Deeply,
But not the way I wanted,
Then I realised my expectations were selfish,
And his love was simple and straight from the heart.

It is the notion that comes from the soul,
Consolidates in the heart,
Emerges from our body as action.
Authentic  and with goodwill it is blessed,
False and with ill will it is cursed.

I fell in love with a sweet tongued girl in my class,
I was crazy about the lass.
I spent all my pocket money and even my savings on her,
I was warned about her by my brother.
I came to my senses,
I opened my eyes,
When she sought better pastures,
I was left with an empty pocket,
Hungry stomach during break,
And a broken heart.

All mothers take risks giving birth to us,
But we forget that.
23/10/2021

A mother can never abandon her son,
No matter what,
But a wife can divorce a husband if things don't go well.

I sat at my computer,
I looked out of the window later,
I saw the moon waltzing in the dark sky,
I wondered why?
It winked and smiled,
Come, dance with me for a little while,
So twice I pressed the space bar,
Nothing happened so far.
7/2/2019.

I would not love or trust a human,
Inspite of giving him
means to live,
Food, rain and oxygen,
He cuts me down to make his paper, furniture and charcoal,
Then he complains about climate change.

Be a slave of your anger,
Be the master.

Eight letters,
Three words,

I love you

I didn't know its worth,
Till I met you.

As I gazed at the ocean before me
I felt it remove all my bad moods.
And further I saw the waves pounding against the rocks,
Sensed my worries ebbing away slowly.
A smile lightened my face,
Peace and calm blanketed my soul.
The grainy sand beneath me made me realize life is after all not a smooth journey.

They say the world is coming to an end,
Mine ended the day you left me.

You are reading books,
You are absorbing the opinions and perspectives of others,
So you must learn to think for yourself,
And gather what's best for you.

I read a book,
On the first page in bold was written:
COME LET US UNDERSTAND WHAT IS LOVE.
I came to the last page,
It ended with:
Nobody really understands what is love,
If you understand what is love,
IT IS NOT LOVE.
I am still wondering........

My husband calls me hisliquorice
Only he and my children like me in our family,
The others are wary of me,
Because I have no tolerance for drama or fake people.

Pride and ego in your misunderstandings
The distance will grow and be parallel,
Bitterness will fill the gap.
27/5/2025

A hope to fill up the emptiness,
a relief,
a longing for something,
a trap,
an obsessive  behaviour,
creates an altered state of consciousness,
toxic,

Her long nose always comes between our lips.

Is like cancer,
If you don't treat it immediately,
Like cancer cells it multiplies,
And becomes mal8gnant,
Eventually it d3stroys you.

Before I go to sleep,
I beg Allah to let me see the new dawn,
To widen my grave after I die.

on Valentine's Day
blushing, old hubby presents wife
with a pretty nighty.

If gloom is a ball of dark cloud,
Then laughter is a flash of lightning
That pierces through the cloud,
And brightens it.

Breathe in to count of  four,
Hold breath to count of seven,
Breathe  out to count of eight.
Good you are alive,
Wanna no worry,
Thumbs up 👆 💕

A single drop of tear whilst praying Allah can change your luck.

You don't need to exercise,
Your mouth does it for you.

Why why you chose him?
And give me sleepless nights.

He loved me,
But his actions showed otherwise,
He only wanted me.

A veil with a unique touch,
A dressing that sets you apart,
Not a hijab, niqab or burqa that requires face covering.
Rida is a two piece covering,
Worn only by Bohora women,
A fashion created to interpret identity.
It is in exotic or subtle colours,
Exquisitely embroidered or painted ,
Embossing the dynamite art work of nature and flora on fabric.
A rida has a pleated long skirt like a Ghagra,
Paired with a tunic that looks like a poncho called a pardi
A tea cosy walking on a road
Bohoras are a sect of shias,
And rida identifies us as a community  from other Muslim enclaves,
It reflects our culture,
And speaks about our lifestyle.
I wear a rida,
It liberates me to know who I am,
As perceived Dress how you
want to be addressed

So I did,
All my neighbours' wives,
I ended up in hospital.

Scatter smiles
And win hearts
15/10/2021

I don't  want you in a chapter
of my life,
I want you in all the pages of my
life,
With a happy ending.

We need a Permanent
Family,
Home,
Lifestyle,
Job,
Income,
Relationships..­......
Why?
When Life is temporary.

There is laughter in nature,
The gurgling of streams,
The singing of the birds,
The rustling of the leaves,
The radiant Sun,
The colourful rainbow,
The blossoming of flowers,
The early morning dew that refreshes the soul,
The pitter patter of raindrops
The gentle sway of the breeze
The chuckle of the dolphins,
The giggles of the rats,
The pants of dogs.
And laughter in us,
In the sharing of pleasures,
In the sweetness of friendship,
Bonding of two souls,
Laughter is the best medicine,
Let us laugh with others not at others.

Was supposed to be an arranged marriage
When he came to see me,
Everything changed when our eyes met.
My heart was racing,
His too,
Both chorused "Yes"
Game over
Our arranged marriage turned into a love marriage.

That's me,
I try to grow in places people
would never think I could,
To some I am a ****,
To others a wish,
But I can heal too.

I licked his sugar-coated heart,
I found the inside rotten and empty.

Makes me happy,
Relaxes me,
Helps me to sleep better,
Brings order to my chaotic thoughts,
Enhances my visualisation,
Most importantly boosts my mental health.

What every woman wants on her birthday,

Not the Pyramids of Egypt nor The Taj Mahal,
But
To touch and feel,
To hear,
To see
To smell
To taste
Laughter
And above all LOVE
18/1/2021

I miss you so much,
I miss you day and night,
I miss you whilst sitting and standing,
I miss you whilst eating and sleeping.
Tears swell in my eyes as I see  your reflection where ever I turn,
And whatever I touch.
The image of you is embedded in my heart ,
Never to be forgotten.
My friend my dearest friend
Where are you?
I am so worried and tensed,
I have even listed you as missing with the police.
How long will you hide?
Running away with my wife,
car and money.
22/10/2023

When one door in your life closes,
No losses,
Move on,
Every action has a reason.
There is also a back-door,
Perhaps, with opportunities  more.
So don't despair,
Everybody  gets their fair share,
May be yours with golden opportune,
A lottery or a fortune.

You stop breathing and moving
But life continues as your soul transcends to the Hereafter.

Or..........

Chinese broken vase
a wilted rose speaks sadly
of a jilted love.
21/11/2021

Her single  tear on the edge of her eyelid,
Full of pain and sadness,
Told him all about her suppressed emotions,
As his mother complained about her,
He listened silently to the barrage.
This time he took her side,
He gently took her hand and whispered,
"I believe and support you."
16/5/2025

Dust blew,
It flew,
Into my eyes,
Out burst my cries.
In my heart first,
I put his trust,
He broke it,
Bit by bit.
Both brought tears,
Caught me unawares.
