Your mind,
And you will heal your heart.

Changed after marriage,
My daughter-in-law made me the happiest person on earth.
My son learned to brush his teeth every night before bed,
Take a bath often,
Change his briefs everyday,
Sort and take out the garbage bins,
Mow the lawn,
Also learned to help his wife around the house,
Made morning tea.
Simple magic,
HE WAS IN LOVE,
And love is blind.

For what you have,
A man with no feet,
Would even be happy with bare feet.

Knows it has to be filled,
An empty brain is unaware of it.

Such powerful words,
If Allah is willing
From a casual meeting to a major event Allah decides what is best for you,
See me tomorrow,
Inshallah
Hope we can finish the project
within few weeks,
Inshallah

being in your love
is like licking a lolly
messy but sweet.

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

frogs hop and splash in the rain
their skin quench their  thirst.

Age does not control my life,
I am still full of life,
But disability has slowed me down.

I had two mums,
My mum and my dad without a beard,
Then, he gifted himself a beard,
Now he looks beardsome awesome.

Two minutes of your love in my life is enough for me,
A minute of your laughter
and a minute of your happiness is enough for me.
This world recognizes me or not does not matter,
But, if your eyes remember me it is enough for me.

The caterpillar never imagined that his last day in the cocoon
would be the beginning of a new beautiful life with wings to be free at last.

I am in love,
At last I am awake.

He was a talented artist,
Midas Touch,
A gift from God.
People appreciated his work,
Famous people sought his paintings,
He became famous and rich.
Ego and conceit became his friends,
That was his downfall.

You are sugar in my tea
and honey on my pancakes.

Now that I live alone,
I find aloneness is better than fake company,
Silence is better than unnecessary drama

For the rich TIME HAS VALUE,
Every seconds count to make millions.
For the poor TIME HAS NO VALUE,
He slogs the whole day for pittance.

When girls were shy and timid,
Prim and proper,
With a stiff upper lip,
Cook like their mother's,
Nowadays they drink like their fathers.

Never seek attention,
But always give your 100% attention to your loved ones.

I fell in love with him,
Cause the way he laughed,
That's what I needed in my life,
Instant therapy.

Optimism that draws good things and people to you.

For your family,
Enjoy the beautiful moments with them,
For the work we do can never be finished.
Your children will grow up and lead their own life,
Even your dear ones may no longer be with you.

Ask yourself,
After death where are you going.

Life is tranquil,there is beauty everywhere,in every moment,
And my heart is filled with your love and care.
Family and friends,
I sit on the patio,
Scribbling on a piece of paper,
All the exciting and joyous moments we shared,
The sun smiling in agreement.
Like a warm breeze,
All I know is the help and kindness you have shown me.
My world is full of happiness,
All of you in my life is the meaning of my existence.
I wish to write a song about us,
And your chorus would be my melody.
I wish to paint a picture on a large canvas,
And my life spent with you lovely people would be my theme.
Happy Valentine's  Day.

My mind wants me to let go of him,
He is a cheat,
But, my heart is stubborn,
It still loves him.

Birth
In between enjoy or complain
Death.

"The Old Man And  The  Sea" by
Ernest Hemingway  is a great reflection on patience and endurance.
It lessens all my problems and makes my life easier.

He raged,
He bellowed,
He yelled,
I kept quiet.
Once again, he ranted,
Anger he vented,
He berated,
From me not a sound,
My silence was profound,
More eloquent,
Than my response.

During communalism
the people shared equally what they produced,
During lockdown we share equally what we get.
Sharing is caring.

one thing certain
you will always be my friend

Once a wise sage told me,
" Pen down your experiences,
feelings, emotions and encounters on paper.
That would be the greatest gift you can gift your generation."
That was a push for me to write poetry

Stop working for money,
Work on creating what will make you money.

Fall,
Break,
Fail,
That's not the end.
Rise,

Heal,
Be yourself and move on

Of your body are your eyes,
They shine bright and dim
As you go through different emotions and feelings.

Worries grow faster than grass.

After you fall in love,
Your life is in 3D.

Don't delve too much into the past,
It's a library only for reference and learning.

He proposed first with two roses,
He gave first rose with a note,
I Love you and will do so for the rest of my life,
He gave a second rose,
To my best friend.
Then he knelt down with a diamond ring,
*Will you marry me

I wanted coffee,
He wanted ***.
We compromised,
He made coffee,
We had coffee and ***.

Eat fish,
Fish makes brain,
Brain makes money,
Money buys fish.

Her smile for my best friend
was my pain.

Write anything,
A word,
A phrase,
A clause,
May be a sentence.
Write a song,
A story,
A poem.
Write about your inner thoughts,
Your emotions,
Your feelings.
But best would be if you will write your WILL in my name.
21/2/2021

My friend was stubborn,
There was a major misunderstanding.
Everybody knew I was right,
She would not budge,
So I gave in,
I turned left.
But I said,"If I am wrong
Forgive me,
If you feel you are wrong,
Ask Allah to forgive you."

I live simply,
Living simply is not being poor,
It's being authentic,
True to yourself,
Writing your own scripts.
I dress simply,
But my clothes are cut well and fitted well,
That shows grace and elegance.
Though  I am not pretty,
I carry a childlike smile and humility.
Sometimes people think I am nobody,
And want me to be like everybody,
They can sometimes be rude,
But I am content,
With what I am and what I have.

When I fell in love again,
I dug a small grave in my heart,
I buried all his flaws,
I will just go wherever my love takes me.

Teaches us to hope,
That every problem has a  solution.

Be what you want to be,
Not what others want you to be,
But, that was not going to be the case,
The truth I had to face.
I was a normal child,
With mild temperament, not wild,
Good in sports,loved to dance and sing,
Above average results I brought,
The teachers were happy with me being a high honour student,
My parents should be proud, who wouldn't,
But not they,
Only complaints everyday,
For them the grass on the other side was greener,
My cousin's and neighbour's children were much better.
It even extended to my way of living,
That hurt most of my being
My existence,
Was I an object d'art or a puppet  in their presence,
Somebody they yearned me to be,
Somebody they could not be.
To be somebody extraordinary
I cannot be their mould ,
My creator has created me perfect,
The way I want  to be
I am content to be me.
I hope they realise their mistake,
Better for our sake,
I am not their heirloom or property,
I am me and I have come with my own destiny.
