Roses are red,
Soft pillows beneath my head,
Snooze on.

No, no get up,
Here's a coffee cup,
You not on Forbes List yet,
Have to make bucks mate.

Oh no! Mornings  ****,
Divine Lord change my luck,
Shower on me bundles of greens,
Please, Please without much ado.

They were of different creed,
Colour,
Religion,
Temperament,
But like salt and pepper they blended each having its own uniqueness,
And always together.

When you Whats app me,
You make my world a little,
Sweeter,
Livelier,
Kinder,
You give me happiness,
When you say,"Hi Grandma,"
And ask about my day,
How I am feeling.
Though we are apart,
I will always cherish you in my heart.
May you climb the ladder of success higher and higher,
And get everything you desire.
Thanks for being in my life,
You mean a lot to me.

The stars in my eyes twinkle,
Only for you,
The light of the moon glows on my face,
Only for you,
The beats of my heart sigh,
Only for you,
The smile on my face gasps in awe,
Only for you,
The touch on my skin craves,
Only for you,
Only for you my love,
Please believe it's true,
I live only for you.

Want somebody to love you and hold your hand,
I am available.
25/2/2020

I will love you forever or all my life would be an understatement.
Who knows what is around the corner,
An event in our life can make me hate you,
So I love you and try my best to keep loving  you.

She is a feeling of my silent love,
She is my  wish come true,
She is the hope of all my tomorrows,
She is my first and last search for love,
I can see stars in my eyes,
And hear bells ringing in my heart.
For, she is the one, she is the one,
O  baby I love you,I love you so,
Baby I love you,
Love you so.

He asked why Muslim women wear a  veil (cover themselves completely.
The priest took two sweets from his pocket,
He removed the paper from one sweet and threw both sweets on the floor,
Then he asked,"Which one would you pick?"
Of course the one with the cover.
That's what Muslim men prefer.

An atheist wanted proof,
He wanted to see the creator,
That is simple,
Look directly at the sun for some time,
He could not,
My eyes hurt he said.
If it is impossible  for you to see his creation for a few minutes,
How will you be able to see HIM.

At home my family treated me like a fast forward /rewind button,
Not to be outdone I stuck to pause,
Now,they call me stubborn.

I feel,
My heart skips a beat,

And my grandchildren interact  with me like I am a stranger.
I wish bonding  of relationship be stronger through extended family.

Yes,I was naive  and innocent,
But, I was drunk on his kisses,
I was drunk with his touch,
I was drunk on his sweet tongue,
I was filled with desire,
So, I suppose I can't say he took advantage of me.

lonely bud on a stalk
soon the sun will shine on you
succulent beauty.
22/2/2020

Love me and be there when I need you.

Need in detail:
Pay the bills on time,
Help around the house,
Mow the lawn,
See to children's needs,
Entertainment,
See we  live a comfortable life

Children of my womb,
Born unto me,
Your every part and emotions are a part of me,
Precious and sensitive.
When you are hurt or wounded,
I bleed inside me,
The pain in your eyes I share with mine,
Praying you will have a better tomorrow.
By now you must have realized,
The reason for my yell,
Is I cannot bear you suffer,
The screams you hear now and then,
Are the anguish of my heart to see you safe and sound.
When you cry on lonely nights,
I respect your wish to be alone,
But, it is my tears I wipe on the pillow clutched tightly in my arms.
Your tears, emptiness and sorrows tear me apart,
I share your triumphs along with your dreams,
Your joy and laughter,
Which you can witness in my smile,
And a proud gleam on my face.
After all I am a mother.

His brilliant, innocent smile was a trap to ****** me.
20/2020.

Silently,
Slowly,
Gracefully,
She blossomed,
Unfolding her beauty,
Petal by petal,
A perfect rose,
Sweet and  fragile,
Caressed by innocence.
He came into her room one night,
Her own peer,
He violated her,
Took away her purity,
Crushed her trust,self respect and joy,
With his greed,lust and evil intentions.
I could see her dark rimmed eyes, sad and haunted,
Now a tattered rose.

Your life should be like an ECG,
With ups and downs,
Remember a straight line means
REST IN PEACE (RIP)

gazing through mirror
at lovely things on display
just window shopping.
18/2/2020

Crowded mall,
Frenzied shopping feet,
Jostling carts,
At last my shopping done.
Dragging my feet and trolley
I  manage to come out onto the street,
The traffic was a nightmare,
Crossing the road was a battle,
Nobody cared to help,
Busy in their own thoughts.
I felt alone, a reject,
I looked around,
I saw a street beggar a few feet away from where I stood,
He smiled kindly,
Left his post,
Took my hand and my trolley and helped me cross the road,
He waited until my bus came.
I offered him some change left in my purse,
He refused saying,"No mammy  kindness is free."
Tears in my eyes I thanked him thinking getting it is priceless.

The love story of my husband and myself.
17/2/2020

You say you hate me,
You don't want to see me again.
Your eyes tell a different story,
They whisper you love me,
Don't go,
Please stay,
Your gestures beckon me to you.
I will listen to your eyes,
I love the way they romance with my heart.

The best way to a woman's heart is through his big fat wallet.

Davos meetings,
Climate Change,
Wake up we must,
Take heed we must,
Take care of nature we must
But, in the end it will be as HE wishes,
KUN FAYA KUN (be and it will be)
A single virus,
Coronavirus brought the most populated country
CHina to a stand still.
People stayed at home,
Industries came to a standstill,
The air got cleaner,
Family bond became stronger.
Que cera cera,
Whatever will be ,will be.

Self love at its peak.

Kindred spirits,
One of a kind,
Share the same mind,
Tuned into each other,
Like a radio frequency.
15/2/2020

Healthy eyes to perceive,
An intellectual mind to understand,
Read and understand other's work,
Let nothing evade your eyes,
Help yourself to lots of ideas,
Get some of yourself,
Mix, change and adjust,
Call it research.
Remember don't eat directly from the  beehive.

Is a flow of emotions put into words on paper,
Just as melody is an essence to music ,
So is nature an essence  to poetry.

Life is a palette  of different colours,
You have the power to choose your own colours.
Even in old age broken crayons still colour
14/2/2020

On this day of Valentine,
Be mine,
I love you still,
I always will.
First Valentine was celebrated by lovers,
Now, even by others,
Why not,
Love me, love me not.
Love is universal,
An entity needed by all,
As Jesus said,"Love All."
Love is a sign of a red heart,
Send the cupid's dart,
To your romantic lover,
Mother,father, sister or brother,
And friends that matter.

Congratulations!
Your wife delivered a clock without a pendulum at 3:00a.m

Aged I am not,
I have seen many seasons,
I have been through many storms,
Lighted many candles on my birthday cake,
Now I only light one for too many candles would spoil the cake.
Now, I am ripe and juicy,
Mellow, wholesome and wise,
Maddeningly  full of life.
13/2/2020

In peace and not in pieces.
