When the kettle on the stove,
Saw the dainty cup ,
Graced with beauty and elegance,
It whistled and called out,"Hey! You  punk,
Come quickly,
Take me to her ,
So I can fill her with my hot love,
Before that  ugly coffee *** beats me to it.

Death comes to us eventually,
I live alone,
But I am afraid to die alone.
I strive to be a good person,
I pray everyday to Allah,
To give me an honorable death,
With dignity,
And at the time of my last breath I am amongst my family and friends.
old torn love letter
found in my bottom drawer
aah he rests in peace.

I was sad,
I was going to have my one decayed tooth removed,
It was a front tooth,
How would I look before I had another planted,
But just then the sad feeling turned funny sad,
Grandma came into the room,,
Took out her dentures and put them on the table,
She gave me an endearing toothless smile
I hugged her tightly,
Here I was being sad losing one,
And there she was happy without any

A pull
that holds me strong
to the here and now

A charge
that carries me across the wire
when I am down

The only precious current that flows in truth

Adrift,
the only spark of light
that grounds me

is you...
Dad
In the delivery room,
He took me in his arms
I felt the crisp Bank bills in his shirt pocket,
jingle of coins in his pant pocket
I knew it,
This man was my ATM card.
I snuggled close to him
Gave him a huge smile.

I loved to see my reflection in the mirror,
In my childhood and youth,
After that I looked at it with anxiety,
And then  as I aged I had second thoughts.
