My husband wakes me up with a hot cup of masala tea,
To rev up my engines,
For the household chores ahead.

Be careful with your tongue,
Somebody may be listening,
They say walls have ears,
Walls have no ears,only cracks,
Anybody can glue their ears to the cracks and hear your conversations.

Is created to repent your sins,
Through trials and tribulations,
Don't complain " why me?"
Value the time you have,
And overcome each situation,
With faith and solutions
Repent and ask for forgiveness.

petrichor hits my senses
nature's pure coccaine.

I did not have any strength,
I could tell him,
I loved him.
So I took the easy way out,
I pretended to hate him.

Whatever you want,
In moderation,
Life is short,
Who knows you will see tomorrow.

Try it
It's enjoyable and gratifying,
As it stimulates the five senses,
Evoking emotions.
The nerve endings in the fingers send messages to the mouth to salivate,
Releasing digestive juices,
And stimulate digestion.
Food is meant to be eaten slowly and eating with hands help with that.
You feel the texture of food with your hands ,
Or can remove unwanted pieces of bone,
Before it reaches your tongue.
As you eat with hands your food directly touches your tongue,
Whilst with a spoon it first touches metal.
Your hands are thoroughly washed by yourself before you seat to eat,
Whilst spoons, knives and forks comes from the kitchen,
Washed by others,
And lying in the drawers.
And it takes many trees to be chopped,
To make chopsticks,
Why use weapons when you have hands to do the job.
Most satisfying and rewarding.

She always said sweet things so people echo the same for.

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.

I am the moon,
That caused solar eclipse on her home,
Brought total darkness in her life.
I snatched from you, your radiating rays of love for her.
She doesn't know I am just a phenomenon,
A nightstand,  gone.

Educate a boy and you educate him only.
Educate a girl and you educate the whole family for she is the homemaker.

Is one of the ways of fighting poverty.

festival of sacrifice
happy eid to all.

No-one in our community celebrates Eid alone,
We gather in masjid for Eid prayers,
After majlis we greet each other
HAPPY EID MUBRAK
Then we have a hearty  breakfast in a sitting of eight people around a big steel plate(thal),
With variety of dishes and hot piping tea,
We start with vermicelli sevkhurmo,
A must for Eid ul fitr,
The rich and the poor celebrate as one.  
This Eid I decided to give a personal touch,
I didn't send posts of Eid Mubarak,
Instead when I received Eid Mubarak posts,
I replied with emojis and love and thank you stickers,
Adding wishes like:
You are in my prayers,
Thank you for sharing your happiness with me,
You mean a lot to me.

Namaz have been prayed,
Duas have have been said,
Sev khurma and biryani is ready,
Just go slow and steady.
Make the most of this joyous day I request,
I wish you and your family all the best,
On this Eid Day

Ramadan comes with lots of prayers,
Fasting and doing charity,
With the fragrance of heaven,
Which still lingers in our mind,
To Allah alone, we turn our hopes and intentions.
Ramadan does not leave empty handed,
It leaves with a golden handshake in the name of
EID UL FITR.
To celebrate with family and friends,
Reaching out our hearts,
Extending happiness,
Sewing relationships.
What better than a sweet dish
Sev khurmo (vermicelle cooked in milk with raisins almonds and pistachios ),
To hail in oneness,
Joy and prosperity.
Happy Eid Mubarak
To all on Hello Poetry.

One, Two,three, four,five,six,
Six was in a fix,
It ran away,
Five refused to play.
Two ,three and four,
Shut the door,
Called mummy  on the phone,
One said,"I'm alone,
Everyone's  gone.
Why did six flee?
It was because you see,
Seven EIGHT nine.

She was the epitome of simplicity,
A key to elegance.
It was her style,
Her signature on what she wore.
Her own style she picked from fashion,
Cause fashion fades quickly,
Style remains forever,
It represents quality.
The colours she wore were those that looked good on her.
She dressed not to be noticed,
But, she dressed to be remembered.
It gave her confidence,
Boosted  her personality.
Promoted modesty, beauty,
And above all elegance.

Do not be embarrassed of who you are,
You are a creation of Allah,
And He is never wrong.

I raged with fury,
I trembled with shame wishing to be buried,
I had turned crimson,
Tears brimmed from my eyes,
Flooded down my cheeks.
My husband hid behind the guests,
The guests stared aghast,
My mother-in-law slumped on the sofa fast,
My sixteen year old daughter giggled,
My son guffawed,Dr.Do Little,
Me,a centre stage!
Because our newly employed
houseboy from the village,
Copied ditto my husband,
Out of nowhere he appeared like a magic wand,
Courtesied with a gallant swoon,
Saying,"Darling, my **** moon!
Will you have something
To make you more refreshing."

