I am happy I gave away me exes to the less unfortunate,
Today it's just me and my long walks to my well stocked fridge.
Cheers mum and dad on video call,
I love you,
Happy Valentine.

The Angel of Death is busy,
The Angels are busy collecting souls,
There is chaos in afterlife.
Accountability has gone haywire,
Souls meant for heaven have ended up in hell,
And vice versa.
Plea from above,
Vaccinate as many as you can to curb deaths.

My eye faucet is mostly leaking,
It drips, flows or tumbles.
I cry at weddings,
I cry at funerals,
I cry watching T.V serials,
I cry  when my children cry,
When they don't listen to me,
I cry when my husband is annoyed,
I cry when when I see injustice,
So I cry in sorrow, pain,bliss and joy.
Crying lightens my heart,
I am not weak,
I am sensitive
13/2/2021

Instead of I or you
I prefer we
Togetherness,
Sharing is caring.

Got an urge to write poetry,
But,every word I tried to write on paper,
Both my thoughts and pen coaxed me to go to sleep,
So I snoozed on.

Female has male at the end (side)
She has he at the end (side)
Woman has man at the end (side).
So woman was made from the side of man,
To stand beside him,
To be held at his side,
Protected and loved.

As hope is a wish for dreams to come true,
Faith is a strong belief  they will come true.

Reading poetry is like taking a shower,
So that every word immerses into you like water,
And you emerge anew.

My sister is an onion,
She makes others cry.

Women gain,

A teaspoon of ***** contains five calories.

Empty your bowl of opinions and speculations,
Try and fill it with wisdom.

Are like someone directing a scene,
And suddenly shouts Cut.

Let there be light in their souls,
And seeds of lies never sprout in their  minds.

Apart from prayer times,
Mum would recite extra prayers,
Was always with a tasbih (prayer beads ) in her hand counting and doing duas.
Dad and us siblings would tease her and joke about her dedication,
She just smiled.
One day my elder brother asked her,"What do you get out of these prayers?
We are more successful, happier  and enjoying life to the full,
While you are always in prayers."
She smiled and said,"These are my rewards,
To have my family safe happy and never lack anything in life,
The tears I shed and the prayers I recite Allah answers  for you,
For my happiness is in yours,
And my rewards in your successes.

A new style dance step?

I let my son cry as and when he wished like any female,
I never told him girls cry only,
Or it is ***** to shed tears.
Now he and his wife are on equal terms,
When she cries to get her way,
He cries more to get his way.

In my life is between my thoughts and my silence.

What hair my boyfriend could not grow on his head,
He had plenty  on his face.
An awesome beard, muscles and a tattoo on his arm,
A man with a swag,

7/2/2021

After years of being apart,
Frequent pleas to see him,
Begging to hear his voice,
My son came at last!
When they were lowering my   coffin to the ground.
He was crying profusely and pleading for forgiveness,
I saw it all as my soul hovered over my grave,
I forgave,
For him it was too late to hear.
6/2/2021

Get up in the morning,
Feeling fresh and quirky.
Time for senior exercise,
I move my arms,
Crrrrraaaaaacccccckkkkk,
I lift my knees
Crrrrraaaaaacccccckkkkk,
I turn my neck right,
Crrrrrraaaaaacccccckkkkk,
I turn my neck left,
Crrrrrraaaaaacccccckkkkk.
I am just crunchy, crispy on top and spicy from inside.

Teaches you a lot in life,
A hungry  stomach,
Empty pockets and
A broken heart.

In this ruined world,
People are tired,
Above all they crave for joy.
So don't serve them your pain,complaints and tears.
Unshackle your soul,
Unchain your grudges and disparity,
And relish in the awesome experiences  life has to offer.

Be a discoverer,
Seek first what is inside you,
And thou shall find abundance of treasure.

When you sometimes go shopping,
The shopkeeper by mistake under Bill's you,
Or gives out few items extra,
And you feel this is your lucky day,
But remember, God is testing your honesty.

Prescribed by Allah,
To be taken five times a day,
SALAH

Don't marry a man who will die for you,
Marry a man who lives for you and can't live in peace without you.

Four things are written in your destiny:
Your spouse
Your children
Yourwealth and
Death how and when.

I met you,
Your coming in my life was a miracle,
And faith guided me towards you
through darkness.
Because of my faith I took the first steps towards you without noticing the whole staircase,
Now I choose the handle of Faith to open the door of my heart  for you,
For I know you are the one meant for me.

Stop working for money,

A veil with a unique touch,
A dressing that sets you apart,
Not a hijab, niqab or burqa that requires face covering.
Rida is a two piece covering,
Worn only by Bohora women,
A fashion created to interpret identity.
It is in exotic or subtle colours,
Exquisitely embroidered or painted ,
Embossing the dynamite art work of nature and flora on fabric.
A rida has a pleated long skirt like a Ghagra,
Paired with a tunic that looks like a poncho called a pardi
A tea cosy walking on a road
Bohoras are a sect of shias,
And rida identifies us as a community  from other Muslim enclaves,
It reflects our culture,
And speaks about our lifestyle.
I wear a rida,
It liberates me to know who I am,
As perceived Dress how you
want to be addressed

Death does not discriminate,
Whether black, white, Brown or yellow,
All are equal,
Time up and POP

Allah gave me a gift of life,
Me, a pretty flower on a single stalk with a few thorns.
I bloomed when an enchanting, beloved butterfly danced upon me clicking endearing  love songs,
Together we churned the sweetest love honey.
29/1/2021

On this earth is to love and forgive everyone,
And leave it to God to do the rest.

My son has become a priest,
Should I call him son or
father
27/1/2021

He sat there solemnly,
With a piece of paper and his lucky pen,
Burning candles till dawn
Not a word yet in his mind,
The paper blank.
He opened his window to let in the fresh morning breeze,
He saw the sun rise slowly,
The sky blissful and blushing,
The birds chirping in their nests,
The butterflies fluttering around the morning dew petals,
Blossoming to the morning glory.
His thudding heart bloomed too,
Handcuffs unlocked,
Brimming with an ocean of emotions,
Filling the mind with lyrical words and thoughts,
And out poured from his soul the most beautiful poetry.
27/1/2021

on Valentine's Day
blushing, old hubby presents wife
with a pretty nighty.
26/1/2021

As I stepped out of the front door to meet my fiance,
The cheeky full moon followed me,
Hiding behind clouds,
Blushing sweetly.
It lighted my senses,
Magic touched my soul,
The sky blissful.
My fiance and I agreed to have a romantic dinner under the enticing  moonlight,
Feeling love for each other over and over.
26/1/2021

One piece is missing in my love life
You

Apart from yourself don't trust anyone completely,
Cause even shadows desert us in darkness.

At three to four months,
Never try for an abortion,
The foetus is now a human being,
It has a SOUL

My worst regret in life,
Which still hurts the most,
Is sending my children for further studies abroad.
They NEVER  came back,
Got married and settled there,
Leaving me bereft of their closeness,
And joy of grandchildren.
24/1/2021

Life is an adventurous journey,
Time is limited,
Use it wisely along the way,
Death is the end of your road,
Destination reached.
