My mum was afraid of heights,
My dad was afraid of depths,
Being their by product I am afraid of both.

Treasured you in my heart,
Nor in my eyes,
But in my soul.
For a kind person with inner beauty,
And a pure soul like you,
Who pours sunshine of happiness on me,
Deserves to be my soulmate.

We were still talking,
Engrossed in our conversation,
That's when I really came to know him.

In marriage,
Should be like a bricks in
the brick wall,
Each strengthening the other.

"I love you"
         Or
"I hate you"
can change somebody's  life.
11/11/2019

I am aged and I live alone,
I like it, it's  fun,
Do whatever I want,
No one to say don't.
I live like a queen,
Though I am a has been,
Room service three hundred sixty five days,
Breakfast in bed
Lunch and dinner on the sofa drives my children mad.
My helper sees to my needs,
So why should they heed,
How I enjoy my life.
They say I should be active,
Pray let me be and live.
As a child I have been through poverty,
Faced life's harsh reality,
Walked miles,no cars or buses,
One time meal would suffice,
Even if it was some curry and rice.
Slogged hard to give my children the best of  everything.
I deserve some relaxing and lazying,
I have done everything for everyone,
Now, it's my turn.

She is icy/hot,
Hot and cold like Gobi Desert.
When she is icy,
She is cold as Antarctica,
Breathtakingly  beautiful, alluring, allusive,
Frigid as a stone,
Aloof as the stars,
Frosty as an iceberg.
Her  steel blue eyes can pierce your very being,
Her wintry smile stops you in mid-sentence.
When she is aroused,
She becomes a smouldering volcano,
Tempestuous, cascading  hot lava
of desire,
As fiery as a glowing Sun,
As passionate as a young lover,
She emits an aura of sensuality,
She becomes an inferno of ecstasy ,
A bagful of icy/hot feminity.

The road which we used to take so often hand in hand,
Cried bitterly,
When it saw me alone.
The trees on the roadside wept,
And shed their leaves.
The  birds chirped with dismay,
Whilst the lampposts dimmed their lights,
Unable to see me forlorn.

Embryo in womb,
Almighty make me a boy,
Dad can have an heir.

To respect women,
Not because they are a weaker ***,
But you have been brought up and trained by a good MOTHER.

Life is full of strife,
If you have lost something  in life,
Remember one thing,
What you have lost is nothing,
Compared to what you have gained,
It fills you with profound joys unexplained.
What you don't have is just a dream,
What you have is beyond your dreams,
Hold on to it,
Every little bit.
Your family,your relations and your dignity,
Your dignity is your pride in society,
Your family, your pearls,your precious treasure,
Your relations,your world, has no measure.

Before leaving him I closed the door to his heart,
It was leading me nowhere,
Now I have better things to do,
At least l can now do my laundry  instead of doing his.

I lovingly caressed its top,
Tenderly held it in my finger,
Quickly lit its bottom,
And inhaled longingly.
Slowly, my tension receded,
As I blew rings in the air,
Puff after puff after puff.
There was a knock on the door,
Quickly, I sprayed air freshener,
Opened the windows,
Slipped a chewing gum in my mouth.
It was mum,the same nag,nag,nag ....
I smiled and listened,
The special  cigarette  had stimulated me.

Beautiful rain,precious rain,
Silver drops to add colour to nature,
Heavenly life line for the parched soil.
Nobody minds, neither the bird nor the tree,
All are happy,
Me too.
I run out in the rain,
I hear the leaves drinking the liquid drops,
It clatters on the rooftops,
Pitter patters on window panes,
Gushes out of the overflowing spouts,
Roars down the gutters.
I breathe the blessed rain,
As it falls on me,
Kisses me,
Drums on my head with its pearly drops,
Sings a sweet song to me,
As I twirl and dance in the rain.

I prefer my sisters' children to call me Maasi,
Rather than aunt.
Aunty can be anybody,
Maasi specifies me,
As mother's  sister,
And only a maasi  can love like a mother.

