The most of the moment,
Life is not permanent.

Before T.V. mobiles and computers,
And sometimes no electricity,
After a day's hard work people retired early,
Bonded more,
The outcome was large families,
My grandparents had twenty one sons.
I grew up in one such extended family.
A large loving caring close knit family,
When everything is a havoc in my life,
My family is there for me without flinching.
We never had the need of outside friends,
Together us cousins went on picnics and swimming
Played in alleys marbles, cricket,
Climbed trees,
Went to each other's house,
Argued, fought ,
And even stopped talking to each other at times,
But in the end family is family.
Till today though we are distant apart,
When we meet the close bond is still there,
That also extends to third generation cousins.

In my darkness,
He came as a lamp and showed me light,
Then when I was drowning in sorrow,
He was my lifeboat,
And when I began to heal,
He became my ladder to success.
10/9/2021.

Is my wake-up call,
Of what I should do and not do,
At present,
And in rhe future.

As I walked on the beach,
Wisps of  ocean air .
Stung  my nostrils,
And washed over my lungs,
Its smell was as fresh and pure as my soul.

When your trousers point at me I get a tingling feeling.

God has no smart phones,
No Wi-Fi,
No instagram,
No Facebook,
No Twitter,
Still He has the time to listen and answer my prayers,
He is there when I need him most.
What about you?
One answer,"No time."

Time will tell about your success or failure,
May be your failure is your first step to your success.

Of three things,
Death, income taxes and women,
They come to take what is theirs.

Your everything to anybody,
Not even to your husband,parents or children,
Keep some for yourself.
Cause when you need it they may have given it to some else who matters more in their life.

My heart is tired,
Everyone wants a  piece of it in action.

I am not God,
but she is my prayers.

What is the use of all
Your wealth,
When death is your hostage.

the morning rush hour
the bus conductor finds seat
for the lovely girl.

Truth is like surgery,
It is very painful,
It hurts,
But eventually it heals.

chilly frosty night
your body entwined with mine
for warmth or desire.

The penguin proposed....
to his mate with a pebble,
to be his forever.

I love a big meal,
Big glass of smoothies
Big bottle of coco cola,
And big strong man
3/3/2021

A gush of wind.....
candle spurts,
Baby gurgles.

I love you so much that if death comes I will embrace it first.

The Most crucial step in life is choosing your life partner,
Cause this choice will decide
your future.

Black, white, brown or yellow,
I am every colour,
Every colour is us,
Men or women,
God's creation,
A voice, soul and intelligence.
To live as one,
Walk hand in hand,
With freedom and equality.
Let one and all be,
Free as me,
Free as you,
With no colour boundaries,
As one country, one people, one love.

Silence everywhere,
Rain cries in pain as it hits the hard surface,
No human buffer to fall on.

The Angel of Death is busy,
The Angels are busy collecting souls,
There is chaos in afterlife.
Accountability has gone haywire,
Souls meant for heaven have ended up in hell,
And vice versa.
Plea from above,
Vaccinate as many as you can to curb deaths.
13/2/2021

As my pile of mistakes grow,
So do I to be better and better.

Death never  comes
     without
            a reason.

Will always point out the bitter truth,
She cares.

I saw the clock,
"Tick tock,tock tock,
I had writer's block.
I put my pen down,
Went to town,
Had a hilarious fling,
Came home to hear my daughter sing,
"Baa baa black sheep,
Had dinner and went to a dreamy sleep.
Woke up with my mind crystal clear,
And wrote several poems dear.

Undress me if you wanna have me.

You will not find your true
reflection in a mirror,
But, in your attitude and the
way you talk.

A Festival of the Sacrifice,
Commemorates the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ismail,
As an act of Faith and obedience to God,
When Abraham was about to sacrifice Ismail,
God sent a lamb instead.
Neither the flesh nor the blood of your Sacrifice reaches God,
But it is the strength of your faith and beliefs that reaches Him,
HE in turn on this day forgives your sins.
A happy and prosperous Eid ul Adha.
29/7/2020.

I will try my best to open the door of your mind for you,
To enter or not depends on you.

