Our starving children,
0nly have tears in their eyes,
Protruding ribs,
Distended hungry bellies,
Cry and moan,unable to sing.

2.UNIQUE LOVE

Four small diamond hearts,
On a pretty, platinum ring,
Our beautiful love,
Like the glitter of stars,
Intense, multifaceted.

A New Year,a new beginning,
What's in store,awaiting,
365 blank pages,
To be filled with new strategies.
Forget the past,time to move on,
Throw in a handful of resolutions.
Dear God, present us with a perfect New Year's Gift,
From war we must drift,
All bad politicians You sift,
Climate changes we should heed,
Safety from nature's hazard we need.
Away with weapons of mass destruction,
Unity amongst every nation.
Herald in economic equality,
And do away with poverty.
Please remove our aches, bitterness and sorrows,
Instead,fill them with peace and joy for all tomorrows.
Make this year short and sweet,
Everyday, our needs we are able to meet.
Shower us with plentiful blessings,
So we wake up laughing.
Friends and foes,let us leave every thing behind,
Make amends with good things in mind.

I wish you have
lots of ***,
not get caught,
food you enjoy,
win a lottery,
fulfill your dreams,
no resolutions.
Happy New Year.

The Year of Covid 19,
The Year of Awakening,
Don't go for forbidden fruits,
Make earth a better place.
We are travellers here,
The universe has made many of our dreams come true
And so it will our nightmares.

I wish to take care of
My body: smile more, drink more water and work out,
My mind: cleanse my mind and **** out all negatives,
Home:pay more attention to my home and earth we live in.

I woke up tingling with arousal,
I desired ***,
My lover was gone,
He was married I suppose.

Got an urge to write poetry,
But,every word I tried to write on paper,
Both my thoughts and pen coaxed me to go to sleep,
So I snoozed on.
12/2/2021

Fast asleep,
Moan,
Ah!
Not now,
Moan again,
You had left,
Woke, eyes wide open,
Who was caressing me,
Saw my little brother's pet mouse nibbling my ears.
17/9/2019

The birds in their nests chirrped to signal the males loud and clear
No Mating
While my husband encircled me in his arms,
Whispering sweet nothings.
21/2/2021

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

Big *****.

What appears when babies cry
Big or small *****.

Have your own mindset,
Be yourself
Be humble.

Just returned from the bathroom the fourth time.
2/1/2021.

We were still talking,
Engrossed in our conversation,
That's when I really came to know him.
23/10/2022

My neighbour rang me,
I am going away for a few days,
Life is short,
Leave everthing and let's enjoy ourselves,
My treat.
We went to a hairdresser,
Had a manicure and pedicure,
That day she was different,
Full of life, bubbly and she smiled a lot,
Next she wanted to go shopping,
Not to all the branded shops she usually went,
She wanted to go to a crowded place full of hustle and bustle
So we went to the local market with the stall keepers shouting out their wares,
There were food stalls too,
Catering variety of cuisines
Serving piping hot delicious food,
We had samosas, kebabs and bhajas served with coconut chutney,
And ice cold sugar cane juice.
She loved animals,
So she coaxed me to go with her to the zoo,
She spent some moments at every cage,
Talking lovingly to the animals.
It was almost evening,
We drove to the beach side,
She saw some seniors doing chair exercises and yoga,
She joined them while I looked at them from the car parked close by.
Let's start with breathing exercise called out the instructor,
Breathe in to count of four,
Hold breath to count of seven,
Now slowly breathe out to count of eight.
I saw her slump in the chair,
Seniors gathered around her,
I quickly ran towards her,
She was no more.
11/11/2024

My mobile alarm rang,
Assalatu khairum
Minan naam.
Salah (prayer) is better than sleep,
Wake up,
Hear the Azan calling.
I jumped out of bed,
And got ready to go to Masjid,
Alhamdulillah.

Mum taught her how to bake her own birthday cake.
She decorated it the way she wanted and she was happy.
27/3/2020

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

Take a moment,
Make it perfect for you.

Seven EIGHT poor six
Run away dear five

It goes 99 Thump, 99 Thump,
A centipede with a wooden leg

Life is full of strife,
If you have lost something  in life,
Remember one thing,
What you have lost is nothing,
Compared to what you have gained,
It fills you with profound joys unexplained.
What you don't have is just a dream,
What you have is beyond your dreams,
Hold on to it,
Every little bit.
Your family,your relations and your dignity,
Your dignity is your pride in society,
Your family, your pearls,your precious treasure,
Your relations,your world, has no measure.

Till today I can never forget,
A teenager's ego,
I should have let go.
A bet to make you fall in love with me and then leave you,
The opposite would happen I never knew,
You left me instead heartbroken. 😭💔

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

Thank you Government,
At last I will have mum with me,
And she will have time for me.
25/3/2020

This world here is transitory,
Your every breath a gift,
Your life on loan,
Live it in a such a way that your story is written on golden pages,
Making you eternal.

Don't worry,
It goes on.

She was a dam,
When he made love to her,
The gates opened,
He drowned in her desires.

girl- stop your screaming
only a mouse betwixt your feet
tasty gift for us.

People don't change,
It's either they have lost interest in you,
Or they have found somebody else.
11/2/2020

Love me not only,
Love me and accept me completely,
Don't ask "where" and "why",
Trust me completely.
15/4/2019.

Graciously,
Every age has its own charm.
Infancy,
When you cry,coo and gurgle,
Everyone is smitten over you.
Childhood,
Full of fun and innocence.
Youth,
A package of I know all attitude and don't mess with me.
Middle-age,
Mellowed and wiser,
Old age,
Fair wear and tear clearly seen
Having to use aids and props,
The last chapter of your stories,
Welcome, embrace and enjoy the art of living.

At two boutiques my husband holds my arm tightly,
Distracts and steers me away,
Handbags and shoes.

If you can play on tons of emotions to explore the human soul,then you are an awesome actor.

His actions were like his lies,
all honeyed and hollow.

That was my husband,
He rarely said "I love you,"
But his actions showed what I meant to him.
He was always by my side,
Kind, gentle and reassuring,
Be it a visit to a doctor,
A family feud,
Or hassle with my in-laws.
Though he was not for candlelight dinner,
He took me frequently to dinner, picnic and movies,
But to the ones I enjoyed.
He did all the DIY work around the house,
Before I knew something needed to be repaired it was already done.
After early morning and evening prayers I enjoy reciting Quran, duas and talking to Allah,
So he would help me with sending the children to school,
And bed at night,
Though he never helped with cooking or housework,
He lived for his family,
And when he died,
For me it was as if my computer had crashed and I had to start all over again.
I never knew the house needed so much repair,
Nor so many bills needed to be settled,
Or where to shop for groceries.
19/12/2021

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.
12/8/2020

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,

Your final goodbye was the sharpest knife to pierce my heart.
3/10/2020

She fell in love with his personality,
They got married,
Now she had to live with his character.
The alarm bells rang.

When she looked up,
To admire the stars in the night sky,
I looked at her gawking,
As the moon's magical glow,
Enhanced her beauty.
Pointing at the stars she sighed,
Hugging herself,
The beautiful night sky her muse.
Nodding I sighed and put my arm around her,
My lady love my muse.
