I am lonely,
I switch on the T.V.,
Radio,
Or open a book to read.

Is my kindness,
And my compassion and humility are my religion.

Spoken is not a secret anymore,
It should be covered in silence.

Is one action,
One breath,
One moment.

Were my everthing,
Now he has become my poems.

And my laughter lightens the burden and mood of myself.

My friend's story.
He was dark and not so handsome,
Never had he so much tension as that day.
As he was going to play tennis a very beautiful girl asked him for a lift,
He got tension,
Such a gorgeous girl asking him for a lift.
Not had they gone some distance the girl felt nauseated and fainted,
Tension,
He quickly took her to a hospital,
The doctor checked her and smiled,
"Congratulations you are going to be a father",
Tension,
He denied he was not the father,
She insisted he was,
Tension,
After undergoing several tests
they found he could never be a father ,
Tension,tension, tension,
Then who was the father of those two kids at his home,
Who called him dad.

Neither agrees to his weakness,
Nor listens to the advice of the wise.

flowers brag all day
we bring colour to nature
butterflies spread wings.

When a man walks out on you,
Shut the door,
Eat a tub of icecream,
And continue with your life.

My man took me to a library,
He asked me to choose any book I loved,
I looked lovingly into his eyes,
Flickered my eyelashes,
And softly replied,"CHEQUE BOOK."

Burden you carry is your past.

I have been given 38106000 minutes in life,
I don't think I have done anything with it,
Like being patriotic, a saint or famous,
Not to be remembered in any history books,
Except a sweet or sad memory for my family and friends.
22/5/2024

Provoked me to love him.
21/5/2024

Wholly on your senses,
They have a tendency to deceive.
21/5/2024

Is just a curtain,
More evil is done behind it.
21/5/2024

Was despite a stressful day at work,
My children came running to me with joy laughing and crying,
Scrambling on my lap,
Hugging and kissing me,
My heart throbbed with getting so much love.
Now they have a life of their own,
They come when they want me to baby sit for them,
Or help  them with their monetary problems.
I am happy,
At least I get to bond with my grandchildren.
19/5/2024

Can be bitter,
But it liberates.
18/5/2024

Forgive,
Forget,
But some wounds leave a scar,
And at a slightest hurt can open and bleed.
17/5/2024

Be a slave of your anger,
Be the master.

Does not understand,
What he is being taught,
He finds pleasure in distracting himself and others.
15/5/2024

In high school before exams,
We all profusely prayed to Allah to make us pass with excellent grades
But my friend prayed for a Mercedes a craze then.
We all passed with good grades,
My friend did not get his Mercedes,
He passed with distinction,
Went to Unversity,
Became a CEO of a big company,
Now he is an industrialist with a fleet of cars,
Latest models and even two Mercedes,
And I a happy house wife,
With several children,
That's Allah's way.

Keep on flowing,
If you stop them,
They die.
13/5/2024

From work,
Give your children,
Your time and attention,
Not your mobile.

the moon smiles at me
somewhat covered by dark clouds
mesmerises me.
11/5/2024

lonely haunted house
spiders' webs everywhere
guardians of the ghosts.
11/5/2024

Is your true friend,
If he stands by you in your need,
And your family,
After your death.
10/5/2024

Strives to be something in life,
Because we are afraid to end up as being nobody.
10/5/2024

I live simply,
Living simply is not being poor,
It's being authentic,
True to yourself,
Writing your own scripts.
I dress simply,
But my clothes are cut well and fitted well,
That shows grace and elegance.
Though  I am not pretty,
I carry a childlike smile and humility.
Sometimes people think I am nobody,
And want me to be like everybody,
They can sometimes be rude,
But I am content,
With what I am and what I have.
8/5/2024

Be good at heart,
Then at appearance.
Strangers will look at appearance,
Closed ones will look at the heart,
But strangers too will become colleagues or dear ones.

over ripe mangoes
fallen lying on the ground
my master's regrets.

Blessed with wealth,
Convert it to good deeds,
Only that you can take to afterlife.

above seventy
how much more of it remains
count it as bonus.
2/5/2024.

When I was a child,
We never had a fridge or a cooler,
Mother would pour tap water in a large clay *** with a tap,
The *** was covered with a plate and a steel glass was placed on it,
The water kept in the clay *** was cool and refreshing,
We all shared the same glass.
Mum would also cook on a sigri( clay coal stove) using clay pots,
Even chapattis were made on a clay pan,
Mind you the food cooked in clay utensils were far tastier,
Especially dishes made from coconut milk,
Like fish, chicken and rice.
Ahhh! Those were the days,
I can still feel the taste of mum's food cooked in clay pots.

Out from jail,
Saw three ladies in a veil,
Which one is mine,
I could not define.
Black is not my wife's colour,
Nor worn in our culture,
White is for a widow,
I know this so,
Perhaps the one in blue
Before I could say hello you,
She ran and hugged another one,
He was her son.
Then I saw a bit afar,
Wifey coming out of our car.
Though covered in a colourful embroidered veil,
I knew it was her without fail.

my heart loves you much
mind refuses to like you
dilemma for me.

Of the manipulator,
He will blame you for everything,
And make himself a victim.
26/4/2024

You marry into a family,
One thing you must learn is to tolerate,
That earns you respect.
26/4/2024

We can't change people who they are,
But we can accept them as they are,
By being loving,kind and patient.

Your insulter with your silence,
For he is waiting for you to react.
24/4/2024

In your reality is your ego,
Bury it,
Experience eternal bliss

Is maskless,
That sees good in everyone.

Rice once cooked cannot become raw,
Words once spoken cannot be taken back.

my tiny kittens
love tucking into my shoes
warm with fishy smell.

when my son visits
house fills with friends and cousins
then again alone.

Have a tendency
To touch your sore spot.