I start my food with a pinch of salt,
Before I eat I say,"Bismillah"
After I finish I say,"Alhamdulillah"
The rest I leave to the digestive system.
That is Faith.

You can be the most powerful person on Earth,
A clown full of mirth,
Most knowledgeable,
A Pope,a priest,a guru or in any field able.
You can build bombs and bullet proof bunkers, houses , cars,
And  hide behind heavy bars,
Deep underground or under the seas
You cannot escape death despite
all your pleas.
What is ordained so it shall be dear,
On the day, date and time the Angel of Death will be there,have no fear.
Go in Peace!
You come with nothing,you depart with nothing,
In between you can amass everything.

Grow up,

Don't burn up.

She cried her eyes out
to show her hurt,
Whilst I hid my hurt
behind a sweet smile.

When you want to learn the art of blending colours study nature,
See the sunrise and sunset,
And its gorgeous colours strewn across the sky,
The seven colours of the rainbow and their arrangements,
The beauty and enhancement of the stars and moon with the background of the night sky,
Black gives depth to all colours.
Colours is the smile of nature,
Its luscious greenery,
And its colourful hues of flowers.
Colour is in emotions too,
Its power which influences the soul,
Besides who would prefer not living in colours.

He is a pen,
I am paper,
Great ideas we create.
He is the bow,
I am the arrow,
Cupid's love is our cup.
He is the current,
I am the switchboard,
Our love flows without a hitch.
He is the hand,
I am the glove,
Nothing can separate us.
He is the melody,
I am the lyric,
Together we make a beautiful song.
He is the strength,
I am the love,
We face life with courage.
He is the body,
I am the soul,
A harmonious whole,
Soul mates.

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.
6/5/2019

I yearn to drown into the deep pools of his gentle blue eyes,
I want to dive into the depths of his beautiful soul,
I hunger to taste his firm lips on me,
Get lost in our desires,
That is where I am alive.
And hang on to every precious moment of it.

A blanket of blossoms...
separation from nectar,
The bee's misery.

Being loved is not enough,
You need to go out into the world,
To find people who need love,
And through the light in their hearts,
You will reach a new level of happiness,
And fly high enough to touch the universe.

Why have you come?
To weep on my grave,
Mourn and rave,
When all these years
It was only I who shed tears,
Whilst I was left to die in a corner,
With no one about me to bother.

Why Have You Come?
To lay a wreath on my grave,
When not a single rose you gave,
On my birthdays.

Why Have You Come?
To beg for forgiveness,
When you never cared for my happiness.

Why have you come?
To show for me you cared
When you never knew how I fared.
Away with you, you two faced knave,
To you,I was always a mere slave.

I smiled,
All the while,
It was as false
As a dice.

The came my laughter,
It was bitter,
Uncontrollable  tears fell thereafter.

On the floor I sagged,
Within me a volcano raged,
Me,I, myself  ditched!!
When many I had dumped.

All  the wedding plans had been made,
All the time I was misled,
Not me, my best friend he wanted.

Suicide? Not my kind,
******? Was on my mind.

Then I realised,
The magma in me subsided,
With despair I smirked,
My eyebrows quirked,
Many I had jilted,
They must have been brokenhearted,
You reap what you sow,
In time, may be,I will find the right beau.

In the meantime I will rest,
Hot scented baths,soft music,
delicious food, the best.
Perhaps, a move to the countryside,
With family and old friends by my side.

First thing after you die you lose your name:
They call you the body, deceased,
corpse or even ashes.

One and two,
Me and you,
I Love you,
You love me too.
Now we are three,
Never free,
But it's fun,
To have a little one.
One more,
Now we are four,
It's a girl,
Papa's world,
Mama's precious pearl.
It's a boy,
Papa's joy,
Mama's cuddly toy.
Me and you,
Our love true,
2/7/2021

We have been married for fifty years,
Seen many seasons,faced many fears and tears.
What was mine and yours,
Has become ours.
We are a pair,
Everything we share,
Equally and fair.
One bed,one blanket and a hot water bottle between us,
No complaints, no fuss.
We share a spoon,
When we have soup at noon,
A sip for me,
A sip for he.
We share the spectacles,
I, to read aloud the bible,
He to read the newspaper which he is able.
We both listen to each other,
He sometimes affectionately  calling me mother.
We share the dentures too
For solid food that needs to be chewed.
He wipes my face and I his,
As sometimes tears stain the cheeks.
We hold each others hands tightly and pray,
We stay together as long as the Lord may.

