
But unseen Corona makes it all less
That must be why you say stand back to me
Social distance, 2 metres we should be
Wear a mask, cover your face you say
Keep your hands clean and wash it away
Educated and though I know how to write
Covert covid a new and invisible blight.
Keep all safe do not increase their plight
Shield the vulnerable from this fight
That must be why you say stand back to me
Social distance, 2 metres we should be
Wear a mask, cover your face you say
Keep your hands clean and wash it away
I want to kiss your lips and to make some romance
Under the same roof but no there is not a chance
We zoom but still can’t make an advance
Fingers entwined could only enhance
That must be why you say stand back to me
Social distance, 2 metres we should be
Wear a mask, cover your face you say
Keep your hands clean and wash it away
That must be why you say stand back to me
Until one day a new vaccine is ready
When normal lifes returned to stay
Lockdown release, love will have its day
