Emotions,
Thoughts,
Words,
Poetry.

Salmabanu Hatim Dec 2024
I don't need your tears,
When I pass away,
I need your hugs and laughter,
Send me WhatsApp with love emoji,
Anecdotes of your day with friends spiced with humour.
A video call now and then.
That's what rocks my heart,
Gives it a steady rythmn,
A poultice for my soul.

Salmabanu Hatim Dec 2024
Was a colour.
It would be a hue of mosaic,
Tapered with a constellation of emotions.

Someone is lust,
Caring and respecting is value.

Salmabanu Hatim Nov 2024
deluge of tears when I am happy,
When I am sad,
My eyes remain dry,
Instead I crawl inside me,
Become jittery and anxious,
I tend to forget what I am supposed to do,
Or accidentally break things.

Salmabanu Hatim Nov 2024
It grieves me to see you in pain,
With all those tubes sticking out,
The roots of my womb tears me apart,
My heart bleeds.
I can come and take care of your home and family,
I can run errands for you,
I can be your caretaker,
I can sit beside you to recite the Quran and duas,
Beseeching Allah to heal you.
The doctors can ease your pain,
You scream for the pain to go away,
But love, pain is the only thing that you yourself has to endure,
Pain cannot be shared, bought or sold.
