I had someone to say,"It's okay I am here for you,
Someone to cover me with the blanket that deserted me in the middle of the night,
Someone to remove my glasses and book that I was reading when I fell asleep.

Somebody asked what to do
after seventy?
Not do what you were doing before.
Less stress,
Anger,
Ego.......
Your tickets have come,
You may be called any time,
Prepare for your journey,
Carry light,
Only good deeds

He proposed first with two roses,
He gave first rose with a note,
I Love you and will do so for the rest of my life,
He gave a second rose,
To my best friend.
Then he knelt down with a diamond ring,
*Will you marry me

Is to give me a chance to correct what I had said,
Or..........

Two red petals of a rose,
Moist with dew,
Trembling as my eyes gazed at them,
And when my lips touched them,
I felt their fragile softness and sweetness as if dipped in honey.

From strangers,
To acquaintance,
To best friends,
To lovers,
A little misunderstanding,
Now sworn enemies.

Dad and I had lots of differences,
From the day I became a teenager,
He expected me to lead a life according to his thinking,
Most days we had heated arguments,
I ended up spending the night with friends.
Amidst one of our fights I saw tears swell in mum's gentle eyes,
She was sandwiched between father and son,
She loved us both equally.
To maintain peace I steered away from dad as much as possible,
Kept quiet when he had a point to make and listened,
But did not heed to all his ways.
At last we had peace,
Mum was happy,
I was glad my sacrifice had given mum space to breathe.

I woke up with a start,
Neither my sleep was completed,
Nor my dreams were realized.
Time said only if had some patience,
Patience said only if I had some time.

on a rainy day
gave away my umbrella
to an old beggar.

Monetarily I am okay,
Physically I am defeated
Mentally I am doing my best.

If you are disappointed in something I have done,
Remember I don't how to cajole you or pamper you
Also know I can't LIVE without you.

We are the sun and moon,
Parents of earthlings,
Moon is the mother,
Glowing with love for her earthlings,
She borrows light from me so that her children are not in the dark,
Lullabies her tiny tots to sleep,
Provides romantic ambience to lovers,
She gives day and night,
Tides to ebb and flow,
And keep their home the earth balanced on its axis,
At sunrise she begs me to look after them properly,
Motherly Love
As a father I sustain them,
I give them light, heat and energy,
So they are not cold,
They have food on their table,
And oxygen to breathe.
I cause seasons for them to enjoy.
But our children are as stubborn as a mule,
Egoistic and inconsiderate,
With no compassion for their parents,
They have created Satans,
Money and weapons of mass destruction,
Trying to outdo one another,
And destroy what we have lovingly given them,
By playing this super game called
POLITICS

It costs less than electricity,
But it lights millions of hearts.

To trust Allah in your darkest moments isFaith
That is when miracles happen

We are the flow of the same river,
Cascading down the rocky mountain as a waterfall,
With its melodious song of love,
Echoing deep within our soul as oneness.

When she said the three lyrical words I Love You
They sank deep into my heart,
And their echoes were heard in the universe.

no one understands
knitting is my happy place
some kind of yoga.

A school boy took some money from the collection in the House Of God,
He left a piece of paper in the collection box.
All my friends have a mobile,
I too want one,
My parents cannot afford one for me,
I come to your House and beseech you to get one for me,
It seems you are very busy,
So I have borrowed some money from the collection,
Please note I have not taken or stolen  the money,
Consider it a loan,
I will pay you back as soon as I start earning,
YOU don't charge interest and there is no exchange rate in your House,
So you will get the same amount I have borrowed.
Bless me God.

Visualize a goal post,
Lead your life towards it,
Don't hold on to people or things
on your way.

It's wonderful to have a women's night out once in a while,
Girly talk and togetherness acts as a therapy.

Our body is our garment,
Our SOUL is eternal,
Placed by Allah whence in our mother's womb,
And returned to him by the Angels on the deathbed for Hereafter.

Love
Happiness,
Peace,
Contentment,
Gratitude
Are not enough for a complete satisfied life,
You need a bit of negative feelings too to motivate you.
Anger,
Jealousy,
Envy,
Sadness,
Negative feelings in small amounts tend to be useful.
It can protect you from harm,
Boost you to be successful,
Argue persuasively for what is yours,
And push you to come out of your comfort zone.

My simple ordinary life became a beautiful fairy tale after I met you.
23/5/2021

My love invited me for dinner,
The table was set romantically,
Candle lit with red roses in a vase,
Wine and barbecue chicken and chips,
She broke my heart just as I broke a chicken piece,
Said it was over,

22/5/2021

Fear made me stay in my comfort zone,
It was like a prison,
Shackled with doubts,
Unable to move out.
I realised if I want to be alive,
I have to learn to fly,
My wings of courage and confidence I must spread,
I don't need to be afraid.
Action speaks volumes,
Here I come fear me and you.

I would not love or trust a human,
Inspite of giving him
means to live,
Food, rain and oxygen,
He cuts me down to make his paper, furniture and charcoal,
Then he complains about climate change.

a pen in hand
waiting for inspiration
Poet's dilemma.

sowing seeds of love
putting smiles on sad faces
caring gardeners.

the beat of my heart
gift of life and gift of love
Only searches you.

I don't have time for anything or anybody,
Cause
When I am sleeping I only dream of you,
And when I' m awake I only think of you.

sun kissed morning
newspaper boy on his bike
whistles a long sigh.

shying behind clouds
the moon watched with bated breath
our first fiery kiss.

March early morning
farmer's boots full of brown slush
Nature awakens.

Overwhelming drops of salty tears means there is somebody who deeply cares for you,
Missed voice calls and messages on your mobile means there is somebody who remembers you and misses you,
When Allah does not answer your prayers it means it is not meant for you.

they never knock twice.

my poem speaks of sadness
yet my torn heart smiles

Don't expect pineapple juice from Apples,
So accept and deal with people as they are.

I loved you yesterday,
I Love you today,
I will also love you tomorrow,
I loved you as my girlfriend,
I loved you as my fiancee,
I Love you now as my adorable wife.
You always have my heart,
From the start.

She was simple,
She dressed simply,
With a simple hairdo.
She had an aura of beauty in her simplicity.

If you love someone,
Before it is too late.

Ride on the waves,
Like ancient sailors and braves,
Go with the flow,
Fast and slow.
Enjoy a journey you have never been,
To places you have never seen.
And at every port seek true love,
Guided by cupid's arrow.

You are the luckiest if your mother-in-law is on your side,
For behind every successful man is his wife and mother-in-law beside her.

Is unselfishness,
Where her children are the centre of her universe.
