Challenges,
Darkness meets the Light,
Evil gone.

A beard is a man's hijab,
Gives modesty to the way he looks, talks and thinks.

her glowing beauty,
the moon refused to come out
from behind the clouds.

With one look she can send the most intimate message.

We got married,
She was messy,
Unable to cook,
Undisciplined,
Sauntered around the house in nighties,
Never did laundry.
With patience and lots of love I groomed her,
She became a better person,

For another man.

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.

I don't give out my soul in pieces,
I am like morning coffee,
Strong and much needed.

The ball came spinning,
I stepped out and hit hard,cried
the baller"Howzat."

To know more about a woman,
Browse into her handbag.
15/1/2021

I tried to close my eyes,
Cover the mirror,
Keep myself alone,
Then, I realised how deeply I love you,
When I could not take you out from my heart.
28/6/2019.

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.

I was so hungry for his love I even ate his lies
7/5/2019

Is his cheque book.

Always needs a woman,
As a child he follows his mother everywhere,
Till he gets a girlfriend,
Call it love or infatuation,
He chases her showering sweet compliments and gifts,
Focus  on mum lessens.
Then he gets married,
Mama's boy loses his bachelor hood,
His priorities change,
Wife has control over him,
She has the last say,
And he is now wife's man,
No way to escape,
Unless a divorce with a price to pay.

They say Hello Poetry is biased,
Some get lots of reviews,
Some don't although their poetry is as good,
Some poems trend with 6.4k likes and gets a Sun,
Whilst others are overlooked.
I understand you repost a lot of poems and you build a community that gives you many likes and comments,
For me writing poetry is to make me happy or deter from being sad,
Sometimes I write one of the best poems and I get only two likes,
It's okay for me,
NEVER MIND,
The most important thing is writing that poem made me happy,
It satisfied me and made me complete,
Everybody has different style, taste and likes,
But, I try to analyse where I have gone wrong.

caused he still loved her
divorce was the only way
to make her happy.

Don't make a mountain of  your burdens,
Try to climb over the mountain of your burdens.

Since I have fallen in love with you,
You have become my complete love story.

Teenage daughter:Rose buds

Mum: Blooms

Grandma:Hanging baskets.

Happy gardening.

My neighbours are so nosey,
It's frustrating,
But I don't like it if they tell me nothing.

Two lions,
Discuss the hunters,
At water's edge.

Your mistakes,
Learn from them.

Criticism  harvests
enemies.

Life has taught me two things,
To be happy with myself,
Never to expect anything from anyone.

Love can be cruel,
Mine wounded me deeply,
It left scars even time could not heal,
Soon, I learned to live with the pain,
Gradually I forgot to mention his name.

The rose is a beauty,
Colourful,
Fragrant,
For all occasions,
But, it has thorns,
The exotic rose and it's sharp thorns complement each other.

How I ended up in a love triangle,
The fault was not his,
Neither hers,
Nor mine,
We just learned to share what we had.

Spend your life utmost,
Enjoy as much as you can,
Don't try to save it.

From my bedroom window the moon saw it all,
My pleas, my agony and my tears,
How I spent hours on my cell phone crying,
My fears as I paced the floor,
At last the moon whispered,
"Why don't you leave him."
I asked,"Would you let go of the earth?"

By all means delve into your past,
Like you would in a garbage bin,
Throw away all the trash,
Perhaps,you may find something useful to help you in your today or your future.

Blow and make your wish...
the dandelion flowers,
Considered as weeds.

Love,don't look at my status,
Go after my heart,
It is branded.

I lost my heart,
When I fell in love With you.
Thank God I found it in one piece,
When you left me.

A fake smile
Hides deep pain
Shields profuse tears
Flawless public facade.
4/11/2019

My heart is clumsy,
It has two left feet,
It has a way of falling,
As waves rise and fall in the ocean.
Useless words spill from my mouth,
Scattering across the floor.
Let me kiss you,
So I can paint all my feelings for you vividly.
1/11/2020

In this ruined world,
People are tired,
Above all they crave for joy.
So don't serve them your pain,complaints and tears.
Unshackle your soul,
Unchain your grudges and disparity,
And relish in the awesome experiences  life has to offer.
3/1/2021

To be your own self no matter what and accept it as a blessing.

A man's hardship is a prelude to prosperity.

startled by the cry
on grandma's best rocking chair
neighbour's tabby cat.
13/5/2019

My heart is a hurricane,
And yours a drizzle.
Like the bottom of the sea,
You remain calm and quiet,
As I rage and howl.
You, with your  sweetness,
And love in your eyes,
Bring rainbow to my life.

We now realise we only need basics of life like food,clothes,
and shelter,
And others like education and Good Health.
With that we can survive,
So why we spoil our planet..?
17/4/2020

You are there for me,
In my joy,
In my sadness,
In my solace,
Thank you.
16/9/2023

Nearing life's final chapter,
Spent in anguish and banter.
Face wrinkled like a walnut,
Teeth lost to chocolates "Wholenuts."
Age advancing,
Death approaching,
Alarmed, pining.
Delicate,fragile,
Tired,spent,a forced smile,
Uninvited aches in joints,
Body with Vicks Vaporub and oils
anoints.
Thrusting self forward,
Gratitude,hands heavenward.

Bought a new phone
My daughter's gift for Eid,
Put a password to protect my phone.
It's a name my mum lovingly called me,
Everytime I have to swipe my phone,
I have to insert my password,
And that is too frequent,
The outcome is I miss my mother,
Memories of her flood back,
Mum I love you.

Meditation helps me to listen
to my heart and understand it.

dad's a cricketer
my first toy was cricket bat
i chose a football.
17/9/2020.

I can tolerate life with
a bed without a pillow,
bread without jam,
coffee without cream,
but life without you darling I just can't.

People say I should talk to people,
Who enjoy talking.
But I say I should talk to people who enjoy listening to me.

Used in hundreds of recipes,
Blends with many dishes,
But retains its own taste.
It is positive,
Believes in itself,
And knows it's own value.
