I was once curiously asked:
"Why write poetry?
Does it pay the bills?"

I replied with a smile:
"It does far more than that -
it heals."
WAR
What good does a war do ?
Taking lives of civilians and soldiers alike,
destroying livelihoods.

What good does a war do ?
You killed my people, I killed yours -
the cycle goes on and on .

What good does a war do?
Fighting for a piece of land-
what good is a piece of land
if all your loved ones are dead ?

What good does a war do?
Polluting air , damaging crop lands -
what good will it do if you have poison to breathe, no food to eat?

Don't we have enough
cause to fight-
climate change, global warming, ever -rising pollution?

It is not the time to fight each other but to stand together with each other.

We would walk everyday to school
Holding our hands and being sweet
Then hug and kissed each other
As if we won't t see each other again

We would go on movie date
Watching our favorite movies
After that we would eat ice cream
Enjoying like there's no tomorrow

You would take me to a fancy place
Then you will propose to me
Of course I will say yes, get married
We will have three kids and be happy
But none of it was true, it's was just
delusions.

You're so pretty
I could watch you all day
You're so kind
That I fall in love

You're my dream
You are like a light
To my dark world
You make me happy

I want to see you
I want  to be with you
I wish to have you
I wish you want me
