Be crazy,
A bit hazy.
With feet bare,
Dance in the rain without a care.
Sing at the top of your voice,
Songs of your choice,
In the shower,
Lyrics and tune don't matter,
It's your own karaoke,
To be weird is okay
Life is short,
One minute alive the next mort,
No replay,
No rewind.

Fall,
Break,
Fail,
That's not the end.
Rise,
Mend,
Heal,
Be yourself and move on

Biology has now become my favourite subject,
I can't get my eyes off my teacher's anatomy.

Let me be your little birdie,
Nestle in your arms,
Lay your eggs,
Look after your nestlings till they learn to fly away,
While you and I sit on the rooftop,
Watching our children make their families.

A notice from God
"You are being transferred to earth."

And if you commit Suicide
"You quit yourself
No compensation whatsoever."

All mothers take risks giving birth to us,
But we forget that.

When you are born,
You cry,
When you are about to die,
You shed a tear from your left eye.
There is a gap between birth and death,
It is called life,
Live it wisely,humanly,
Live it with a smile for others and for you.

On your birthday cake,
Don't count your candles,
Count your blessings.
Blow the candles and say"Amen"
for another fruitful year.

Before:
You blow on a birthday cake Hard, singing"HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Then everybody gets to eat a piece of cake.
Now:
No no no no! I would think twice........

His cruel bitter words wounded me deeply,
He said that he was being honest.

There comes a time when we have nothing or no-one left in our life,
There is no family, father, mother, siblings ,friends or relatives,
Then suddenly,  we realize that it was  only God in this whole world  who held onto us all this time,
Soon we sense that our being alive or not only makes a difference to us,
Not to the world,
Till our act ends and the curtains are drawn.

Black night sky makes the stars more beguiling and poetic,
Black is perfect harmony.

If I don't get married who will I get to blame if things go wrong in my  life.

Angel Of Death:Dear Lord, my job of taking people's  lives is thankless. I will always be blamed for their death.
God: Never my son, there will always be a reason for their death.
Amen.

stole cookies from the pantry

If your dreams are fulfilled,
You are blessed,
If not,
Have patience.

The beach was quiet and deserted as he cleaned debris from the beach,
He saw a priest, a bishop,a cardinal and The Pope strolling towards him, engrossed in their talk,
As they neared to his side he bowed to each one of them and kissed their hands,
The Pope: Your Holiness,
The Cardinal: Your Eminence,
The Bishop:Your Grace,
The Priest:Father,
It was his lucky day.He was blessed.
Then out of the blue he saw an ethereal  beauty come out of the sea in a bikini 36-24-36,
He cried out,"Oh My God!.

For a Muslim
Beauty lies in eyes of a
Believer
Jannat on prayer rug,
Proximity to Allah in Sujood
Peace and happiness after
Salah

I must have done something good in my life,
When in strife,
I try to drown,
Me, the sea disowns,
And the waves throw me back to the shore,
You are needed in the world more.

Before I went to sleep,
I counted my blessings,
For having you,a beautiful family and trusted friends,
Their care and love,
A roof over my head,
All my needs met,
And many of my  wants too.
Then,you had an accident and departed,
So sudden,no hugs no goodbyes.
Grief gripped my soul,
Agony wounded my heart
Nothing made sense.
Night after night tears drenched
my pillow,
Muffled sobs, my eyes swollen.
Remembering  moments with you,
My heart would break anew.
Until one day my priest made me realize,
You were a blessing too,
HIS trust (amanat) he had given me.

Love is a blessing,
And blessings you only get if Allah wishes.

It is not the eyes that is blind,
But, the stubborn heart,
Lack of insight which makes one blind.
9/9/2020

Love is blind,
They are not your eyes that are blind,
It is your heart.

When I am writing poetry,
And lose track of time.
26/4/2022

Gardening,
And listening to soft music on your mobile.
Washing few dishes,
And listening to the splash of water,
The laughter of your child playing in his playpen.
Cutting grass,
The wrrrr wrrrr of your lawn mower like a lullaby in your ears,
While the pigeon coos in the tree
with its nestling.
Are as eternal,
As beautiful,
As writing poetry.
20/2/2021

Block the mind,
Now feel,
Feel all the emotions,
Love,
Hatred,
Joy,
Sorrow,
Be a poet,
Paint your canvas with beautiful words.

When Hello Poetry was blocked,
My mind and heart  too locked.
My mobile rested,
My family feasted,
On the delicious dishes I had time to cook.
I tried other sites,
But  HELLO POETRY for me is right.

When she bloomed,
I found my voice,
Such was the power of her beauty,
Her smile restored my soul.
1/8/2020

My heart thrives on your love,
Please water it with your love,
Manure it with the nutrients of your tender care,
**** out unwanted jealousy,
It will bloom for you,
Only you my precious.
2/3/2020

Whatever the conditions,
Bloom with Grace.

flowers bloom even,
in the grief of pandemic,
farewell wreath on grave.

lovely moonlit night
**** crept inside lover's sheets
her mum screamed help thief!

He always flaunted there was nothing in love,
Mocked people who were in love,
Today, a Juliet  has changed him into  a Romeo.

The day our first child was born,
Our bohemian and crazy  life style was gone,
We became architects of our own characters,
Which is what matters,
For children are our reflections,
And they learn from our actions.

He came and filled the space between my fingers,
and glued his heart to mine.
We became one.

I am truly most interested in one book,
A cheque book.
30/10/2020

Closed books wilt and ruffle,
They go to sleep,
Take them in your hands and open them,
See how an engrossing one holds you spellbound,
They urge you to read them on,
They entice you with beautiful pictures,
Interesting stories,
Deep knowledge,
Poetries,myths and legends.
Some get you so immersed in them,
That you refuse to close that particular book till you come to its end,
Every book has its own value and content.

God created Adam,
Soon HE got bored,
HE decided to spice things up,
So HE created Eve,
Till today he has no rest.

When I am bored,
I write poems.
Bored with nothing to do,
Angry,
Action poems,
Bored with nobody to talk to,
Sad,
Dramatic poems.
Bored with no one to listen to,
Miss my love,
Nostalgic poems.
Simply bored and lazy,
In a good mood,
Funny poems.
Bored in a crowd,
Interesting quotes and sayings.

The first thing I loved about her was she was never boring,
And she dressed cute,
Cupid did the rest.
3/8/2019.

She gave the last push,
I slid out swoosh,
I didn't want to come,
To this world,cumbersome.
I refused to cry,
The doc would not let me die,
I gave out a wail,
He beamed,"See, I never fail.
The nurse gave me to mum,
Tired, dishevelled,utterly happy
she stretched out her arms,"Come, come,
My handsome chum."
Yes,lady, life is going to be fun,
You and me, your little one,
Where's my old man that brought me here,
There he was near mummy dear,
Oh my Lord! You have sent me to softies,
Not like the last,pretending to be believers in deities,
Forced me to live in fear and abuse,
These ones of cruelty I cannot accuse.
Lord! This time you have changed the stage,
A couple, of middle age,
Pining  for a child,
I smiled,
Held mum's thumb,
Tried to ****,dumb,
Gave the old man a grin,
Such happiness I had never seen,
I promised to be terrible two from now,
The Lord guffawed.
