Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2021
a call from heaven
something you cannot run from
it's the bitter truth.
Salmabanu Hatim Jan 2021
Death does not discriminate,
Whether black, white, Brown or yellow,
All are equal,
Time up and POP

Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2021
It is inevitable,
Everybody will taste it,
I don't fear death,
But dread the state in which I will die.

Is a blessing,
A release from the cauldron of fire called life.

Is not shrouded in darkness,
But divine light embracing and calling you to join the Angels.

Salmabanu Hatim Jul 2020
A wish of some,
To die, what come.
Depressed,
Stressed,
Don't worry,
What's the hurry,
Don't they say,
Rest In Peace if you may.
Death is a continuance of life,
To a better place with no strife.
At last gone the sufferings,
Silence the moanings,
An empty bed,
Eulogy read,
From dust to dust,
For death is a must.
17/7/2020
How,
Where,
When and
Why,
Is all predestined.

Lurks everywhere,
Waiting for your time to go,
It does not look at age.

Salmabanu Hatim Nov 2023
Is the station,
Where you change the mode of transport,
From walking the earth,
To flying to the Hereafter,
On the wings of an Angel.

Salmabanu Hatim May 2019
I am death,
I move in stealth,
Here, there and everywhere.
Do not fear little friend,
I only come for your end,
To help you to start writing on a new page,
I don't see time or age,
I come to lead you to freedom,
To take you home
Never try to seek me
When your time is up there I will be.

"Any last words", asked the priest,
Requested for today's paper,
"Read for me the obituaries page"
My name was not there.
There was hope.

23rd pair of *** chromosomes,
                    X or  Y
In male seals the fate of the gender,
                     GIRL or BOY
Then why men in certain societies blame woman for not giving birth to a BOY.
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2019
Between the pink sunrise of birth and peach and gold sunset of death there is you and your deeds.
Live wisely.

The moment,
You are able to stay in silence,
Your mind empty of thoughts.

As I was arguing with my daughter,
I saw a reflection of mumin me,
And a reflection of me in my daughter,
When I was her age.

Dark clouds are like pregnant women,
When they can no longer handle the weight,
Clouds deliver rain,
Pregnant women deliver babies.

Guests who came said my husband was acting,
Trying to make my life hard.
Ignorant were they.
How could a man act,
Who was not aware of his own
EXISTENCE.
Salmabanu Hatim Nov 2020
I can forgive you,
I can forget the hurt for my sake,
But to trust you again,
That is denied.

I fell in love with it,
I took it for long drives,
Parties,
Restaurants,
Even to meet my mum and dad.
I showered it with much love,
Alas! It left me.

My heart was a desert,
Dry and sandy with no life.
You made it into an oasis,
It transformed into a well of lovely emotions,
Let's drink the elixir of  love from it.

house full of people
soon an old deserted place
spiders weave webs there.

You drowning me in heartache and sorrow,
I learned how to swim in joy and love.

To love,
Not to love,
To be loved,
Not to be loved,
Just happens,
It's instinct beyond your control,
It's the prerogative  of the heart.
I would say Love is Destiny.

For Valentine,
I gave my wife,
A plain 14ct gold ring.
It was gift wrapped in a diamond
box from Blue Nile,
I ended up in hospital,
Black eyed, unable to see her emotions.
Salmabanu Hatim Dec 2024
lazy to go loo
again and again at night
soothing comforting.

R.I.P
                Rest In Peace
                   Can You?
You were sent to earth to repent
                    Did You?
Grave is where you will be accountable for your good and bad deeds,
If you pass in flying colours then
                     Rest In Peace!
If you fail nobody can help you from His Wrath.

After you are conceived,
God decides your gender,
Writes the age you will live on this earth,
And settles the amount of provision you will have.

Die
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2020
Die
Your body will be six feet under,
Angels will take your soul to God,
Your loved ones will cherish your memories,
You will keep your love till you meet again in afterlife.

Die
Salmabanu Hatim Feb 2020
Die
Sometimes I sin,
I skip my prayers,
Occasionally I cheat,
I don't want to be perfect.
I am afraid to die,
If I am do good,holier than holy and never sin my slate with God would be clean,
HE will call me back,
And I don't want to go yet,
I want to stay and see the beautiful world and its people,
I want to LIVE LIFE.

Truth is the light that shows you the right path,
Lies are the fire that burns you to ashes.

My grandson will be eighteen this July,
He shares a birthday with Mr.Nelson Mandela on the 18th,
He asked me,"Dadi(granny) what is the difference between you and me
My Love, you are the sunrise,
You have to shine  brightly a long  way,
Giving your best to life,
Whilst I am the sunset
Retired,
Both beautiful and unique  in our own ways.

What you think is not always the best way to get an answer,
There are many ways to get the same result.

Are like sharpners,
You need them to sharpen you as it would a pencil,
To write the story of your success.
