As she needed to be more closer to herself first.

Like mum,
Similar habits,
Older,
But without  RULES.

Don't tell your best friend,
She may become your enemy,
Your deepest secrets.

An African girl married a Chinese man,
They spent their honeymoon in a caravan,
Soon they had a baby girl,
She looked Chinese with black curls,
They named her Mwana Dandan

Is not something to save,
Share it,
Let it multiply

He loved kissing,
Then say,"Just loving".
He kissed my fingers,
All clenched except the middle one.
He kissed my neck,
It was soon covered with rashes.
Next he kissed my cheeks,
An ugly dark red acne broke out.
That was the last straw!
I smeared sleeping aryuvidic herb on my lips,
He  kissed them,
He became senseless.

You love me when you have the time or need of me,
Now I have learned to love myself.

You are never alone,
God is always with you,

She cried,
When she was in pain during her labour,
She cried with joy,
When she first held her baby girl in her arms,
She cried with all her child's first,
Tooth, crawl, steps, words mama,vaccinations,solid food and first day at school,
Cause now she was a mama with a unique, beautiful responsibility.
A Gift of God she nurtured for nine months in her womb,
A tiny soul that depends on her for all her needs and calls her
MAMA.

Tends to become egotistical.

Is *patience *
Everything happens at its own time
And according to seasons.

I don't have time for anything or anybody,
Cause
When I am sleeping I only dream of you,
And when I' m awake I only think of you.
20/5/2021

Do and do not brag about it,
Don't delay in doing what you have to do,
Do and don't count how much you have done for them,
Your left hand should not know how much good your right hand has done.

As I was arguing with my daughter,
I saw a reflection of mumin me,
And a reflection of me in my daughter,
When I was her age.

If I was a Gift for you,
You were a blessing for me.

Love  like burps, yawns and sneezes just happens,
Nature's way.

When he touched me,
Sunshine of joy oozed from my heart,
And the stars seemed to waltz around goosebumps on my skin.
14/3/2022

Is for living,
It is your gift,
Don't waste it on making money,
Expectations,
Dependent  on others,
And what others think of you.
Envision you are on a rollercoaster,
Get into the front seat,
Throw your arms up in the air,
Breathe deep,
Let go,
Ride the ride of your life.

early morning dew
makes the day fresh and new
silence everywhere.

I know this gambler....
he betted all on colour red,
He is now homeless.

In my grave,
I have fear of darkness,
And closed spaces.

falling autumn leaves
teaches art of letting go
time is the healer.
4/2/2021

Autumn leaves falling
my thoughts flutter around too
calling out your name.

From my window sill
saw the moon in a birdbath
relishing a soak.

You say you love me the most,
You love me in many ways,
So marry me,
And take the vow"I do".

Two red petals of a rose,
Moist with dew,
Trembling as my eyes gazed at them,
And when my lips touched them,
I felt their fragile softness and sweetness as if dipped in honey.

We had black tea,
Because we could not afford milk,
We could only have one meal a day,
The rice, chapattis, curry and pickles all mixed together so it would be enough for seven mouths.
Now, I see people  have black or green tea and one healthy meal,
Either they are on diet or to maintain health.

I asked for wealth,
HE  gave me wisdom.

Guests who came said my husband was acting,
Trying to make my life hard.
Ignorant were they.
How could a man act,
Who was not aware of his own
EXISTENCE.

her sweet toothless smile
napping or yapping at us
with a heart of gold.

As he knelt down and proposed to her,
The moon giggled cheekily,
The stars nodded,
And the bouquet of flowers he held chorused,
Yes

The day our first child was born,
Our bohemian and crazy  life style was gone,
We became architects of our own characters,
Which is what matters,
For children are our reflections,
And they learn from our actions.

When you learn to say sorry,
To your woman,
Even if it isn't your fault.
14/8/2022

Every love letter I have written to you I have shared a piece of my innermost self with you.
13/11/2021

Why do you complain?
If  God can feed the organisms  under the soil and deep in the ocean,
You have HIS spirit in your soul,
You will get what is meant for you.
Have Faith and Patience.

My friend and I still love watching cartoons,
Our favourite is Tom and Jerry,
They relate to us,
She is Jerry and I am Tom.
We fight,
We tease each other,
We try to be one up on each other,
We irriate each other,
But we cannot do without one another.

one crispy morning
nestlings peep out of their nest
chirping for their food.

My love was like a caterpillar,
Cocooned in the chrysallis of my
heart.
But, when I met your glance,
Felt the tender touch of your fingers,
Saw your eyes dilate shyly,
with sparkles in them,
The cheeky curve of your smile.
My love shed and grew into a beautiful butterfly,
Thirsty for your nectar,
My exotic flower.

When a girl is born,
A boy they would have preferred
But, it's okay,
A girl is a Lakshmi,
Good luck and wealth will come.
She is pampered,
Her parents princess,
Well dressed, nourished and educated,
She is groomed in household chores,
Taught sewing, cooking and embroidery.
They brag about her talents and
honourable character to friends and neighbours,
With one main aim on their minds,
To get  her married as soon as possible,
To the most eligible groom.
If she argues or refuses she is the most ungrateful girl after what they have done for her,
If she says she wants to finish her studies,
No big deal, you can continue at your in-laws,
And on and on till she agrees to get married,
An Indian girl is just a keepsafe at her parents,
To be handed over to the groom,
The earlier the better.

Ride in a Ferrari,
See the Seven Wonders of the world,
Travel in the Concorde,
Be in the Guiness Book Of World Record for writing the most poems,
Go bungee jumping on Victoria Falls,
And lastly see Serengeti Wildbeest Migration on hot air balloon.

He said ,"Trust me."
I said,"Show me,earn it and build it."
I will be yours forever.

She was a dam,
When he made love to her,
The gates opened,
He drowned in her desires.

I may be gone,
But you are not alone,
I am there for you
Me and you.
I travel in light years,
I have supersonic ears,
My senses more alert,
I can feel the beat of your heart.
I hear you,
I see you,
I feel you.
Look for me in the clouds,moon and stars,
See me twinkle for you from afar.
When I see you in tears,
I too, rain my dear.
I may be beyond your touch,
But,I am near you as much.

Old age,
I learned to be wise,
To be patient,
To know the reality of life,
Gathered knowledge,
All for nothing ,
Cause I am beginning to forget even the basic things.
29/10/2022

For letting go of me,
I got time to reflect and find myself.
28/11/2021

I feel young,
My thoughts are young,
My desires are young,
But, my bones do not agree with them.

Is an excuse to fulfill responsibility.
11/7/2022

Have your own mindset,
Be yourself
Be humble.
