My true love was balm
on his wounded broken heart
he healed and left me.

Undress me if you wanna have me.

The old Banyan trees
with their ariel prop roots
hold sages secrets.

A woman without children is like a tree without fruits.

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..?

When my phone battery is at 3%
panic sets in ,
This is how I react.
"Please love don't die,
Nothing will happen to you,
I won't let anything happen to you,
Hold on,
Don't close your eyes.
20/1/2021

Like a tree,
Standing tall and strong,
In all its simplicity,
With deep roots to face any storm.
Know your worth,
Embracing life with open arms
And be as happy as you can be just being you.

Though I may be nothing in the eyes of people,
I strive hard to be something in the eyes of Allah.

Light the way for others .

standing on the shoreline
gentle waves hug my ankles
the moon smiles at me.

a deserted beach
littered with storm's new treasures
washed up body too.
24/5/2019

As I stepped on the beach,the sand as warm as can be
The ocean beckoned me,
It's blue water shimmering,
The seagulls overhead screaming,
A fisherman's boat buoyed up and down, alone,
Come sail in me son.
Tempting, I went into the ocean,
At first with caution,
The wind in my face,
A wave knocks me down in a haze.
I swim underneath it and onto the boat ,
It is hot,
I dive , swim , and play,
I taste the sea's salty spray,
Run back to the golden sand,
Dig holes, build sand castles with my hands,
I am free, free as a bird,
Without a care in the world.

on the sandy beach
the waves whispered to the shore
tired of hugging you
19/5/2019

i strung a hammock
betwixt two coconut trees
the moon winked at me.

granp's ate beans today,
got up slowly from his chair,
could not stop farting.

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

I had two mums,
My mum and my dad without a beard,
Then, he gifted himself a beard,
Now he looks beardsome awesome.

I can't remember,
I can't understand,
I don't have concept of things,
My mind is leaking.
Don't leave me,please,
Give me a kiss on the cheek,
Hold my hand.
I am sick, sad and tired,
Be patient with me,
Don't think I am giving you a hard time,
I am having a hard time.
Keep me away from crowds and noises,
I hate them.
I may not answer,
I may be abrupt,
Don't take it to heart,
Still talk to me.
Don't lecture or argue,
My mind hurts,
Instead agree.
I am a lonely soul,
Give me a hint of kindness.
14/11/2019

Let go of people who don't wish to hold on to you,
Be firm, strong and deep rooted,
And weather any storm that comes your way.

I born with first breath,
I die with last breath
In between is tempo to the piece called "LIFE"

She was the handwritten masterpiece  of God,
Every head turned when she entered a room,
Most heartbreaking  was her innocence,
That made one yearn to protect her.

My dad married a beautiful model,
Every morning she looks into the mirror and says,"I am beautiful."
Really?
What about from inside.
9/6//2019.

When she entered the room,
All eyes were on her,
She had eyes only for me.
.
.
.
.
.
She was my wife,
And I had her credit card.
27/9/2023

Beautiful is just a set of words of the alphabet,
Strung together like a diamond necklace,
Instead, be adventurous, crazy and amazing,
So men want to be with you and enjoy your company,
Not just have you.
28/6/2019

Perched on a petal,
Busy ******* the nectar,
Caught in a boy's net.

Beautiful rain,precious rain,
Silver drops to add colour to nature,
Heavenly life line for the parched soil.
Nobody minds, neither the bird nor the tree,
All are happy,
Me too.
I run out in the rain,
I hear the leaves drinking the liquid drops,
It clatters on the rooftops,
Pitter patters on window panes,
Gushes out of the overflowing spouts,
Roars down the gutters.
I breathe the blessed rain,
As it falls on me,
Kisses me,
Drums on my head with its pearly drops,
Sings a sweet song to me,
As I twirl and dance in the rain.

you are beautiful
your heart is more beautiful
that's why I love you.
1/11/2019

foul is your beauty
that breaks fragile hearts to shards
mine is of iron.
13/4/2019

Is where the make-up is,
Start with the lipstick,
And may your day be as flawless as your make-up.
11/4/2021

flashes of colours
as butterflies and flowers
romance together.

flowers dry
leaves fall of
an amazing potpourri.
14/4/2019.

