A wise man's tongue lies behind his heart,
So that his words are gracious and tranquil.

my next-door neighbour
bugged by his laughs and odd jokes
Lonely deep inside.

I am normal
My life is normal
I act normal,
Behave as nornal.
My blood sugar is normal,
My blood pressure is normal,
My blood count is normal,
But my children find me amazing,
Because for them I am a fierce lioness,
Who will protect her pride any time.

Seven EIGHT poor six
Run away dear five

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
One thing is true,
I love only you.
All the year through I love you more than you know,
As days come and go.
The way you smile in a special way,
Happy is my day,
And just knowing you are nearby,
Gives me wings to fly.

My love is an open book,
Illustrated by an artist's brush,
Beautifully prosed with a poet's pen,
Bound with lovers' lips.

My love is a delicious meal,
I sleep well ,
I think well,
I smile more.

My love is sunshine,
It infuses me with courage,
It gives me strength.

My love is everyday reality,
It is there when I wake up.

My love is pure as rain,
It delights my soul.

My love is music,
It has its high and low notes.

My love is a fragrant flower,
It's nectar,
Turned my world sweeter.

My love is a balm,
It healed my damaged soul.

My love is a deep ocean,
Where I submerged  my sorrows
and pain.

My love is Faith and trust,
It has patience and gratitude,
It is a sturdy tree,
With deep roots,
It will hold forever.

When sad,
Try to laugh.
When angry,
Try to laugh.
When in pain,
Try to laugh,
When in stress,
Try to laugh.
Wake up,
And laugh.
Laughter makes you in a good mood.

I am silent,
I have given up,
It's useless.
As long as you don't realise what I am going through,
There is nothing left to fight or argue about.
You never understand,
You present me with examples of other people's lives,
I am not them,
I don't have the energy to cry on deaf ears,
I am silent.
Now, I have come to terms with my life,
Adapted to  changes,
No more complaints,
I am silent.
I am healing at last,
I have no more expectations from you,
I have learned to live with Grace and faith in my Creator,
For He is never going to abandon me,
He will  listen to my silence through my tears.

Never a perfect family,
I was not a perfect mom,
My husband was not a perfect dad,
My children were not perfect,
But we had love,
We bonded,
And we had perfect moments.

Is maskless,
That sees good in everyone.

On this Valentine's  Day,
I give you a Rose with a thorn,
To say,"Accept me with my flaws,
I am what I am,
But I love you as you are."

life is magical
leads you to your life partner
villain or hero.......

I have learned to recite Quran at a very young age,
We went to school in the morning,
And to Madrasa in the afternoon,
I don't know Arabic,
My mother tongue is Gujrati,
I don't understand what I am reciting,
But it is the Book of Allah,
And after reading it,
I feel I have cleansed myself of sins,
A sense of calmness and peace comes over me,
And if any day I miss reciting it I feel empty.

With cost.😄🤣

My eyes were wide shut when I
fell for you,
Now,thank you,
You are a deeply superficial person.
I don't want your love anymore,
Please give me back my loving playful and innocent heart.

Just move on.

lonely moonlit night
trying to hide my longings
to sleep in your arms.

I had to leave,
I had nothing left to give.
Your lust,
Had become your must.
Your unsatiated desires,
Became quagmires.
Your continued demands,
Hollering reprimands,
Had left me hollow ,
Empty with nothing but sorrow.

came home from work tired
yawned many times wife knew was
scream for hot coffee.

Roses are red as beautiful as you,
Violets are blue,
Both in a bouquet a colour hue,
Like our love fresh as morning dew,
Me and you,
Only us two.

Before I went to sleep,
I counted my blessings,
For having you,a beautiful family and trusted friends,
Their care and love,
A roof over my head,
All my needs met,
And many of my  wants too.
Then,you had an accident and departed,
So sudden,no hugs no goodbyes.
Grief gripped my soul,
Agony wounded my heart
Nothing made sense.
Night after night tears drenched
my pillow,
Muffled sobs, my eyes swollen.
Remembering  moments with you,
My heart would break anew.
Until one day my priest made me realize,
You were a blessing too,
HIS trust (amanat) he had given me.

coyly in a soft voice,
Almost a whisper,
He leaned close to her to listen.
She smiled broadly excited,
He likes me!
Little did she know that he had hearing problem.

even the clouds wept
when the strings of my torn heart
played sorrowful melodies
the kind sun smiled and consoled
rainbow will touch your life too.

Is having freedom,
Doing what you like,
Going where you want.
Every freedom has a price to pay ,
Sometimes loneliness.

Is the one place where you can open up your heart.

Nature is everywhere,
Beautiful, useful and bountiful,
use it with care,
From a bee to a tall tree,
Even life in the sea,
Picturesque  mountains
From where rivers rumble and tumble to valleys, lakes and coastal plains.
Before creating mankind,
God had his needs in mind,
He created Earth with all amenities,
Saw to all our necessities.
What did we do instead,
Man went mad,
In the name of development and technology,
Burnt our forests like an effigy,
Polluted our lakes and rivers,
Global warming caused holes in the ozone layers,
Every nation wants to be super powers,
Why not be good human beings,
Wake up to climate change warnings,
And save our earth,
From a slow death.

For opinions,
Just be you,
Every individual sees you differently.

She is but a tender seed,
Pull away your ****,
Do not sow doubts in her mind,
She is not one of your kind.

Light the way for others .

Instead of I or you
I prefer we
Togetherness,
Sharing is caring.

Death does not have a fixed date with you,
So don't wait to grow old.
1/2/2019.

My colleagues and family expect me to act young,
My mind is okay with it
But my body refuses,
It says,"Act your age."
3/4/2025

Is a heck of a person,
Too much of everything.
She eats too much,
She cries too much,
She laughs too much,
She exercises too much,
She shows too much kindness.
Her too much roots are deep in me,
And will stay there forever.
29/8/2024

I woke up with a start,
Neither my sleep was completed,
Nor my dreams were realized.
Time said only if had some patience,
Patience said only if I had some time.

I love making money,
I don't like overspending it.
My motto is,
"Let every penny do its job".
16/11/2023

We have a beautiful,cosy house,
All the luxuries and amenities I need,
Three adorable children,
But my home is when you are with me and I am in your arms.

Today is Friday,
The day your prayers are answered.
When you go for prayers,
Don't forget to ask Allah for my hand in marriage,
Inshallah with His blessings,
Our parents will agree.

Grief is a tide,
It ebbs and floods,
It never ends,
A matter of heart and soul.
So carry it well,
Balance it,
Hug it.
Let it be a salty tear on your cheek,
A tiny memory in some corner of your heart.
Have Faith,
Grieve it out,
Swallow your anger,
Have no fear,
If possible laugh it away,
Make it your companion,
Then find strength,
To make a path through your grief,
Move forward.

Is about being content and enjoying whatever all you have.
