Hide and Seek
Salmabanu Hatim Dec 2020
The moon and I love to play hide and seek,
While I count one to ten,
She hides behind the clouds,
Sometimes the clouds are playful too,
They float away fast,
And I find her.

In Marriage (2)
Salmabanu Hatim Nov 2020
You are the roof,
That provides shelter,
But your wife is the foundation that holds the home,
The roof can be blown away but you can still live in it,
If the foundation crumbles,
The whole house goes down.

Marriage
Salmabanu Hatim Nov 2020
The wedding bells tolled,
The marriage vows said,
I kissed the bride,
Spent the most romantic honeymoon in the Bahamas,
Marriage; what a bliss!
Honeymoon over,
Dreams shattered,
Reality sets in,
Freedom flew out of the window.
Found me in the kitchen helping with the dishes,
Doing the laundry,
Cleaning Windows,
Mowing the lawn.......

Hymns
Salmabanu Hatim Nov 2020
Shared poetry too can be hymns,
Sometimes with rhymes,
All I have needed
Lord Thy hands have provided
And some spicy metaphors,
Oh! My Creator
You are the Potter
I am the clay
Mould me and make me in your way
A tinge of alliterations,
And personification,
Morning's by morning's your many mercies smile on me
Blessed I am by thee
