I looked up slowly,
I saw you lovely,
I saw the curve of your **** smile,
I heard the gurgling  of the stream in your laughter,
I felt better.
I saw beautiful lyrics in your words,
Soft, poetic verses I had never heard,
I was mesmerized  by your enticing gestures,
In my mobile I desired to capture.
I was bewitched  by your intense black eyes,
I looked away promptly, were my feelings for you lies,
Realization  hit me badly,
I had fallen in love with you madly,
When I was already engaged to someone else,
I was in a mess.

Wash hands frequently,
Some with the tap open,
That's a lot of water.
Soon water shortage.
Or Save Water.

My mind wants me to let go of him,
He is a cheat,
But, my heart is stubborn,
It still loves him.

I am back from work darling,
My wife looks happy today,
Something I am missing,
What say......
Today's a great day.
Here,love some pink and red roses,
With some hugs and kisses,
And some tulips too,
To say I love you.
Oh!Mama is here,
For you some pink and white carnations,
Before I forget to mention,
I got them on sale,
Your coat you asked for you will get by mail.
I love both my women,
Amen,
Can I have my dinner please.

Dip

Dip
I pour little tea in a saucer over my biscuits and have them,
Cause if you dip them in a cup and a second late,
Like opportunities they are gone.

Two things you must hold on to in life,
Courage and honour,
If you lose them you are nothing less than dirt in your boots

They said I was disable,
But, what about their attitude.
It was more disabled than I.

Wow! Hold on,
You are a unique one,
I have an album of natural disasters,
Can I take a picture of yours.
Is not child abuse,
Don't defend your child's mistake,
You may regret it in later life.

I feel,
My heart skips a beat,
When my children video call me,
And my grandchildren interact  with me like I am a stranger.
I wish bonding  of relationship be stronger through extended family.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder,
But in any relationship don't stretch the distance so that like a rope it breaks.

He wanted to come closer,
I refused,
He wanted to touch me,
No! I shouted,
He wanted to kiss me,
I wore a mask.
What's wrong with you he asked in anger,
Who's come between us?
COVID 19 I replied.

On his mask was written:

I dived many times for your heart,
At last I got it,
But when I opened it,
It was empty,
Somebody had taken the pearl.

He asked me,"Where is God?"
Everywhere,
HE is also within me,
Without his will I am nothing.
Look at the beauty of nature,
You, HIS creation,
And feel HIS loving embrace.

Courting and honeymoon are lust phases,
When over these stages,
Reality sets in,
Don't give in.
The unpaid bills, messy house,
Bickering with your spouse.
Men! Don't look at your problems,
They will stick on you like chewing gums,
Find solutions!
Be on course,
With understanding and love your marriage hold at all cost,
Or with pity and remorse,
Take a divorce.
Salmabanu Hatim Dec 2020
After several years of marriage,
He had become a vacuum cleaner in her life,
******* all her happiness with his bullying and demands,
So she decided it was time to pull the plug.

You eat oily and junk food with relish,
Then you come to me complaining and moaning,
I check you,
I give you a prescription,
What do you do?
You ask me,"Are there any

To you,
Your mind goes blank.
You become like a tubelight,
The bulb in your brain blurs,
Or it takes some time to light,
By that time the person you are supposed to greet has already left.
It happens to me often,
I realise later the person was talking to me ,
Smiling at me as she passed by,
Or has stopped to talk to me
They feel I am arrogant,
It has soured some relationship,
Now I make it a point to phone and apologise.
I am a simple person,
I am happiest when people's
eyes twinkle when they see me.

As time moves on,
A river flowns on,
No turning back,
What has passed by is gone forever.

Kindness is free,
Smiles are contagious,
Hugs are plentiful,
Happiness is when you learn to give and forgive,
What are you waiting for ? Scatter your good deeds everywhere like raindrops,
Bring greenery in others life garden.

My owner is a good man,
He loves to take me for long walks.
Although he keeps me on a leash for my safety,
He lets me be free,
To snoop around bushes and flower beds,
For two things I have learned,
Not to be curious,
And stay clear of people who are afraid or not like dogs.
I let a loving hand scratch my ears and ruff,
Especially young pretty ladies,
So my owner can make friends with them,
I love to lick their faces and hands to show my appreciation.
At the beach I love to run along the golden sand,
Chase seagulls to the water's edge,
Or up to the sky.
Some children throw sticks,
And I play fetch with them,
Outrunning the wind.
I understand my owner's feelings,
When his affairs don't go well,
Instead of pestering him to take me for a walk,
I look up at him and sympathise,
I cuddle up to him,
Rest my head on his lap to say,
"Don't worry I'm here for you.'

I love looking at women,
Their beauty and their slim figures,
I can't have enough of them.
So I have decided to donate my eyes after I die.

That was the opinion of my girlfriend,
So on her birthday I sent her different quotes of flowers as a bouquet.

My wife nags,
My father shouts,
My children scream for everything,
And I am disturbed and frustrated.
Among this chaos my mother is calm pretending to be deaf.
Tired, and frustrated I asked her how she withstands this volatile household.
Simple, don't react and be disturbed,
Stay calm and find a solution.
When they start stay quiet and listen,
This space will give you time to find a solution,
Sometimes, it may be some trivial things they expect from you,
Do them,
If not, wait till they have calmed down and explain or be firm and stand up for what you  think is right.
At no time be disturbed and react.

I'm fine,
Be happy,
Don't worry.
Look at me,
I am wearing the smile you gave me,
Round my neck,
I am wearing  a pendant with your charm which you gave me.
A smile and charm,
Will keep mine and other hearts warm.

Fill your child's mind with your thoughts,
Or mould him your way,
Give him time and space to enjoy his childhood to the fullest,
Let him collect his own memories.

Impossible will become possible.

Don't look back,
Lest you see my tears fall to end on my lips,
Where I taste the saltiness of your betrayal.
Let your daughter marry a miser,
Even if he is a saint
He is miserly against his own soul.

Work like a machine,
The company you work for will never be yours,
Your client may be important,
So is your family,
Money is a necessity,
But not at the expense of your health.

Each shines in his own time,
Showing his own talents,

You are alone,
You need help,
Try to bring out the strength within you,
And self manage yourself.

When my life here is done,
When I am gone,
Let my journey to heaven
Be a blissful one.
I will be alone no more,
Never have time to be a bore,
For now the angels will be there,
Of me to take care,
To feed and clothe me with the finest one there is,
At last I will rest in peace.
If tears come to your eyes,
It will not be for my  demise,
But your soul stricken regret,
Wish I could have been there for the dead.
