Sometimes
Allah gives you too much wealth to punish you ,
Knowing your greed,
You will want more and more,
You will never be content,
You can never spend it.

A coin
Has two sides,
The first side will tell you he has been rude or unjust,
He has hurt me,
Look at the other side and ask,
What did I do,
For him to be rude or unjust,
When you get the reason the hurt will lessen,
Sometimes it takes two to tango.

My children
However or whatever they do to hurt me,
I cannot,
Block them,
Delete them,
Or forget them.
I will never let go of them.

Mum at home
She was a manager of a prestigious company,
After marriage she gave up her well paid job to take care of her three children,
Everyone was happy with their simple life,
Except the older son,
He always complained as his extravagant wants were not met,
One day he started as usual,
Ĺook at yourself mum,
Who sits at home doing nothing,
All my friends mums are CEOs of big companies,
They come to college in their own cars,
They wear branded clothes and shoes,
Blah, blah, blah, on and on,
What have you to give us mum,
She quietly replied,
I gave up my job,
To give you my time, presence and love  ,
Not leave you with nannies and maids.

Earth
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.

After
Seven decades,
I wish I was illiterate,
So when I need assistance to go to a doctor,
To fill forms,
To pay bills
At least my children would have been more responsible towards me.

A fly
Came between us,
As I was about to kiss him,
A fly settled on his lips.
Every action has a reaction,
I cried out," Yuck,"
Startled,
He left the room without a word.

Islam
Islam teaches about what is life,
And how to live it through it's five pillars
Shahada- declaration of faith,
Salat- prayers
Sawm- fasting
Zakat-charity,
Hajj-pilgrimage.
It can never be annihilated,
For Ya Hussein sacrificed his head for it.
When I attend majlis Hussein,
And listen to the torturous way he and his companions were massacred,
I forget all my pain and sorrow,
And weep for him till today after 1400 years.

Tea
Tea
Is poetry,
Sip by sip,
Verse by verse,
Offers solace,
To savour the moment.
Early morning
Steaming hot tea,
A magic key ,
With it's fragrant aroma,
Awakens poetic thoughts,
Warms the heart,
And nourishes the soul,
A soothing ritual.
Me, my cup of tea,
And my poetry
Time stands still,
As this simple pleasure,
Calms and inspires.
And among friends and family,
Sorrow, pain and anxiety is shared,
Whilst happiness is multiplied.

If all politicians and leaders were

There would be peace,
No war,
Only kitty parties,
And neighbouring countries jealous of

Locals diet
A bottle of Coca-Cola,
Salted, roasted groundnuts with skin ,
Immerse the nuts in the Coca-Cola,
Now take a sip with the nuts,
Ahhhh.....
Salt will fizz up the Coca-Cola
Scrumptious concoction ,
Worker's diet
Coca-Cola with nuts on bread,
Try it and remember me.

Nosy
My neighbour knew more about me than I or my husband,
So when she came to chat over a cup of tea,
I would hint to her what I wanted for our anniversary or birthday a few days before,
By evening all the neighbourhood would know,
Even my husband who is forgetful,
So hubby has no excuse.

I have never
Interfered with my grandchildren's
upbringing
I brought up my children,
As I deemed fit,
Theirs I leave to my children,
But yes I advise whenever necessary,
Children are sharp witted,
When they want something they are not allowed,
They come to you,
Did your mum the Home Minister give you permission  to be safe.

I had hurt her deeply
I should not have said those nasty
things to her,
I went up to her and said sorry,
She shrugged her shoulders and said okay,
But I knew it was half hearted forgiveness,
So I took both her hands and beseeched that it was my fault,
She was about to shrug her shoulders,
I quickly whispered, Please what can I do ease your hurt",
Tears came to her eyes but she gave me a soft
smile ,
The hurt will take time to heal,
But your genuine apology is like a balm to my wound,
I sincerely forgive you

Kal ho na ho
The man was always busy with his meetings
and expanding his business .
He rarely had time for his wife and son,
But he loved them and showered them with
expensive gifts.
That day was his graduation,
He had just enough time to gift his son a Honda Civic hatchback,
His son took the keys,
Leave your business trip dad,
Come for my graduation with us,
Sorry son but I have to go,
It's an important deal ,
We will celebrate your graduation when I return.
His son's last words to him were
Dad  KAL ** NA ** (Tomorrow may NEVER COME,
That night both mother and son died on the spot in a car accident,
As they were returning home.
Meetings may be important,
So is family.

Prostration
A posture of humility,
Ego and pride thrown out,
Forehead and tip of nose touching the ground,
The heart below the body,
When Allah is closer to you than a heart
beat,
No WiFi needed to connect to Him
He is there,
Ready to hear
Ready to heal.

But several more dots for you to complete the sentence,
Or start a new beginning,
This is your opportunity,

The soul is the human self,
With its desires, emotions and ability to do good or evil,
The soul being the master and the body
the servant to carry out the actions.
The body is the vessel for the soul,
And the seat for the minds activities,
Such as thinking, reasoning and making decisions.
All three are interconnected to make a complete human being ,
And his journey in life.
Whilst the spirit(ruh) is the divine essence,
A breath of life infused in us by Allah,
That leads us to path of righteousness and spritual growth,
The soul is focused on our earthly doings with the body and mind.
The spirit and soul exist after death,
The spirit is seen as a person(a witness) and return to Allah,
The soul will be accountable for your actions on earth
Good or evil,
And will be judged in the afterlife
The body is committed to earth,
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
In the hope of resurrection.

I have left
To feel bad,
Cause it only hurts me,
While the one who has inflicted the
hurt  doesn't care,
Or isn't  aware of it.
Hear not,
See not,
Speak not,
Return not,
Bliss and peace of mind.

Weird story
A very thin man,
And a very fat prettyy lady,
Met on a warm sandy beach.
They gazed at each other and their hearts thudded,
They played on the beach,made sandcastles  and sang songs  
And hand in hand they let the waves hit their feet.
Then they sailed in a beautiful pea green boat for a month and a day,
They smelled the sea and let their spirits fly,
At night the man would look at the stars above and sing love songs  in a lovely voice ,
As each day passed their love grew.
They came to a land where an enchanting small church stood,
Said the man to the lady,
My Love let's get married,
For long have we tarried,
So they were wedded the next day by the priest with a scar on his face.
The lady said to the man,
Now we are wedded we shall share everything 50/50,
I wash we wear
I cook you eat,
I diet,
Till we become same in weight.

Not alone
Sad I float by
Like the lonely cloud in the clear sky,
I feel as though like the deep sea,
No one truly knows me.
There are some things I wish not to recall,
Inevitably like rain they must fall,
As dark days behest loneliness,
I search deep within in silence,
I realise what I seek is there in me
Here, there, everywhere free,
Enough my ownself.

It all just to be with you,

Now I am standing at the edge of a cliff contemplating...............
