Forget a person
Who is your moon
In your darkness.

A smile costs less than electricity
but it lights up many hearts.

Mount Everest may be the toughest climb,
But the hardest climb in life,
Is to prepare for each steps you have to take,
To reach heaven.

Be kind and merciful to people,
They can be your brothers and  sisters in faith or your equals in humanity.

He came and filled the space between my fingers,
and glued his heart to mine.
We became one.

Less or nothing,
Give of your heart,
That still makes a difference.

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

William makes fruit shake,
William takes pears,
William puts pears in juicer,
William Shakespeare.

Neil arms weak,
Neil goes to gym,
Neil does dumb bells,
Neil Armstrong.

Sleeping is rest for the body,
Speech is rest for the soul,
Silence is rest for the mind.

With arthritis,
And tendency to fall down,
My motto is
"Slow and steady wins the race."

When I cry,
I cascade like Niagara  Falls.
When I smile,
I beam like the Sun,
When I am angry,
I erupt like a roaring volcano.
When I love,
I become crazy and messed up,
I trust easily and care for everyone,
That sometimes lands me in trouble,
But hate or cheat,
It is too much burden for me,
I stay clear of that.

his acts of true love,
crying and laughing with me
thawed my frozen heart

Yesterday is a memory,
Now, today is the reality,
An tomorrow is an imagination.

Please don't fall off
a boat,
a tree,
a ladder,
to sleep,
If you want to fall then,
Fall in LOVE with me.

As a child I lived my life the way my parents wanted,
After marriage the way my husband wanted,
Society wanted.
I was not perfect but I tried my best with my children,
Try my best to adjust,
Living on the opinions of others.
Now, as I am aging I want to live quietly and alone ,
I don't want anyone to judge me the way I live,
Let me be,
Do what I want to do,
Not do everything the doctor says,
Indulge in eating few things not allowed for me,
In limits,
At least my taste buds are happy.

Is my kindness,
And my compassion and humility are my religion.

A zephyr in my sad, troubled life,
And finally I began to open up to him.
191/2023

I searched for my extra teeth and eyes,
Frantically I looked in my drawers,
Nothing,
I searched under the pillows,
Naw!
Under the bedcovers,
Naw!
The teeth cup was empty,
May be I left them in the bathroom,
No, wait a minute,
I had just cleaned my teeth and returned them on the drawer,
Together with my specs.
Where did they go?
That sly old dad has taken them again,
There he was at the table
Happily reading a newspaper and munching breakfast with my props.

Trouble trouble,
Trouble will trouble you.
Offer no resistance,
And it will leave you.

padlocks are to problems
Keys are to open them to find solutions

I don't walk alone,
God walks with me,
One day I asked him,
"Lord you walk with me,
In my good times and bad times,
I only see two pairs of footprints in my good times,
In my very bad,troubled  days you are not there."
"Child, the footprints you see in your troubled days are mine.
During your bad phase I carried you."

dinner is ready
calls out mum to the family
my hungry dog stares.

Will eventually bring out the truth,
And reveal a person's true colours.

Before I was just an address,
Now I am living.

in the dark corner
of the street lovers made love
moon peeped behind clouds.

lovers gaze at moon
winds whispering a haunting tune
two souls full of dreams

Of letting go,
Find the reason why you can't,
Then derive at a solution.

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

Is a blessing,
A release from the cauldron of fire called life.

Lived with an extended family with only one bathroom,
That's how I learned to dance waiting for my turn.

Looks has no charm without
Snow,
Lighted Christmas tree,
Santa,
Christmas Carols,
And Christmas gifts,
Merry Christmas.

Are blank papers,
Innocent and sinless,
My prayers for them,
Let them wake up in the morning,
In Peace
Not in pieces,
A smile on their faces,
Not tears in their eyes,
With family by their side
Not as orphans.
Let them not be scapegoats of our wounds.
Children are a gift,
If you have one child,
You are truly blessed.

Listen to others advices and opinions,
Then do what you think is right.

Is a game of chess,
And we as pawns are being played.

Are big bullies on the playing field pretending not be hurt
But they are gentlemen at heart.

When life comes to a pause,
Reset and continue.

My grave...six by two,
a tiny one bedroom flat,
My last resting place.

I would rather die a withered rose with its thorn intact,
Kept between my children's diaries as a beautiful memory,
It's thorn reminding them of a mother's fragrance.
Not as petals scattered over my grave,
Blown away by the wind.

Were my everthing,
Now he has become my poems.

Problems are solved,
If you learn to say no.

Your mind,
And you will heal your heart.

Treat feelings as your guests
They come and go,
Do your best,
And move on.

To drown in your tears,
But you always hide them with a fake smile.

I  stand tall,
Contorted,
But beautiful,
My shape weird,
But wise as an owl.
My limbs outstreched,
My roots deep,
I embrace the sky and the earth,
I have weathered many seasons,
For many reasons,
SPRING is my rebirth,
I bloom and bring  colour,
SUMMER I  am evergreen,
Give shade from the fiery sun,
AUTUMN I am dressed in a colourful gown,
Of gold, green, purple and brown,
Soon my leaves fall,
Dry and under people's feet they crackle.
WINTER I stand naked,
Snowflakes come to my aid,
They veil me from tip to toe,
A blanket of snow.
I am one of the ecosystem,
Life on earth with me rhyme and rhythm.

being in your love
is like licking a lolly
messy but sweet.
28/2/2021

On lips is not proof of love,
But want of desire,
And expectations.