Get in touch with nature,
Behold its beauty in your heart,
Listen in silence.
The rustling leaves dance to the tune,
The birds join the symphony,
Singing their songs,
Giving hope to the silent woods.
Take a walk and find pleasure in the path less wood
Rabbits tracks leading to everywhere,
Crackling of dry leaves beneath your feet,
Tall trees whispering;a story to tell,
Follow a grumbling,rumbling river,
Running past rocks, leaves and twigs,
And find grace as it cascades into a waterfall.
Climb a mountain and get its good tidings
Nature's peace will flow into you,
Its peak hidden in clouds and mist,
Enjoy the air,
Behold the view.
And if want sit calmly beside a lake,
Fishing or reflecting,
Find the surrounding beauty in its reflection.
Not to forget to smell the sea,
And hear the music in its roar,
The crashing waves that kiss the shoreline again and again.
Lastly feel the sky,
Romanticize with the moon,
Waltz with the stars,
Let your spirits fly,
For there is beauty in nature everywhere.
30/7/2021

Beauty from within is greater,
To be slim share your food with the hungry,
For a glowing skin spread happiness.
20/3/2020

When a woman ignores you and holds her silence,
Know she is hurt.
20/9/2022.

Open schools,
Open places of work,
Open gyms and parks,
Open shops,
But,do not open bars and clubs
Covid has come to change your life for better,
For a wise man a gesture is enough to get the point.
11/5/2020

Be cool mum,
Don't stress,
Don't rush,
Here, make your self a cup of tea,
Have some biscuits and muffins too,
You love them.
Don't worry,
What's the hurry,
The ***** dishes can wait,
Laundry and also vacuuming,
Nicely, gently slow down.
Come mum sit with me for a while,
Hold my hand,
Play with me,
Let's go for a walk,
Watch me jump in the puddles with glee.
Ask me about my day,
Let's spend some cherish moments together,
Before you know my childhood will be gone.
So mum slow down,
Have a bit of fun too,
Work will never end.
10/2/2020

She was a bee,
Her words,like nectar pouring
from her lips,
Her sting was worst.

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.
16/10/2024

We had black tea,
Because we could not afford milk,
We could only have one meal a day,
The rice, chapattis, curry and pickles all mixed together so it would be enough for seven mouths.
Now, I see people  have black or green tea and one healthy meal,
Either they are on diet or to maintain health.
20/10/2024

Children were to be seen and not heard,
Now parents should be seen but not heard,
Our thinking is old fashioned.
16/6/2021

You will always be busy,
Busy schedules,
Busy with work,
Busy making money,
There is no end,
But, God may take those who love you and patiently yearn for you to visit them.
Who knows when?
Find time.

It was I, I, I,.........
Me, me, Me.........
All the time.
Now, it is he, he , he.........
Him, him, only him.........
With every beat of the heart.
That is LOVE!

I ate hot meals,
I brushed my teeth day and night,
I spent long hours on the mobile
with friends,
I wore well laundered clothings,
Not a single crease or a stain on them,
Before motherhood.
My home was ***** and span,
No stumbling on scattered toys,
No ***** window panes,
No tiny hands holding my skirts,
No one  eagerly waiting for me on the doorsteps,
No spits,pukes, pees or poos to clean,
No teared  eyes to wipe,
No tiny bundle to hold in my arms,
Getting love,warmth and satisfaction in return,
Before motherhood.
I was in control of myself,
Of my mind and thoughts,
Caretaker of my own body,
Spending hours to enhance my beauty,
To maintain grace and elegance,
Before motherhood.
Now I am a mum,
I don't mind if my hair is disheveled,
My house is a bit messy,
I am exhausted,
For the reward of a hug, a kiss
and those endearing words,"I
love you mum,you are the bestest." completes me.

Ask yourself,
After death where are you going.
14/12/2023

Remember these four things:
God is watching,
The angels are writing,
Death is inevitable,
You are only in transit here.
24/12/2020

Never mistreat a beggar,
When you give him alms,
He prays for you with gratitude,
Allah doubles what you have given.
Charity increases wealth.
23/3/2019

Yesterday I gave a beggar a plate full of rice,chappati and a bowl of curry.
The next day  the smarty came and handed me a book called
"How to Cook."

Last Sunday my friends and I decided to go and see a movie,
We were at the Bus Stop when a beggar passed asking  pitifully for alms,
We and others at the stop all gave him money as we thought fit,
While we waited for the bus to come,
He called a taxi and went away.
27/2/2019

In the whole wide world,
I begged God for you,
And it was you I could not have...

Death is the beginning of something more beautiful.
          Hereafter Life

Dad asked me to be good and behave,
I am much better than those
in my imagination  that was fed by fairy and folk tales.......
Tarzan ran naked in the jungle,
At least I am dressed.
Cinderella  came home after midnight,
I have curfew hours till eight p.m
Snow white lived with seven strange men,
I am allowed night out once in a while- only girls.
Pinocchio  told lies,
If I do I am grounded with no pocket money.
Goldilocks finished the baby bear's porridge without asking,
Tried once, went to bed without dinner.
Alladin was a thief,
Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos.
Batman drove 200 miles per hour,
All of them were heroes leading
exciting lives,
And If I play pranks I am told to behave!
Too much good behaviour and respect will end up me being afraid to edge on the highway.
