LAST LOVE

It was the night before the war
We had a family dinner
Hugs, kisses fun, laughter and toast to a beautiful life ahead
We slept like kings but awoke to become slaves
The skies have darkened
Mother Earth is trembling
Gunshots and rebels everywhere
Mother where are thou, Father you promised to be my guide
Sister and Brother fled
I am my own man
This war wont tame  me
Out of the rubbles Ill emerge
Unbent unbowed and Unbroken
With sword and its sheath
Ready to conquer the storm of this cruel world
And the Sun shall shine again

But then ...I still miss the warmth of home

For our brothers, sisters, sons and husband who have been victims of strife, war and holocaust....

ODE TO THE CLARION CALL

One year, 365 days so fast
Donning the uniform one last time
One year of bliss, joy, sad times and down moments
The clarion call we obeyed
Nuclear ties we deferrred
Far and wide , we travelled
Beautiful people , Different people
Good, Kind, arrogant and peaceful
The tides of fate brought us together
Beautiful moments we would  forever cherish
So many to be forgotten
Multitude6 bowed to the clutchy hands of death but here we are standing through it all
Stepping out with Grace, Faith and Hope
Our destination is different,but our path crossed
The journey continues, the hustle never stops.
We are not sure of where we would be tomorrow  definitely we know WHO HOLDS Tomorrow
We doff our cap one last time
Let history count us among those who served this nation with pride
To the waiting arms of family we fly into.

RAMADAN SERIES

Its shade is leaving us gradually
Like a soldier going to war
Hoping to be back stronger
Yet not sure of Home coming
You have Prayed the Nights and
fasted the days
You have persevered , cried and asked
You have given to the poor and spent in course
Of your Lord
The waiting period is the longest before dawn
Now sit and watch your life change in the
days to come
For THE ONE behind the wheel is never flawed
