Getting older and older,
Moving beyond seventies,
And I like it,
I feel lucky,
Not many have the opportunity.

All the answers,
I asked for a new pen,
If you lose this one
You will write with your finger.
Once I asked mum,
Let's have dinner somewhere out,
She put my plate out on the doorstep,
Enjoy your dinner.
I was in a negative mood that day,
Refused to eat rice and curry,
Demanded pizza,,
Good you are going to share your food,
The birds are hungry,
They will enjoy your meal,
And your dad can have the extra portion of your curry,
I am proud of you.
If dad had to punish or ground us,
Silently she made sure he had done the needful,
Or he was grounded from entering their bedroom.
Mum was a woman of few words and lots of action.

And with certain people,
Giving no response,
Holding your silence,
Will prove more powerful.

After every regular salah,
I prostrate and supplicate other duas(prayers),
I find peace in HIS presence.

To lunch with my pretty girlfriend,
It was bowled over by her,
Immediately it started to flirt with her,
Flickering it's metaphors coyishly at her ,
Referring to her as a rose bud in blossom .
She blushed shyly as the corner of her mouth broke into a delicious smile,
Before I had a chance,
It read my poetry I had wriiten for her,
Adding  sweet nothings to it,
It was as if Emily Dickison was reciting poetry,
As it finished the last verse,
She clutched it in her hands,
Tears of joy in her moist eyes,
Then she turned to me and softly asked,
"Can I take it home with me,"
Leaving me no choice but to nod,
My poetry had beaten me in the game of love.

To grandfather,
In your days you had no T.V,
WhatsApp,
Snapchat
Twitter
Facebook,
X
Instagram,
Youtube
Mobiles and
Computers,
What did you in your free time.
Grandfather answered,
We had plenty of time for each other,
We bonded,
We built relationships,
And we retired  to our rooms early,
We made big families.

I learned and practised patience with zeal,
It gave me
Relief,
Praise
Peace,
Showed me its true worth.