Alone I am a lone soul,
Together we are whole.
Alone I break,
Together we make.
Alone I go astray,
Together we stay.
Alone I find myself,
Together we have ourselves.
Alone I smile only,
Together we laugh openly.
I am alone in a crowd,
Together we are the crowd.
Alone my feelings are my own,
Together our feelings are known,
Halved and shared,
Loved and cared.

He came,
Spurted a teaspoon of ***** inside her:
A politician,
A model,
A traitor,
A patriot,
A teacher, nurse, doctor,
An artist, a poet, a writer,............ and I,
A swimming gold medallist.
We all swam to reach the ****,
I was Y and I merged withX first,
A new swimming sensation was born.

a gift from heaven
has mummy's eyes and dad's nose
whose genes are stronger

Happiness is a choice,
Your choice,
Your desire,
Your focus,
If so,what about
Victims of war torn countries,
Seeing your men, women and children die before you.
A country under dictatorship,
Not knowing if you will see the next sunrise for a minor offence.
Abused, abused and abused all your life.
Terminally sick,fighting for the last breadth,
Injustices, corruptions and poverty,
Never a chance to come out of it,
Cause it is willed in your destiny not your choice.
If happiness is a choice who would not take it,
If happiness is a choice
There would be no physicatrists,
no depressions and no suicide,
no shootings, no revenge.
If happiness is a choice bad would not prevail.
Whomever I have loved have left me,
I try to be happy, am I,
This heart of mine just doesn't want to listen.
I tried to find exciting and fun happiness,
I tried to find calm and peaceful happiness,
But there is still a void.
If happiness was a choice no one would pray or remember God.

My heart is a baroque style garden,
You are my lovely gardener,
Therein you have created a beautiful effect of mind and soul,
Which tranquilizes and arouses my senses like a drug,
And awakens my unconscious  self to new heights.

Yoga is a poetry of movements,

It was a beautiful moonlit night,
He went down on his knees,
plucked the glowing moon,
and put it on my finger,
"Will you marry me?"

Fat bride Jenny,
Went to see Dr.Benny,
Had gas and constipation,
Could not eat her favourite venison.
The nurse asked her to get up on the scale,
The scale gave a yell,
The scale huffed and puffed,
The nurse in fear trembled and coughed,
The scale cried,
"We need your weight,fat bride,
Not Your Mobile number,
Get down, don't mount me ever."

Time spent with nature,
Is the purest way to innerpeace.

one early morning
saw robins looking for worms
winter was leaving
lovely colours everywhere
home awaits spring cleaning

plays truant from school
wriggling worms in boy's tin box
nice day for fishing

Don't be like your older brother,
We are social beings,
Be kind,
Be compassionate,
Hear our cries,
Let us out!
Give us wings to fly.
31/12/2020

For the last time I closed my eyes,
I heard your cries.
You should not have done so,
For the Angels were carrying my soul,
In musk scented cloth,
To heaven, I had earned my worth,
On earth.
But when you cried and complained to the Lord,
In mid-flight the Angels stopped,
I beseeched them to move on,
Life on Earth for me was gone.
Hereafter is peaceful,
Serene, calm and beautiful,
Neither pain nor sorrow,
Everywhere is light aglow.
I walk in the Light of Adam and Eve,
All the prophets and saints before me,
Mohamed (pbuh),Ali (a.s)and Jesus too,
Tell me mum, what on Earth I
would do,
Mum,let go of missing me pain,
I have not died in vain,
I am happy with my Lord,my salvation.
