My Feelings
Salmabanu Hatim Jul 2018
They are there,
Wherever I go, anywhere,
Perceived by touch,
Too little, too much.
Intuitions,
And body sensations.
I shake, I tremble,
With different emotions ,I amble,
They make me happy or sad,
Content or bad.
They scare me,
Comfort and motivate me.
Sometimes I hide them deep inside me,
Where the eyes can't see,
But the heart knows,
When unable to hold,out it draws.
They are all around me,
Waves upon waves as in a sea,
They  just come,
My feelings, but I choose to only surf some.

Dad
Dad
In the delivery room,
He took me in his arms
I felt the crisp Bank bills in his shirt pocket,
jingle of coins in his pant pocket
I knew it,
This man was my ATM card.
I snuggled close to him
Gave him a huge smile.

Allah is the Master
Salmabanu Hatim Nov 2022

At birth given a menu card,

My Love
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2018
My love is not a ****,
A nuisance  needed to be pulled out,
My love is not a flower,
That blooms and wilts.
My love is not the sun,
That gives during daytime light.
My love is not the moon,
That glows in phases at night.
My love is not the stars ,
That twinkle from afar.
My love is from my soul,
Pure as gold,
Strong as an ox,
For eternity,
For reasons you will never dream in your lifetime,
My love is each beat of my heart,
Each breath I take,
Every drop of blood that flows inside me,
The tears that stain my cheeks.
My love has no measure,
My love for you is more than you deserve,
More than what I am capable of.

Do not worry worry,
If you worry worry,

Remember,responsibilities and risks raises you to the rostrum.
Slow and steady swivels  to success.

I Had To Let You Go
Salmabanu Hatim Apr 2018
You were my sunshine,
To sustain me with energy,
You were my cluster of stars,
To give me solace,
You were my moonlight,
To romance and make love.
You were the last piece of my jigsaw puzzle,
It fitted perfectly.
But, I was shattered,
My heart tore to pieces,
The wind swept away my joy with the rubble.
I had to let you go!
You left me with no choice,
My family needed me more.

Salmabanu Hatim Dec 2022
Prayers is talking to Allah,
After prayers you can beseech for anything you want or need,
I asked for a Ferrari,
He gave me a second hand Peugeot,
And made me a car mechanic.
I asked for a beautiful model like wife,
He gave me a wife with a beautiful soul plus a good cook,
Who made my house into a home.
Now I appreciate the beauties on T.V. with my wife.

My Shadows
Salmabanu Hatim Apr 2018
Young and innocent,
I played hide and seek
with my shadows,
I was happy.

He cast his shadows over mine,
Forced me to live under his,
I became sad and timid,

I took courage to jump over his,
I conquered my fears,
I am free at last.
To be with my shadows,
My soul mates.

Limerick
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2018
There was a handsome actor from India,
He dreamt he was stalked by the media,
He woke up suddenly that night,
He was in terrible fright,
He wondered who gave the media the idea!