The day you deserted me,
I have locked the door of my heart

Nothing is more beautiful,
And peaceful,
Than mother nature's glory,
You must have read in a story.
Nature lovers trekking up the mountains,
With it's cascading fountains,
And gurgling rivers meandering happily,
Over rocks and finally into lakes and the sea safely.
In the forest tall trees vye for a cup of sunshine,
Too the creepers and vines,
Whilst the leaves sing their song in the whispering breeze,
Accompanied by an orchestra of a snake hiss,
A monkey's chatter, buzz of bees,
Click click of butterflies,
As they hover from flower to flower,
Each bloom brings to the soul hope and laughter.
And as seasons  change one may,
Glimpse nature's beauty in new ways.
Spring is a water colour,
Shaking off winter's slumber,
New beginnings,
Rebirth and plants blooming.
Autumn is a grand finale,
Bliss, the last smile,
As gold, red and auburn leaves fly, flutter and fall.
Appreciate winter's first snowflakes,
Freezing the rivers and lakes,
Draping the naked trees and landscape in white
Glittering in the sunlight.
Summer is fun,
With the ever smiling sun,
Under clear blue skies
To enjoy different outdoor activities,
Relaxing on warm sandy beaches,
Fishing, trekking, swimming,
Time for easy living.

you are beautiful
your heart is more beautiful
that's why I love you.

Our soul is the purest in our body,
Whenever we sin we stain it,
And do injustice to it.

If you want to be successful in life,
First be successful with your family and friends,
By giving them your time, care and love,
So that when your tenure,
As a successful and famous entrepreneur or leader ends,
Your family and friends are there for you to hold your hand and care.
18/2/2023

Is to celebrate with others,
By doing good deeds,
Make your parents and grandparents happy ,
See to their needs ,
Be kind and helpful to your siblings.
On your birthday,
Go out and do charity as per your possibility,
Help the needy and less fortunate.
The smiles and happiness you will scatter,
Will sow thousands of rewards,
For it will make Allah happy.
2/8/2024

That you are gifted to be alive.

Use of too much I is arrogance,
I leads to illness.
Use of We is sharing,
We leads to wellness.

Spare the rod and spoil the child,
Today it is termed as child abuse.
Never hit a child.
Children should be seen not heard,
Now it is one of children's  right-
to be listened to.
if they reply back it is not rude,
They are giving their opinions,
Parents are their worst enemies.
All the neighbour's  children played outside,
Bicycled together,
Today, it is dangerous to play outside,
Paedophiles lurk around corners.
Children drank from the same bottle,
Ate from the same dishes,
Plucked fruits and ate them without washing
Today, bacteria, fungi and virus have taken over their health.
We say today's  children have become smarter,
I say they are more material oriented.

when I zipped my tongue
inner me began to heal
wisdom took over.

I am proud to be yorchid,
I might be cheesy dad,
But you are grate.
You make everything butter,
You are the coolest pop.
I will always remember your sacri-fries,
Thanks for being a fungi (fun guy).
You did a grape job,
Raisin me.
I may be cracked,
But you are an egg- straordinary  dad.
You are one in a melon,
Olive you dad.

Be wary of your words in an empty room or space,
For echoes can never keep a secret.
A reflection of sound that stays for eternity.

Silences you
And is a lesson that makes you grow

Thank you,
Two magic words,
Unselfish and noble terms.
Doubles happiness,
Enriches life,
Creates warmth,
Blossoms and bonds souls
A prayer that says all.
Thank you,
Two magic words,
I said them,
Became a habit,
The magic started happening,
MUM felt appreciated,
I was closer to dad,
Even my siblings and friends.
Selfishness was erased,
The school janitor,
The bus driver,
The shopkeeper,
My neighbours,
Started respecting me,
We created a bond.
Thank you,
Two magic words,
It puts a smile on someone's face,
It gives a sense of well being,
It sweeps you with a feeling of joy,
God opens a new path for you.
Thank you,
Two magic words,
Builds character,
Forms a different attitude,
A new, simple lifestyle,
Changes way of thinking.
These two important words,
"Thank you"
Say it as you would your prayer.

Children were only to be seen and not heard,
Now, parents are to be seen and not heard.
Dad, mum my friends are coming over,
Don't embrass me infront of them.

Completes a sentence,
But several more dots for you to complete the sentence,
Or start a new beginning,
This is your opportunity,
Make your beginning better than before.
