Mesmerised
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2021
I lay down under the blue sky,
The fluffy clouds changed shapes and told me a story,
Mesmerised I dozed off to sleep.
When I woke up the stars were twinkling,
The moon was glowing,
Both romanced with me and sang love songs,
Sad and soulful,
Tears filled my eyes,
So they sang lullabies,
Again I fell asleep.
The sun woke me up with a sweet smile.

Humanity
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2021
If you want to see humanity,
Go for Arbaeen at Kerbala in Iraq,

With only 72 followers,
Still pulls the world to him with his one sacrifice.
Hussein inspires,
And I respire,
To Die like him

Dadima
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2021
My granny is sweet and kind,
Sometimes funny,
Set in her ways,
Very religious,
Always praying for our health wealth and safety,
An excellent cook,
And a great help to mum.
And all these years we have adjusted to her because of dad's philosophies.
Like she drinks tea in a saucer and slurps,
It's pretty annoying,
But dad says ,"Get used to the sound".
Or she forgets to close the toilet door,
Mix our tooth brushes,
Blames us for her misplaced glasses,
Dad says," You can't teach an old person new tricks".
She is so set in some of her ways that she refuses to budge,
Dad told us to treat granny like the centre table,
We will have to move around it,
It won't move around us.
We are one big happy family.
