I found a diamond in you,
Most precious and rare,
A sweetest rose that blooms happiness,
A single candle that lights up my life for an entire lifetime.
Thank you for the laughter and smiles,
And a wonderful gift of yourself.

When she bloomed,
I found my voice,
Such was the power of her beauty,
Her smile restored my soul.

He was the one who inspired me,
He had ears that would listen,
A nose that could smell something was bothering you,
Silver hair full of wisdom,
Strong arms to help you hold on to things,
And most of all a rich heart,
A heart that was filled to the brim with love for his family.
Grandpa always said he was blessed to have us,
But in fact we were blessed we had such a wonderful grandfather,
Ever day with him was like a picnic.
Rest In Peace Grandfather,
We truly miss you.

When dreams are broken,
Hearts are shattered.

Some love,
Some hate,
Both are kindred spirits,
With both emotions are wasted,
Sleepless nights,
Lucky for some,
Unlucky for others.

Let scented,heavenly flowers bloom in the path of your life,
Let a smile always twinkle in your eyes,
Let every step you take in life be filled with happiness,
My heart never stops from praying for you to have everything you deserve in life,
Stay healthy, wealthy and at peace.
Amen

A Festival of the Sacrifice,
Commemorates the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ismail,
As an act of Faith and obedience to God,
When Abraham was about to sacrifice Ismail,
God sent a lamb instead.
Neither the flesh nor the blood of your Sacrifice reaches God,
But it is the strength of your faith and beliefs that reaches Him,
HE in turn on this day forgives your sins.
A happy and prosperous Eid ul Adha.

Before Covid19 when I farted,
I covered it up with coughs and sneezes,
Now, when I sneeze,
I **** loudly,
No sneeze, No Covid 19.
26/7/2020

I was remembering you and the happy, sad and tough times we spent together,
All the lovely and funny things we did together,
Tears welled in my eyes,
When God told me you were remembering me too.
It was the happiest day of my life.
26/7/2020

My heart eyes and lips
planets orbiting your soul
a season of love.

chilly frosty night
your body entwined with mine
for warmth or desire.

When she was my girlfriend I bragged and she listened meekly,
Then she became my fiancee,
She chattered and I listened quietly,
When we got married we both shouted and the whole neighbourhood listened.

My poem is written and sent,
For you to digest,
My words land on your hands and lips,
Some grip your hearts,
Others forgotten,
Trodden, not a single glance,
But, I continue to write,
For I am a poet.
23/7/2020

some tears in my eyes
saw him flirt with other girls
was i not enough.

a haiku a day
keeps all your sadness away
enjoy writing it.

Both are the same,
Air is a mixture of gases,
Love is a mixture of emotions.
You cannot see air but you can feel it,
Ditto love.
Air has weight and occupies space,
Love too has weight and occupies a special space in our heart.
22/7/2020

In a loving mood,
You tossed the kites to fly,
High, high in the sky,
Make the children laugh,
In happiness huff and puff.
I saw you wind being naughty,
Give a lesson to the lady who acted haughty,
Blew her dress over her waist,
While she tried to hold onto it in haste,
Her umbrella and parcels strewn
ever where,
Wind, that was not fair.
I saw you wind of love,
Blowing through the lady's long silky hair,
A serene waterfall,
Caressing her soft skin,
Making her heart dance like a rose.
I saw you wind blowing hard,
In the path of a fragile flower,
Swaying and trembling,
To be swept away by you.
Then you howled and roared,
Debris scattered everywhere,
Trees uprooted,
Houses roofless,
Soon you calmed and  went your way,
Leaving a sea of chaos behind.
Wind I saw you again in vexation,
Toss and turn a lone boat in the rough sea,
The helmsman as stubborn as the huge waves,
A match to your wrath.
Oh! Wind, wind you are unpredictable ,
With your moods and not knowing when your gust will come our way,
And change everything.

sea breeze whispered in my ears,
I wouldn't let him go.

A Never Neverland goal post where your dreams, motivations and promises are aimed.
Do what you have to do today
Never wait for tomorrow,
Who knows Destiny has written tomorrow for you.

Men carry handkerchiefs in their pockets to give to a woman to wipe away her tears,
Gentleman chivalry.

