Another Year Another Decade!
Twas an awful blow, still alive, that cold and lonely 31st Dec eve.
Soon came a sizzling day,13th Aug eve, another blow unexpectedly.
The sandy desert of KSA, laden are my two precious brothers.
With them lay our treasured memorbale days, unseen by others
The laughter, jo, y emotional feelings, shared so countless...
A family filled with purest essence, since we became fatherless
Brother, father, guardian, friend, they never ever cease to be.
Towering strength they stood by, with sincere love and dignity.
Their soothing gently voices, echoing in our ageing years.
Losing control, our twin rivers leak with over flowing tears.
A lone walk we enter in silence, the dawn of another year.
Which of us be left, to face another parting and endless falling tears!

Playground of a Childs Mind
PlayGround Of A Mind
You might wake up to a morning of a silent thought
To a memory of distant friends you had tastefully sought
With remembrance of wasteful wars and things of past
And moan the expense of many splendor that did not last
You may hear the traces of footsteps in the canyon of your mind
It maybe some precious friend who thinks of you all the time
Like the foamy waves that keeps rushing to the sandy shore,
Gently restore your memory to your dear friends, once more.
When sunset face the west and in slumber you do retire,

Friendship A Tranquilizer
Those days of glamour and innocence now replay,
Laughter tears with smile spread across many a day.
Glances exchanged, friends of days that was less forgot,
Some moments of time, engraved a sweetness knew not.
As paths drifted across oceans and the volumes of sky,
Memories darkened fading and unclear as time did fly.
Decades, years, months, did not its beauty ever forget.
Friendly thoughts shared with reservation that was set.
Wondering if it will ever come back to cherish, again.
Now alone a stand, heartaches uncertainty unending pain.
As special memories surface, with many a hidden bliss.
A friendship never was sought, now kind of feels the miss.
A heart embraces, feelings of happiness gently do swell.
A place with dignity and grace a tranquility to dwell

The Emotional Waves and the Friendly Shore
The waves and the shore, friends forever more
No reservations uncondtional the fragrance ever more
Through misty eyed a vision did not lack
to reach to a friendly hand that did not slack
As the clouds chariotted many passing storms
The skies spoke a lanugage in distorted forms
A miraculous light touched the days that strayed
When a priceless presence in words gently swayed
Many thoughts into a kind heart did gradually melt
To brave the world a strength and a guidance felt
like the wave rushing to the sandy sea shore
multi colored expression of feelings it did roar
And friends keep running in sorrow to each other
With a sincere love unconditional like no other.....
sharing the deepest dark secrets as friends understand
And the heart now rests with happiness in wonderland.

The Clouds Soon Roll By
The hailstorm brought in blocks and pebbles of ice that around us lay
The rain waters hitting the windows a scary rhythm it harshly did play
The dark grey clouds charioted by the winds of anger as into space I gazed
Sent shivers down my spine as I tasted the salt that kissed my lips and I stood dazed
The memories of those who passed through my life, touched me with good grace.
With strength that never failed to wade the rocky waters of life's uncertain race.
Hands stretched out near and far the distance mattered not; the many miles apart.
Those tender special moments engraved deeply, now lies a memory in my heart.
With a bond so sweet to be cherished, a strength that changed the course of life,
To face many slains with the sweetest fragrance, clouding many a worldly strife.

Blissful Delights..My lovely family
My Perfect Family, Blissful delights
My living lamps, my family/ and their dear bright lights,
Blossomed my happiness and garlanded my fading might.
Their silken satin display on my bday they did parade,
A regiment so sweet and strongly they fragrantly played,
For a colorful surprise with eloquent luxurious taste,
My gaze rested on the celebrity table laid, with no haste.
A triumphant table, a cake in command, balloons to decor,
Computed to meet my wondrous hours and years and more.
With Beauteous friends, jewels of the just, they did restore.

My brother's bday....and he is gone!
Firoze ibrahim...born 20th Feb 1948....died 13th August 2009
Feelings stirred, my brothers bday dawns, an emptiness felt,
My ageing eyes overflows with a pain that cannot be dealt.
Moving along life's journey, precious thoughts do unfold
Memories of the wondrous days shared, in our hearts we hold.
Days filled with fun, laughter the sweet fragrance of love.
United we walked through trials, a blessings from above.
Those Phone calls, greetings, meetings are all now.. so gone
Sunrise, sunset and non-stop each day do effortlessly dawn.
Clinging to the sweetness and his gentle caring words,
Lessens the pain as his voice with kindness still heard.
Looking back down memory lane I must say I can’t help find,
An unexplainable sad loss in the background of my mind....

No Tears In heaven
To All My Friends Relatives Gone before me and who will go after me....
No Tears In Heaven!
A friend is someone who lends a helping hand,
With a friendship to last forever in this earthly land
They will be friends forever and may not end up together,
With precious memories that will last forever and ever.
A friend is not a maid, a servant, a distant past, certainly not!
They hold a piece of you in their hearts and its forget me not.
Brightens up your deepest darkest hour... day by day
Shares your smile, your victory, in many a glorious way,
Words to describe, i certainly find it hard and its sad
But i am grateful, friends have i, when my times are bad.
And when the curtain falls the journey bravely we will carry on
Wondering.. Will you know my name if I saw you in heaven?

Abdullah Sherrif Enters Teen Kingdom
Growing up is hard and the challenges you meet harder,
You are my strong young lad, wise and interesting with laughter.
A loyal shoulder to rest my weary head, you did lovingly lend
Your untiring effort with a smile, you reached to me as a friend.
Now our days of fun filled with happiness soon will cease to be..
But my duty as a granma i will not shirk and thats a certainity,
Emotionally, psychologically, physically, a man soon you will be.
The teen kingdom will be paved with confusion, in today's society.
Fill your days with the fragrance of sincereity, honesty and dignity
Life is just what happens and how you handle it matters, honorably
Scattering sweetness of trust flowering with love and faith intelligently
to keep a sail on your structured fleet with its passengers majestically
