Charity
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2019
Charity begins at home,
And home is our earth,
God chose you,
He gave you billions to conquer
hunger, not space,
Eradicate poverty, not humanity,
Give hope.
Do not defraud God and apply to any other purpose.
HE knows when and how to end the world.

Sexy in Rain
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2019
He is
Boring,
Dull,
Restraint,
But, when it rains he explodes.
He is the sexiest in the rain,
He awakens my soul,
His kisses plants fire on my skin,
He is a maestro with his fingers.
So we got married during  rainy season,
And when it does not rain the shower works wonders.

Stand Tall

My leaves fall every year,

And I wait for better days to come.

Money
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2019
I am the most treasured paper,
New and crispy,
I am adored.
Old ,crumpled and smelly,
I still count.
I am value,
Coins or notes,
For me people have hots,
I am their need and more their wants.
With me people are thrifty or spend thrifts,
I go for spend thrifts,
Cause with them I travel,
Not lie in a murky safe.
I make and break relationship,
People and countries fight for me,
I fluctuate economies and descend to recession,
Or ascend to being Super power.
I am in your destiny,
As fortune, lottery, inheritance .
I can give you respect or attitude,
Ego or humility,
Use me wisely.

Foolish
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2019

But,if you expect me to renew what was between us again,
I am not that foolish.

Every Morning
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2019
I forgive others,
I forgive myself,
I thank God for another new day,

Touch one soul,
Encourage and hold a hand,
For one new day means one more chance to live life.
Amen

Your Love
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2019
Like violets are not always blue,
I doubt if your love for me is true.
Just as roses come in different shade,
So are your feelings for me I dread.
Before your feelings falter,
Or you leave me at the altar,
It is better to say adieu,
Though I love you.

Rise and Shine
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2019
Rise and shine, rise and shine,
Sweet sunshine
Saluted the stars as one by one they disappeared.
Rise and shine,rise and shine
Sweet sunshine,
Sang the moon lovingly,
Romance time is over,
The trio met fleetingly at dawn.
Rise and shine,rise and shine
Sweet sunshine,
Paint the sky in pink and gold,
Ablaze it with your brilliance,
Fill the hearts of the beholder with passion,
Let a new day begin,
Bring the paradise to earth,
Be a new page in  someone's life,
A poet's delight,
A comfort for a sad soul,
Hope and an invitation to brighten someone's life.
Rise and shine, rise and shine,
Sweet sunshine.

Blocked
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2019
When Hello Poetry was blocked,
My mind and heart  too locked.
My mobile rested,
My family feasted,
On the delicious dishes I had time to cook.
I tried other sites,
But  HELLO POETRY for me is right.

Wise Principles
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2019
Twenty-five years ago my mother kicked the bucket,
She left me her photo in a gold locket,
Which I wear next to my heart,
And her treasures  of principles,
That work like miracles.
Truth is the only way out,
White lie can do if it does not hurt without a doubt.
Never complain,beg or ask,
Sometimes a difficult task,
It builds character,
In life an important factor.
God is above all,
In need give him a call,
Have faith,
HE will help you over the roughest path.
Never share your deepest secrets with anyone,
Your best friend or your loved one,
Who knows when?
Next time he can be your worst enemy.
Learn to be grateful for what you have,
For what you have,others pray to crave.
Stand up to injustice and bullies,
You are not more nor less,
At all cost first love yourself.
4/10/2019
If we told a lie mum would give us a good spanking but if we told the truth how much wrong we had done she would not say a word but help us out.She taught us honesty. If my sisters bullied me she would teach me how to stand up to them I was the youngest in the family.

Poor Dad (Limerick)
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2019
Our pretty new neighbour Aunt Emma,
Put our dear mum in a big dilemma,
Every day she came home to tea and gossip,
She ogled at dad after every sip,
So mum took poor dad to her momma.

Not Pride
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2019
He sat in a corner alone,
Alone and forlorn,
Not a word, deep in his thoughts,
To break the silence,to talk to him I sought,
I quietly sat by his side
He brushed me aside,
Was this his pride?
As I was about to leave him alone,
I heard a soft moan,
I realised it was not his pride,
From conversations he shied,
He was trying to fight with his self.

Invitation
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2019
I sat at my dad's bedside as he squirmed and moaned in pain,
It hurt me to see him like that,
I prayed the whole night.
Then early hours of the morning
his countenance  changed,
He looked at peace,
Were my prayers answered?
Was my father recovering?
He smiled broadly looking at me lovingly,
"Dear the Angel Of Death has come,
HE says my place for breakfast at the table with God is ready,
It's  beautiful dear."
And breathed his last.

Song
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2019
It's not the song that brings tears to my eyes,
It's the memory of how we danced the whole night to that song,
How you held me close to your heart,
That night I found heaven.
But,next day you left abruptly without even a goodbye.
Breaking my heart to pieces.
