to keep all cravings well fed
hubby's in dilemma.

When sad,
Try to laugh.
When angry,
Try to laugh.
When in pain,
Try to laugh,
When in stress,
Try to laugh.
Wake up,
And laugh.
Laughter makes you in a good mood.

on the balcony
a crescent moon
frown's at lover's tiff.

Just as weather changes any moment,
So does your mind,
Do what you have decided to do before it's too late.

butterflies flutter
a hue of brilliant colours
a blossom invite
26/8/2019

A lump in the throat,
Tears in the eyes,
Happiness,
Rain,
The chirping of birds and the fluttering of butterflies,
At the seaside or a walk in the woods,
Anger at human and animal abuse,
A cup of hot coffee and
Love,
Brings out the poet in me.

rain pounds on rooftop
water leaks onto ceiling

The richest legacy you can leave with your children is to teach them to live with honesty.

Aged I may be,
But I am not old,
I am still awesome.

Life without dreams is like barren land where nothing grows.

Poetry cannot be explained,
It defeats the purpose,
It's how the reader perceives.
25/8/2019.

It was you,
It was me,
No one around, just silence.
Our eyes locked,
Your fingers filled the spaces of mine,
You smiled,
I blushed,
Still silence only heartbeats racing,
In that moment you found me,
And I knew you were meant for me
25/8/2019

Sitting next to you is like sipping hot chocolate when it's raining,
Feeling warm, cosy and relaxed.

I live in a luxurious  apartment,
She lives in a makeshift hut in the slums,
I sleep on the most comfortable bed,
She sleeps on the floor,
I have a chef and maids to cater for me,
She has her mum and siblings to cater for her,
My chef cooks tasty meals with latest gadgets,
Her mum cooks on firewood the best meals I have ever tasted,
For there is love of her mum in it.
I eat mostly alone,
My family have no time ,each busy in his/her own life,
Her family eats together on the floor and her mum sometimes feeds her,
They joke and laugh together,
I sit alone in my room , busy on my computer, doing homework or chatting,
After dinner her family sits outside the hut gossiping with neighbours while she does her homework under the streetlight .
I enjoy being at my friend's place more because she always has her family who cares,
There is laughter and happiness at her place although they have so little,
They are content with what they have,
I am glad I have a friend like her and her family to share.

Between the pink sunrise of birth and peach and gold sunset of death there is you and your deeds.
Live wisely.
23/8/2019

I wish to travel to all corners of the earth,
But to places where people less fortunate in life live,
Where I can be the reason for their smile.

Mum communicated with us with her eyes and gestures,
When we interrupted her,
Her eyes would be in slits and a scowl told us to leave,
An angry stare and a cough was a signal, "no second helping".
To the guests,"They are full".
And if we dared her,
She would bite her lips, with an angry glare that meant, no pocket money for a week".
If we did something to the visitors' child who messed with us she would  hold us lovingly,
But tightly, a sharp pinch from behind and sweetly ask us to apologise,
Lord Mighty! If we argued the pinch would be sharper meaning,"they are our guests".
Nowadays mummies have their eyes burdened with mascara, and long eyelashes,
Their faces covered with heavy make-up,
They are so busy with their own lives and to ease their conscience  they think their children are gems.

kissed her behind ears
her deep sighs and soft moans an
invite to make love.

He was the hurricane,
And I was his eye.

Two bodies one soul
I get hurt you feel the pain

I don't expect people to like me but they still do cause,
SMILE IS MY STYLE

To experience something,
Fling open the door of your mind
and step out,
The world awaits you.
20/8/2019

I have a smile for every occasion.
20/8/2019

your sensuous skin
cuddling up to me tightly
ah! sweet surrender.
19/8/2019

I may not be perfect,
I have flaws,
But my heart is a Home,
Where everybody is welcome.

She nags
She shouts
She cooks, she launders, she cleans,
Thumping,strutting and waddling all day long,
A smack for us and choicest words for dad if we come in her way.
She talks and laughs out loud too,
Sometimes, she doesn't hesitate to give us her piece of her mind ,
For her a stone is a stone,
That is her, my mum,
That is her way of showing her love.
We are her world.

As my pile of mistakes grow,
So do I to be better and better.

Generosity is also a part of courage,
A courageous  man is not afraid to spend and give generously.

As I waited at the bus stop a ***** just looked at me without asking for anything.
After some time,feeling I should do a good turn and being proud about it I asked him"Do you need any help?"
His reply brought me to my senses,"Don't we all."
Those three wisest words said everything.
Yes, we all do.

When your man brings you flowers and gifts for no reason,
Beware!
He is having an affair.
16/8/2019

If you don't take the risk,
You will never take a step to love,
And if you don't love,
You have never enjoyed living.

Gaze at the stars,
Romance with the moon,
When I have you in my arms.

Like sugar sweet people can dissolve in any heart even if it is full.
15/8/2019

Please come back,
You are my need,
Not my want.

They say I am not smart,
They say I don't always say the right things,
They say I don't wear fancy clothes.
But, my children say my beauty lies in my soul,
Where bells of love toll.
They always have a hand to hold,
Whenever they fall.
And gently console,
When in problems they call.

born not unto her
grew up into mummy's heart
bond greater than blood.

Three states of love are
Solid: bonds and unites,
Liquid:dissolves hate and anger
              Universal solvent
Gas:diffuses everywhere.
Love wins all.

You are never alone,
God is always with you,

A hope to fill up the emptiness,
a relief,
a longing for something,
a trap,
an obsessive  behaviour,
creates an altered state of consciousness,
toxic,

I was just a leaf on the tree of life,
You came like a storm and swept me off a branch,
I flew upwards at first and then
drifted towards  you,
I let love find me.

"The Old Man And  The  Sea" by
Ernest Hemingway  is a great reflection on patience and endurance.
It lessens all my problems and makes my life easier.
