collect falling leaves
to light fire for the cold night
warm and cosy night

Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2022
Fly and fall
Full of light and colour,
Just like my emotions.
Except one leaf,
Firmly attached to a lonely branch,
Fresh and green,
Like love,
The pearl of the soul.

leaves dance in red and gold frocks
flitting one and all

chilly less sunlight
say bye bye to chlorophyll
coloured leaves drift down.

Chlorophyll  the green pigment that gives green colour to leaves and as it breaks down leaves change to red yellow or orange
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2018
She was beautiful,
Soft as a snowflake,
That triggered an avalanche of love emotions in  me.
The beat of my heart became a roar, a crash a crack,
The thunderous sound echoing off the walls of my heart was awesome and frightening,
I was lovestruck.
Love words dripped from me,
I became a poet.
Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2019
I am in love,
At last I am awake.

Salmabanu Hatim Jul 2018
Yesterday,
The thoughts of my love,
Kept me awake the whole night,
While the world slept.
Lightning flashed with vengeance,
Whilst clouds thundered angrily,
And the rain cried with me till morning.
Tired, I dozed off with her memories,
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2019
With one look she can send the most intimate message.

Bad times made me forget how to
                      Smile
But his Smile made me forget my
                       Bad times.

Old age,
I learned to be wise,
To be patient,
To know the reality of life,
Gathered knowledge,
All for nothing ,
Cause I am beginning to forget even the basic things.

A baker on our street could not bake,
He could only fish in the nearby rivers and lake,
Mum bought his bakery,
He bought our old fish factory,
Both are happy for God's sake.

Salmabanu Hatim Dec 2022
Food from plants, poultry and fish is good for the body.
Chocolates  cookies, lollies and ice-cream is good for the soul.
Enjoy who knows what will happen tomorrow.

What hair my boyfriend could not grow on his head,
He had plenty  on his face.
An awesome beard, muscles and a tattoo on his arm,
A man with a swag,

We now realise we only need basics of life like food,clothes,
and shelter,
And others like education and Good Health.
With that we can survive,
So why we spoil our planet..?

When my phone battery is at 3%
panic sets in ,
This is how I react.
"Please love don't die,
Nothing will happen to you,
I won't let anything happen to you,
Hold on,
Don't close your eyes.

With deep roots to face any storm.

Embracing life with open arms
And be as happy as you can be just being you.

As I stepped on the beach,the sand as warm as can be
The ocean beckoned me,
It's blue water shimmering,
The seagulls overhead screaming,
A fisherman's boat buoyed up and down, alone,
Come sail in me son.
Tempting, I went into the ocean,
At first with caution,
The wind in my face,
A wave knocks me down in a haze.
I swim underneath it and onto the boat ,
It is hot,
I dive , swim , and play,
I taste the sea's salty spray,
Run back to the golden sand,
Dig holes, build sand castles with my hands,
I am free, free as a bird,
Without a care in the world.

littered with storm's new treasures
washed up body too.

Used in hundreds of recipes,
Blends with many dishes,
But retains its own taste.
It is positive,
Believes in itself,
And knows it's own value.

A beard is a man's hijab,
Gives modesty to the way he looks, talks and thinks.
Salmabanu Hatim Dec 2018
I had two mums,
My mum and my dad without a beard,
Then, he gifted himself a beard,
Now he looks beardsome awesome.
Salmabanu Hatim Nov 2019
I can't remember,
I can't understand,
I don't have concept of things,
My mind is leaking.
Don't leave me,please,
Give me a kiss on the cheek,
Hold my hand.
I am sick, sad and tired,
Be patient with me,
Don't think I am giving you a hard time,
I am having a hard time.
Keep me away from crowds and noises,
I hate them.
I may not answer,
I may be abrupt,
Don't take it to heart,
Still talk to me.
Don't lecture or argue,
My mind hurts,
Instead agree.
I am a lonely soul,
Give me a hint of kindness.

Help your dear ones suffering  from dementia or Alzheimer. They need you and your kindness all the way

Let go of people who don't wish to hold on to you,
Be firm, strong and deep rooted,
And weather any storm that comes your way.

In between is tempo to the piece called "LIFE"

Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2019
Beautiful is just a set of words of the alphabet,
Strung together like a diamond necklace,
Instead, be adventurous, crazy and amazing,
So men want to be with you and enjoy your company,
Not just have you.

My dad married a beautiful model,
Every morning she looks into the mirror and says,"I am beautiful."
Really?
What about from inside.

When she entered the room,
All eyes were on her,
She had eyes only for me.
.

She was my wife,
And I had her credit card.

Salmabanu Hatim Jan 2019
She was the handwritten masterpiece  of God,
Every head turned when she entered a room,
Most heartbreaking  was her innocence,
That made one yearn to protect her.

Perched on a petal,
Busy ******* the nectar,
Caught in a boy's net.
Salmabanu Hatim Nov 2018
Beautiful rain,precious rain,
Silver drops to add colour to nature,
Heavenly life line for the parched soil.
Nobody minds, neither the bird nor the tree,
All are happy,
Me too.
I run out in the rain,
I hear the leaves drinking the liquid drops,
It clatters on the rooftops,
Pitter patters on window panes,
Gushes out of the overflowing spouts,
Roars down the gutters.
I breathe the blessed rain,
As it falls on me,
Kisses me,
Drums on my head with its pearly drops,
Sings a sweet song to me,
As I twirl and dance in the rain.