When his eyes met mine,
It was a timeless beginning of everything,
My heart stopped beating for a second,
I couldn't breathe,
I was drowning.
18/7/2020

A wish of some,
To die, what come.
Depressed,
Stressed,
Don't worry,
What's the hurry,
Don't they say,
Rest In Peace if you may.
Death is a continuance of life,
To a better place with no strife.
At last gone the sufferings,
Silence the moanings,
An empty bed,
Eulogy read,
From dust to dust,
For death is a must.

Life Salutes you if you make others happy.

I stole happiness from heaven,
To heal the bleeding wounds in your heart.

That's what mum taught me,
I was more than a handful,
Tired, she told me,
One day you are going to grow up and have kids of your own,
I hope they all turn out like you.
15/7/2020

you bring barbecue
i'll bring chips; we can romance
in-between eating.
14/7/2020

You and I,
Under the moon,
Bright and glowing,
Happy for us.
I could not see the stars,
For you held them in your eyes.
Silence,
Except for the racing of my heartbeats,
Then you smiled,
As if a rose had just blossomed,
The moon danced in and out of the clouds.
I held out my arms for a dance,
You came into them,
I knew I had found my life,
You.

Let me be a Red Rose flower in the vase of your heart.

Like the earth needs the sun for light and heat energy,
I need you my love to kindle my life with happiness,
And sustain it with your warmth.

My heart is weather,
It tells the day to day conditions of my feelings.

My friend got married last year before Covid 19,
Sweet and in  her teen,
Her husband wanted her to wear a veil,
The veil makes me feel like in jail,
She would wail,
She refused to do so,
Without a veil everywhere she would go.
Then came the corona virus,
Pandemic chaos,
Sanitizer  and mask a must,
To protect from droplets and dust.
The groom was delighted,
A veil and a mask in his hand he weighted,
Told his wife to choose one,
Something to cover your face is better than none,
My beauty,
My sweetie.
11/7/2020

You remember how we met,
The train stopped,
Our eyes met,
You said,"Hello!"
Your beautiful grey eyes stole away my words,
You became an ocean full feeling in that one single look.

Quoting that love increases if one eats from the same plate and drinks from the same glass,
He finished off my whole plate of barbequed chicken and chips with salad,
And drank my large glass of ice cold Coca-Cola .

Nobody heard my silent screams,
"Help! Help!"
Nobody saw behind my sweet smile,
A world of pain.
They thought I was lazy
because I slept a lot,
But, sleep gave me relief from sadness and anger.
When I complained or fumed,
They told me to "get it over",
They never realised I was a fire from inside,
My mind was in chaos,
So I tried to be quiet and brave,
All the time suffering.
Until one day I snapped,
Tried to take my own life.
Luckily I was saved by my best friend,
I've finally convalesced,
It's uphill but, I am learning to steer my life in the right direction.

The pearly words tumble from your sweet lips,
even the tightly clasped buds blush open.
8/7/2020

That I was,
How could I love someone else when my own cup was empty.
8/7/2020

Broken pieces of love scattered everywhere,
A wrecked boat stuck in the receding tide,
A wilted rose stuck in a poignant love story book,
A box of chocolates unopened gathering dust,
Just can't remember whose story is it.
6/7/2020

His heart was like the sea,
With its storms of anger,
But beneath its depth,
Lay abundant treasure of love and kindness.

She was the fall out factor between me, him and our love,
It turned out she was his sister.

sunset for moonshine
two souls as one forever
for me only YOU.
4/7/2020

The fire in me I fan with your desire.
3/2/2020

For me no more anxieties,
No more yearnings for things I cannot have,
No more complaints,
No more crying when alone.
I know many times I have taken a wrong turn,
Sometimes, unknowingly I have hurt others,
But God always forgave me,
He never forsook  me,
Now, I have made a wonderful exchange,
I have given Him all my worries ,
Left the rest to Him,
In exchange He has given me peace.
God is my master,
As is His will.
Amen!.

Everyday my neighbour goes to the beauty parlour to look more beautiful,
Who will make the crazy woman understand that a raisin cannot be a grape again.

My heart beats for you,
I adore your smile,
I always think of taking you out for dinner,
But, I hear you eat a lot,
I am afraid my wallet cannot handle the bill.😜

I wish there was insurance for love,
First you paid the premium,
Then if your partner left you or you were betrayed at least you can claim insurance on what you spent on them.
