to seek is a bliss,
Desire is erased.

coyly in a soft voice,
Almost a whisper,
He leaned close to her to listen.
She smiled broadly excited,
He likes me!
Little did she know that he had hearing problem.

Or datun as referred to in India,
As a child we never had a toothbrush
or toothpaste at home,
The upper class used them.
Abba used to buy a bundle of gum tree or neem tree toothbrush sticks from the market,
We used to dip the stick in charcoal powder that came in bottles called manjan  and brush our teeth,
The taste of twig and coal powder was refreshing
Abba would tell us to chew ******* the twig,
We had less of tooth decay and gum diseases,
Teeth whiter and strong enamel
Herbal is best,
Antifungal and anti bacterial.
I miss my miswak.

She is a unique piece,
My sunshine,
And like the sunflower,
In any situations I turn towards her,
All my troubles fall behind me,
She is my silent silhouette,
Who never judges.

Is like dancing in the rain
Letting go of a string of feelings,
Swinging on a rainbow of thoughts,
A soft whisper,
A cry of joy,
A beat of the heart.
And just as first rain drops kiss the earth,
The petrichor of words,
Hits the senses,
To pen beautiful poetry.

He got a new young wife,
And with her two new children,
Buy one get two free.
Mum is mentally strong,
She didn't break down,
She opened a catering business from home.
We don't miss dad,
Mum has so much love and her time to give,
Like the gentle rays of sunshine,
That engulfs us in its warmth
Giving us new hope and encouragement each day
And that's enough for us.

Give it free,
Without accountability.
