Not death,
What dies inside you while you are still alive.

My favourite hobby,
Kissing you
My favourite past time,
Hugging you
My favourite place,
In your heart

I could never ride a bike,
Cause I could never maintain my balance on it.
My dad told my mum never to tell me to make tea,
For I would spill the milk, put too much in tea or leave it on the stove till it dried.
I never learned to light a primus (kerosene stove),
For if I did my mum would tell me to heat food .
After marriage I learned to drive a car,
But I never drove one,
For my mind was so full of things that I would forget to switch off the engine,
My husband thought a driver was better for me.
Spring rolls are my favourite snacks,
But, I don't know how to fold them,
So I got an idea,
It's not  the shape that matters,
It's the taste that counts,
So I fill them in samoosa pastry ,
And have samoosa spring rolls.

Evergreen, wishful Mrs.Hatim,
Always desired to go to a gym,
Has arthritis in both knees,
And talks with a wheeze,
But, going to a gym is her dream.

When someone does not love you,
You need to let go and move on.
But not your children,
You need to hold on tightly,
Otherwise they may go astray.
And that will hurt deeply

My heart is taken,
My parents, my wife and my children,
So my darling do not be sad,
Like my heart my ATM is also precious,
I will share it with you.

they say he is weird
he is just a reflection
of his poetry.

waiting for my son
any second I will hug him
can't accept his death.

When you think of  only today after you wake up,
Feeling blessed for what you have,
And go to bed content,
We realize how much little we need,
And how very much we actually have.

I love looking at women,
Their beauty and their slim figures,
I can't have enough of them.
So I have decided to donate my eyes after I die.
12/10/2020

For me is like sharing your opinions about other people's lives and their choices.

At a Game Reserve:
Shooting of animals and birds allowed,
BUT,
"With a CAMERA not with a GUN"
11/10/2020

I was disturbed and afraid,
So I confided my deepest secret to my best friend.
Then, I remembered what my Guru said,
"Never tell your secrets to anyone, even to your best friends,
Who knows one day he may become your worst enemy".
What to do now?
I will make sure he does not become my enemy.

I see my grandchildren glued to their computers, mobiles and iPad and sigh,
I am grateful I had a lovely childhood spent mostly outdoors before technology became our masters.

After being conceived in my mother to be womb I cried and asked God,"When will I return to you again?"
"When you take your last breath,
son."
If you remember me in your prayers I will always be close to you.

With my grey hairs,
They are my HIGHLIGHTS of wisdom.
With my wrinkles,
They are my pimples of laughter.

i measure your love
by the thuds of your heartbeat
when I am with you.

Your children with other children or their own siblings,
Each shines in his own time,
Showing his own talents,
Like the sun and the moon

I find everything rosy and beautiful,
Faults, non-existent,
Am bubbling like 7Up,
I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE
7/10/2020

Our body is just a pizza base,
What is scintillating  are our cheesy thoughts and a variety of emotional toppings.
7/10/2020

Love is not a possession,
Give it wings to fly,
And it will always come back to you.

There is not a single person on Earth who has not sinned.
Try to tell someone you know his secret sins and see how he reacts.

the shards of his heart,
each piece reflects her image

Inhale in,
Exhale out,
A song in every breath,
Bridging you closer to peace and harmony.
A dance of every cell within you,
And creating a poetry of movements.

Is classy and elegant,
Black night sky makes the stars more beguiling and poetic,
Black is perfect harmony.

My heart has made a necklace with precious gems of love,
Waiting to be accepted by you.

A hard sneeze forces you to cross your legs tight,
And hope for the best.

In the temple of my heart I have put a framed photograph of you,
Everyday, when I wake up in the morning I see your face with your beautiful smile,
My whole world lights up,
You are my new beginning to another day.

her sweet subtle smile
tugged gently at my heart strings
my heart on fire.
3/10/2020

Do not underestimate the power of the bed,
It is mostly here where babies are conceived.
3/10/2020

Your final goodbye was the sharpest knife to pierce my heart.

I chose,
Honesty, self respect and humility,
I changed,
The magic started happening,.
Foremost mum felt appreciated,
I was closer to dad and my siblings,
I cemented a strong bond with my friends,
They did not need excuses not to include me in their plans.
Even the school janitor,
gardener and the bus driver had love and respect for me.
I was on the side of the world where it was day,
Where the sun shone brightly,
Darkness was a past.

glorious setting sun
the longest list of comments
over my poem.
2/10/2020

As an infant,
I wet my pants,
Cried often,
Did not like to be left alone.
At five and six I was a bag of tricks,
Just for kicks,
Smart at solving conflicts,
Able to come out of a fix.
In my youth,
A bit uncouth
With ease told untruth.
Then I changed wholesome,
Blossomed,
Sweet, charming and awesome.
At middle age I was being myself,
Still not on a shelf,
Memories filled with nostalgia,
Preferred to relax on a sofa.
Now, at an old age,
I am an Autumn foliage,
I too cry often,
I too do not like to be left alone

I
Myself
And me

I only want two things in this world,
You and your love.

We went on a blind date,
Found her dull and reclusive,
Still took her to a club,
After a few drinks a change came over her,
She grooved and threw caution to the air,
And she was a dynamite in bed,
What a date!!!

woman in man's clothing
meets man in woman's clothing
transgender I think.

Anger is in the blood that boils over as magma from the eyes,
And spews as venom from the tongue.
The mind ceases to think.

After you are conceived,
God decides in the womb your gender,
Writes the age you will live on this earth,
And settles the amount of provision you will have.

After you are conceived,
God decides your gender,
Writes the age you will live on this earth,
And settles the amount of provision you will have.

If you want to be remembered forever,
Borrow money from people and institutions  and DIE

Twinkle twinkle little star,
Why do you live so afar,
I need you to dance with me,
Over the hills and into the valley,
Twinkle and come from where you are.
28/9/2020

I want to KI__ __ YOU
Depends on you,
Two options.
Make me furious,
Or
Adore me
28/9/2020

I share my heart with my self,
my loved ones, family and friends,
But God holds the strings of my heart,
He is my guide and my saviour.
27/9/2020

My pain is my silhouette,
It follows me wherever I go,
It even intrudes in my joy and laughter.

After several dates,
The seed you sowed has found a mate.
27/9/2020

You are when you can take care of yourself and your stomach.
Must know how to cook and sew some.

When his son wedded a tall, lanky, ugly wife who complained  all day long,
The old man gave him several boxes of condoms,
"Use this son,"he said,
One is enough around the house.

a tiny forced smile,
a feeling of hollowness
going our own ways.
