If This Will Help
Salmabanu Hatim Apr 2020
My friend had corona virus and he did this at home with the help of his wife.
First thing in the morning drink warm water,
Gargle throat with warm water mixed with salt and turmeric powder,
Do hot water steam breathing through mouth and nose to reach lungs
Drink only HOT green tea, tea, coffee, hot chocolate,  milk and warm water,
Don't have anything cold,
Before going to bed have warm ginger powder mixed with honey.
Hope it works .
My friend recovered.

OH!
Salmabanu Hatim Apr 2020
OH!
I was as good as gold,
Sweet as sugar,
As timid as a dear,
Then I fell in love,
My lover took advantage of me.
I became havoc,
Bold as brass,
Bitter as death,
And tough as nails.

The Last Laugh
Salmabanu Hatim Apr 2020
Many countries prepared for nuclear war,
To be the most powerful country,
Accumulating weapons,
Finding life in space,
Building robots and latest gadgets,
Health Care took a back seat,
All the time God  was observing our drama,
Against all these he sent a tiny virus,
Checkmate,
THE LAST LAUGH.

Lockdown
Salmabanu Hatim Apr 2020
Days at home and I have started hearing things,
My furniture and home appliances seem to talk to me.
My bed says "Come and lie down,
Enjoy tea in me,"
My pillows say,"Hug us,relax everything is going to be fine.
As I entered the kitchen my toaster jumped up to warn me of my wife's mood,
Too late, we started arguing and the vacuum told me to **** it up,
To make matters worse the washing machine put a different spin on everything.
The T.V and my mobile threatened to die if I did not give them rest,
Furious I banged the front door,
The door **** advised me to get a grip,
But the door screamed I was unhinged,
At that my fan soothingly said it would soon blow over,
At last the curtains ordered me to pull myself together.

Was lockdown can play havoc on your mind.

The mist
Salmabanu Hatim Apr 2020
I gazed in awe as she got closer,
Lovely,
Ethereal,
Tempting,
Intriguing .
And as you enter her ,
She hugs you wrapping herself around you,
Carressing you softly and gently,
Suddenly she disappears,
Leaving you in a haze anď somewhat moist.

Let's Pray At HP
Salmabanu Hatim Apr 2020
God listens when others pray for you than your self,
Let's all at Hello poetry pray for the people fighting in the  Covid War Zone saving lives.
Read and pray I beseech,
Dear Almighty,
Grant them your back in this fight,
Show them light,
Give them strength to endure this situation,
Give them patience and courage to continue,
Guide their confused minds,
Shower them with gift of blessings when they feel blue,
And Dear Lord let the rainbow colour their lives,
After rain clouds drift away.
What you sow you reap,
Let their harvest be more than they sowed.
Amen.

Your Situation
Salmabanu Hatim Mar 2020
If you're staying alone at home with money but without a woman in your arms you are distancing,
If you're staying at home with money you are in isolation,
If you are staying at home and broke you are in quarantine,
If you are staying at home , broke and with a nagging wife you are in total lockdown.

Mosaic
Salmabanu Hatim Mar 2020
When I looked into her beautiful eyes I saw a mosaic of me with pieces of  light, love  and stars glued together with tenderness,
And I knew how much she loved me.
303/2020
Salmabanu Hatim Mar 2020
A normal day changes into a nightmare,
One two three, soon the numbers rise,
Soon nothing left but to act quickly,
Constructions of makeshift hospitals with beds and critcal equipment necessary to fight the corona virus.
All hands needed at the helm
To steer through the storm of the deadly virus.
Scientists, doctors,pharmacists paramedics, nurses,carers,
volunteers, donors manufacturers to cleaners all deserve an ode and special prayers,
Claps are not enough,
Thank you's are not enough,
These people live on remote control,
To save and protect lives their first priority.
I pray to Lord to give them strength and courage to heal the infected,
To give solace to those who panic
The will to serve humanity.
The spirit to care for and support one another,
Lord,you are strength and refuge,
Guide them,
Reward them in this life,
Answer their prayers,
And if they die in the service of humanity their afterlife is in Heaven.
Amen.