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

My husband and I had a  verbal fight,
He thought he was right,
But, as usual I was the one,
Who won.
Annoyed, he told me to learn to embrace my mistakes,
I  laughed and said,"For Godsake,"
And hugged him tightly,
First mistake marrying you Mr.Mighty.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning,
Mum had gone for the weekend to see grandma,
Only dad and us were at home.
We decided to go out,
Dad wanted to see a movie,
We wanted to go to the football match,
Dad and I had an argument,
For once I was right,
The ratings for the movie were not good,
"Dad at least try to embrace your mistakes."
He started crying,
I got tensed,
I had never seen him crying,
He took us in his arms and embraced us tightly,

Tears come from the heart,
Let them fall and cleanse the storm in your heart, your eyes too.
Anger comes from the brain,
In that time Satan takes over,
Learn to master it.
And laughter is the music of the soul,
A healing vacation.

Sometimes when words refuse to come out,
I pen all my emotions in my poems.

All my emotions......
spectrum of lovely colours,
Gray was prominent.

Step into someone else's shoes,
Feel,hear and see his echoes.

moon and stars lonely,
no lovers to romance with
hark the quarantine.

a feeling of hollowness
going our own ways.

God placed on this earth precious minerals,oil gas,
Take as much as you want,
Nature with means for you to survive the way you want,
Gave you brain to go to the moon,
Scout the universe with latest technology,
Made men into trillionaires.
billionaires and millionaires,
With complete freedom,
Without any security,
But when HE calls you to HIM,
You go empty-handed.

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

The  candle wick asked the candle,"When I am burning why are you melting?"
The candle replied,"When I have given you a place in my heart and I see you disappear surely tears would fall."

When everything fails and death comes,
Count it as prosperity.

Then there were three,
And they all lived happily ever after.

Mine ended the day you left me.

Love your enemies  the most,
It will keep them on edge thinking you are up to something.
30/5/2019.

Your worst enemy is your
               ANGER
Never allow it to take over you.

Although you threw me out of  your life,
You discarded me from your thoughts,
You squeezed me out of your soul,
But I, still rule your heart,
I am engraved in  it.
From all your  beats of the heart,
One beat is mine,
From all your breaths one breath is mine,
If  that one breath will stop death will be mine.

Every moment,
It may never come again,
That makes life sweet.

Now,
This moment,
Que sera sera,
The next moments are not to be seen.

Be happy,
Don't be ******,******, ******,
****** makes you snappy,
Snappy snatches away all the trace
Of the glow on your  face.
Be joyful,
Don't be mournful, mournful, mournful,
Tears falling bucketful,
People will say,"Look at her,so woeful.
Be confident,
Don't be diffident,diffident,diffident,
Diffident makes you immature,
Gives you a mousy  nature.
Always cheer,
Never sneer,sneer,sneer,
People away from you will veer,
You will be left alone dear.
Laughter is the best medicine,
It boosts your adrenaline,
Many friends you will win.
Laughter is infectious,
It is so contagious,  
Happiness will be rampant,
That no sorrow can dampen.

When worries stop to bother you,
Joy takes its place,
You encounter miraculous
coincidences.

My mind never liked you,
But,my heart would not listen,
It loved you,
Today it said"Enough, no more of you and removed your disk space.

When you think of  only today after you wake up,
Feeling blessed for what you have,
And go to bed content,
We realize how much little we need,
And how very much we actually have.

I am enough,
What I have is enough,
I have enough hair to cover my head,
So  I shaved,
No hassle for hair styles.
I have more than enough body mass,
I am in the obese class,
Diet and fashion are not my desserts.
I have enough I.Q to run my home,
Tutor my children some,
I have the portfolio of Minister
of  Finance and and Home Affairs.
I am an open book,
I have enough charm and looks,
To make people feel at ease with me.
I have enough *** appeal,
Ecstasy  and joy I feel,
Proof,my husband has not left me.
I have enough love to give away,
I am kind, they say,
Happy and with enough I want to stay.

some tears in my eyes
saw him flirt with other girls
was i not enough.

My heart is green,
We set out together to court her,
She fell in love with you.

Do not envy envy,
If you envy envy, envy will erode you.
Envy is to man what rust is to iron.
