Mummy loves Daddy
Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2019
Mummy loves daddy,
Daddy loves mummy,
Is it yes?
Yes, yes it is.
No fighting mummy,
No fighting daddy,
It makes us unhappy.
Think of all the flaws of daddy like a rotten piece of meat,
Throw them in the bin,
You too, daddy do the same of mummy,
Now think of the lovely times you spent together,
Find the goodness in each other,
And knock, knock, we count too.
Mummy loves daddy,
Daddy loves mummy,
Kiss and make up,
Hug tight,
Let's  be a family.

In the rain
Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2019
** ** ** what is this,
How how the clouds roar and thunder,
See see the lightning  split the sky.
** ** ** what is this,
Look look how this small lake ripples in glee,
The rivers rumble and tumble down the mountain,
And the trees,standing standing bathe in the rain, drenched to their roots,
The birds too hide in their nests.
** ** ** what is this,
I come out in the rain,
No umbrella, no raincoat, just silver drops and me,
Pouring pouring on me and everything,
Bringing joy and life.

Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2019
I wish I was the moon and you the star,
The sky would be our palace,
We would ride on the clouds,
And swing on the rainbows,
Raindrops would be our tears of joy.
Many will come looking for you,
But, you will be mine only.

My Love
Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2019
My love is the thorn of the rose,
Though it hurts,
It lasts and has more fragrance,
To love forever.
Unlike the rose that blossoms,
Metes exotic fragrance,
But, soon it wilts and its petals fall off,
An infatuation.

Embrace
Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2019
It was a beautiful Sunday morning,
Mum had gone for the weekend to see grandma,
Only dad and us were at home.
We decided to go out,
Dad wanted to see a movie,
We wanted to go to the football match,
Dad and I had an argument,
For once I was right,
The ratings for the movie were not good,
"Dad at least try to embrace your mistakes."
He started crying,
I got tensed,
I had never seen him crying,
He took us in his arms and embraced us tightly,

Seasons
Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2019
Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn,
Each has a beauty of its own,
Live in each season,
It's there for a reason,
Inhale its air,
Feel its beauty everywhere.
Taste its fruits and crops,
Keep up your hopes.
Enjoy the white serenity of winter,
The orange of spring with the melting of snow,its downpour as new life begins to stir.
The greenery of summer trees,
Schools closes,
To have fun and enjoy the beaches.
And beautiful autumn with its unique glow,
It's leaves turning brown,red and yellow.
Each season has its own charm and value,
Feel its presence, embrace its beauty painted in colourful hue.

After the Leg Op.
Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2019
This is not fair,
No one is here to care,
You want me to climb up and down,
On my own.
What if I fall?
Darling, what if you ascend all,
Start with one step, at a time with one foot,
Then slowly the next boot.
Don't think there's no way out,
Believe in yourself without a doubt,
Soon, you will be flying,
With happiness  cheering and laughing.

Why I Love You
Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2019
I love you,
When you tease me,
Play pranks on me,
Burst out in laughter with me,
You blossom,
You look adorable.

I love you when when you sleep,
With one arm and leg on me,
You look way cute,
With your curls on your face too.

I love you when howl in the shower,
Sing songs we both love,
Care free, content.

I love you when you look into my eyes,
Hug me tight,
Kiss me long,
Whisper in my ears,"I love you too."

Let's grow old together and have fun,
My heart you have won.

My Sweetheart
Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2019
She is water,
A basic need,
Pure at heart
Crystal clear in thoughts
Universal solvent, any one can get along with her,
Full of kindness,
Most of all she quenches my thirst of loving her,
She completes me in life.

Who Who To Love
Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2019
Who, who do I love,
One heart,
Many takers.
I am mum's world,
Dad's dream come true,
Granny's  heart of gold,
Grandpa's hero,
My sister's champion,
My uncles, my aunts, and my cousins, all love me too,
My best friend and even my friends want a piece of my heart,
Not to forget the old lady who lives across the street,
Even my neighbour's daughter,
But I already have a girlfriend
who wants my whole heart.
Who Who to give,
Who Who to share with,
Now, that's a dilemma.
Should it be you, you or you.
Grandpa came to the rescue,
Son, take a cup of tea,
Put as much sugar as you want in it,
The sugar will go on dissolving making the tea sweeter,
So take in all the love,
And part with the sweetness to everyone.
8/6/2019
Love is there to be shared.

Born Again
Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2019
She gave the last push,
I slid out swoosh,
I didn't want to come,
To this world,cumbersome.
I refused to cry,
The doc would not let me die,
I gave out a wail,
He beamed,"See, I never fail.
The nurse gave me to mum,
Tired, dishevelled,utterly happy
she stretched out her arms,"Come, come,
My handsome chum."
Yes,lady, life is going to be fun,
You and me, your little one,
Where's my old man that brought me here,
There he was near mummy dear,
Oh my Lord! You have sent me to softies,
Not like the last,pretending to be believers in deities,
Forced me to live in fear and abuse,
These ones of cruelty I cannot accuse.
Lord! This time you have changed the stage,
A couple, of middle age,
Pining  for a child,
I smiled,
Held mum's thumb,
Tried to ****,dumb,
Gave the old man a grin,
Such happiness I had never seen,
I promised to be terrible two from now,
The Lord guffawed.

In my first birth I had been abused and sold again and again till my body gave in.
