Enough
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2020
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.

Secrets
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 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.

Reincarnation

After being conceived in my mother to be womb I cried and asked God,"When will I return to you again?"

son."
If you remember me in your prayers I will always be close to you.

Three Diamonds
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2020
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.

Stages In My Life
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 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

Dull and Passive
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2020
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!!!

Anger

One Is Enough
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2020
When his son wedded a tall, lanky, ugly wife who complained  all day long,
The old man gave him several boxes of condoms,

One is enough around the house.

Not Allowed
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2020
I almost died in a car accident,
I saw the Angel of Death take my
husband with him,
I desired to leave the world too
with my beloved .
The conductor refused me to board the bus,
Saying my name was not on the list for almost twenty years to come.
So here I am writing poetry on HP.
