Don't be like your older brother,
We are social beings,
Be kind,
Be compassionate,
Hear our cries,
Let us out!
Give us wings to fly.

Being in a zoo is better than being in lockdown,
At least in a zoo you have visitors flocking to see you all day.

I wish to take care of
My body: smile more, drink more water and work out,
My mind: cleanse my mind and **** out all negatives,
Home:pay more attention to my home and earth we live in.

Remember these four things:
God is watching,
The angels are writing,
Death is inevitable,
You are only in transit here.

A path through which two beautiful souls unite,
Where there are no expectations,
Where you come to know each other as days go by.
The journey may be rough but exciting,
Everyday a new discovery,
Adjustments,
Falls and pits.
From strangers, lovers and friends,
Growing on each other,
Sprouting deep love,
Finally two souls bond forever.
An arranged marriage in time changes into a love marriage and ends with sharing of one denture and reading glasses with a toothless smile.

The guests cannot wait to reach the food table.

I don't know which of our conversations will be last,
Which of our meetings will be last,
Which of my Good Night will be last,
So before going to sleep I pray for you all,
And beseech your forgiveness if I have hurt you in any way.

Ugh!
Is it an emotion?
Hmmmm.....

My attitude was always negative,
I won't,
I can't,
I don't know,
Exasperated mother said,"At least be positive in something in your life.
I tested positive yesterday for Covid 19,
I was positive.

After ten years of courtship and friendship when my brother proposed to his girlfriend on my mum's birthday,
She was like a deer caught in

The setting Sun,
An empty beach,
Sand on my seat,
Waves kissing and tingling my feet,
With a drink of wild salty air.,
Nothing but happiness.
17/12/2020

My heart is a free love zone,
It is full of love and compassion for all,
But for you my darling,
Is my soul,
Reserved only for you.

mum's acting weird

I took care of my stomach,
For happiness comes when it is full,
Then it is all poetry and songs in your mind.
Not my teeth,
They did not die,
I killed them.
I took care of my tongue,
It's taste in mouth and heart,
Especially the sweet taste.
They said it was my sweet tooth to blame,
Not one, but several of them.
My Poor teeth,
I never saw the perils beneath,
I forgot to floss,
Or brush my teeth after every meal,
A visit to the dentist went unheeded,
Tooth decay; cavities came like parking tickets,
Suddenly,  out of nowhere.
I was not true to my teeth,
Now, they are false to me.

I am my own planet,
Moving in my own orbit,
Under the force of gravity of Faith and Belief of my Creator.

So try to take lessons from your past,
To make your future stronger and better.

The moment our eyes met,
The light of love spread into a spectrum of colours of a rainbow,
Uptill then my life was all black and white,
Now, her love has weaved a mosaic of colours in my life.

I visited the graveyard to pay my respect to mum,
One tombstone caught my attention,
On it was written :
My wife got tired of talking,
Now,my children and I
LIVE IN PEACE.
P.S. Miss her cooking.

Marriage is like a deck of cards,
It begins with two hearts and a diamond,
If you are lucky you live like a king and queen,
Otherwise it is a ***** and club.

After several years of marriage,
He had become a vacuum cleaner in her life,
******* all her happiness with his bullying and demands,
So she decided it was time to pull the plug.

I made a second copy of all my poems ,
Took them in a folder to the park,
There I clumsily let the folder fall,
My poems fell to the ground and the strong wind blew them here and there.
I looked around to see the destiny of my poems,
Some children collected them to make tiny boats to play in the pond,
Other children used them to make aeroplanes,
Some picnickers used them as wraps for their spoons and bowls,
One cleaner collected some and dumped them in the trash bins,
But, one young girl,
She picked one of my poems and read it,
Quickly she collected as many as she could and tucked them into her pockets,
This poem is awesome she muttered,
I will read the rest at home.
Poetry cannot die.

A house is built with money,
But, a home is built with love and people living closely in it.

They teach you to face realities and find happiness.

Take it,
Leave it,
Use it,
Throw it away,
Anyway I don't need it,
I have already learned from it,
Cause I have done the same stupid things over and over,

Sunrises,
Messy hair,
Messy bed,
Messy room,
Messy thoughts,
A hot cup of coffee,
Good music,
Hope for the best.

You drowning me in heartache and sorrow,
I learned how to swim in joy and love.

When you want to learn the art of blending colours study nature,
See the sunrise and sunset,
And its gorgeous colours strewn across the sky,
The seven colours of the rainbow and their arrangements,
The beauty and enhancement of the stars and moon with the background of the night sky,
Black gives depth to all colours.
Colours is the smile of nature,
Its luscious greenery,
And its colourful hues of flowers.
Colour is in emotions too,
Its power which influences the soul,
Besides who would prefer not living in colours.

I was out of place,

His soul was a reflection of mine,
Lost at sea,
Our hearts in chaos,
We sat there on the beach,
Each experiencing the weakness,
fatigue and anxiety in the other.
Then, our fingers touched,
Our eyes met,
And it was as if two souls collided,
At last found a home,
Love was in the air.

Is not just going to Masjid,
Praying five times a day,
Wearing a veil,
Or keeping a beard.
Islam is having Faith and Belief,
Living in peace,
Justice,
And equality,
Many skin colours but only one

He said that my smile was beautiful,
No, said a little child,
It is thoughtful,
It is homely,
I feel safe when she smiles,
I can tell her my fears and secrets,
Hold her hand all the while,
An angel I am happy to have met.

When you fall in love,
Dig a hole in a corner of your heart,
And bury all his flaws.
