You are always there for me,
Thank you God for the best Gift,
YOU.

AIDS
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2019
In childhood you play with your toys and hold them close to your heart.
In youth there is one thing on your mind; the opposite ***,
You spend your time and money on them.
In middle age you devote your life on your children till they grow up and move out.
In old age there is you unable to do what you could do before,
Spiced with illnesses and weak mobility.
Now you live with AIDS:
Medications and First Aid,
Sensory Aids,
Mobility Aids,
Toileting Aids,
And Care Aides.

The Poor Man Sleeps Well.
Salmabanu Hatim Jul 2019
The tension a rich man undergoes to amass his wealth and keep it safe,
And the agony of losing some of it,

Others Need You
Salmabanu Hatim Jul 2019
I baked a cake,
For my boyfriend's  sake,
He never came,
His excuses always lame.
So I took it to old people's home,
With eager smiles we were welcomed.
The chocolate chip cake with biscuit,
Was a hit,
The oldies loved it.
The smiles and joy on their faces,
Soothed my disheartened  heart in several places.
There are many in this world who need me and appreciate my effort,
I decided to let go of the relationship,
The other could not keep.

At The Shrine of Hussain
Salmabanu Hatim Jul 2019
Iraq,a war torn country,
Amidst tight security,
Through a jungle of barricades,
And through a throng of people one must wade,
To reach the shrine of Imam Hussain.
At his shrine lies heaven,
A paradise that defies description,
Around you a jostling crowd, mourning,
Chanting his name and beseeching,
Yet,all noise is lost, no barrier,
Only you and Hussain the martyr.
You are at peace,
A Spritual bliss,
As the bars' of his shrine you kiss,
He listens,to him nothing is amiss,
What you have come for you will be granted,
No One  leaves empty handed.
Time spent at his shrine,
Is divine.
Lost in his spirituality so intense,
Sudden shouts of the guards bring you to your sense,
"Move, move, make way",
As you leave you promise yourself to return another time or day.
That is the spritual power of Hussain,
That pulls you to his shrine again and again.

You

What you seek is within you,
The entire universe is enfolded within you.

Perceive  it,
Sense it, and remedy it,
You have no need to look beyond yourself.

Sometimes she laughs so hard,
That tears run down her legs,
And as she rushes to the loo,
We can hear assorted sound effects.

Only mum frowns.
