a breathless sunrise
new dawn brings a rosy glow
birds chirp "Good morning".

Wrapped in bath towel
just out from the tub with toys..
and a bubble bath

I was so hungry for his love I even ate his lies

My soul is the master,
My body is an obedient servant.
Without a soul,
My body is just a corpse,
A wasted husk.
The beauty of my body lies
when it is in partnership with my soul,
Just as you need to exercise and go to a gym to maintain your body's fitness,
You need to go to a mosque,church or temple to maintain your soul's purity.
Your body is a carcass that is going to decompose in the soil,
Your soul is destined for your hereafter,
Your soul will be accountable for your deeds good or bad,
Your soul will accumulate Allah's rewards and blessings.
That can only be done by fasting,praying and giving alms,
Not to forget pilgrimage,
Which imbibes piety and certainty in you,
Guards you against evil,
Restrains you from shameful and unjustful deeds,
Cleanses and purifies your soul,
So that  it leaves your body with least pain,
And the Angels come with joy to wrap in soft musk scented cloth,
And take you to your creator.

Your last kiss tasted of your betrayal.
7/5/2019

Your eyes and smile melt my heart,
You are my Cadbury 's whole nut and raisin chocolate,
To share with anyone I simply would hate.
7/5/2019

Pain always comes to an end,
Ultimately  death takes it away.

we are very late
traffic moves at a snail's pace
throughout heavy rain
6/5/2019

I love you,
You are my dream come true,
You are my happily ever after,
To be loved forever.
You are the lyrical sparkle in my eyes,
A sweet song on my lips,
The rhythmic beat of my heart.
You are the magical magnet that draws me to you,
The reason I want to fly high,
So I can touch the sky,
In bliss with you nearby,
Don't ever say goodbye.

cctv cameras on.

Win or lose I will always be there for I love you.

quiet fishing village
fishermen tow in their boats
again no big catch.

i strung a hammock
betwixt two coconut trees
the moon winked at me.

for lazy grandma
keep one candy on each stairs
entice her to climb.

dad's geraniums
on the kitchen's widow sill
cools down ma's anger.

I prayed to God for some things I wanted like the latest mobile, new sports shoes, watch and so on...........
I asked dad for the same things and he told me to have patience.
So I took the matter in my own hands and stole the things and asked God for forgiveness.
But, dad never believes in forgiveness for stealing, only punishment.
God save me from my dad.

Read the Holy Book and your heart will blossom,
Pray everyday and your face will enlighten,
Do good deeds and your life will be blessed,
Learn and teach to GIVE.

Lonely and helpless,
Oh Lord, give me death,
My Life is worse than a corpse's

If Allah has written you for me you will come.

Never underestimate  the power of prayers.

When I was born,
I cried a lot,
I was ALIVE!
I wanted to stay with the Angels,
But, you laughed and cried tears of joy,
You wanted me so much,
When I died,
I cried only one tear of joy,
I was GONE! No more,
I was going back to my creator,
But you cried tears of sorrow,
I would be missed dearly.

Don't be deceived  by her silence,
It is a warning of an onset of a hurricane.

always find me behind you
mom a trusted friend.

My true love was balm
on his wounded broken heart
he healed and left me.
1/5/2019

I fell in love with a sweet tongued girl in my class,
I was crazy about the lass.
I spent all my pocket money and even my savings on her,
I was warned about her by my brother.
I came to my senses,
I opened my eyes,
When she sought better pastures,
I was left with an empty pocket,
Hungry stomach during break,
And a broken heart.
1/5/2019

An apple a day keeps the doctor away,
Also say "I love you a day" keeps your spouse in your arms.

I fell in love with the way your eyes made me feel safe and touched my soul.

snow falling all day
covers all the ugliness
where is my blanket

My beautiful dove,
My only love,
In love I may be raw
But when you i saw,
Like from the ladder of love,
I came tumbling  and spinning
down,
Hold my hand, don't let me drown.
You are now my joy and pain,
My moonlight, sunshine and rain,
My chocolate  chip cake,
My strawberry milkshake,
My babbling stream,
My sweetest dream,
At the top of my voice I want to scream,
I love you!

was like black coffee,
a bit strong and bit bitter,
taste few can handle.

My princess forever,
My daughter,
To love and cherish ever and ever.
The twinkle in her eyes,
Boosts me with tenderness to sighs.
My little rose,
Loved by all wherever she goes.
Simple and pretty,
Full of fun and witty,
My little piece of music,
With her around life sings to me in lyrics.
Her smiles and hugs,
Are my drugs,
My pain and sorrow away they lug.
My sweet Angel,
My baby girl.

on merry go round
would push kids really fast
recess was great fun.

don't bend or water it down
it wins in the end

pick and eat lice, fleas from furs

A baker on our street could not bake,
He could only fish in the nearby rivers and lake,
Mum bought his bakery,
He bought our old fish factory,
Both are happy for God's sake.

visiting game park
saw some lions on a tree
one circled our van

It is the notion that comes from the soul,
Consolidates in the heart,
Emerges from our body as action.
Authentic  and with goodwill it is blessed,
False and with ill will it is cursed.

A beautiful woman is incomplete without a sweet smile.

Women,
Work,
Weather,
They are never permanent,
Always change.

Slowly, first he took down the skirt,
Then tenderly came the blouse,
He grasped the bra and pulled it out,
Finally, it was the underpants.

Don't be naughty,
He took them from the clothesline.

Never trust anyone completely,
Even your shadow abandons  you in the dark.
28/4/2019

Lobby loob loob,
Went to the loo,
Shake to the right-sigh,
Shake to the left-sigh,
Shake, shake, shake,
Sigh- shake, sigh-shake,
Pat on the head,
Oh no!
Mum, my ketchup won't come out. 28/4/2019

He never knocked,
He never broke in,
He just came and called it home.
27/4/2019

To  beg you to stay ,
Would be a mistake anyway.
My love is not a cage,
Where your love changes into rage,
My love is a gift,
To uplift,
Your free, wild heart,
To paradise free from any hurts.

Winter can be fun too,
For me and you.
Goodbye  to heat waves,
And iced chilled drinks you crave.
Adieus to flies bugs and bees,
Hay fever, poison ivy and also allergies.
Appetites increase,
Cooking and baking never cease,
Not to forget mending and sewing,
And over a cup of hot tea gossiping.
Fire-places aglow,
Whilst landscape is carpeted with snow,
Children enjoy indoor games in the basement below.
Sled riding, ice skating,
tobagonning, and making snowman can be fun,
With the promise of a glowing sun.
In the mornings dad's car can be stubborn,
But a little wooing and engine warm up it can be won.
Winter too is happy time,
More time for poetry, with rhythm and rhyme.

All the hurts I received taught me a  great lesson.
