Sadaf Aslam Poems

Into the garden I went

Into the garden I went looking for color
...

Humpty Dumpty went to the Hill
Humpty Dumpty and the MAGA will

He spread his hate, he spread his lies
...

Be grateful

"Be grateful" they say
Be grateful for the moon, she gives you all her light
...

My pillows are soft with silky covers,
My bed is warm, fluffy feathers,
The snow glows on a moonless night,
Quiet and calm. A peaceful sight.
...

Peanut brittle or pecan pie?
Pumpkin spiced latte chai
Or saffron flavored ras malai?
What will you have? What should I?
...

You came to me, in a funny way
A cold and cloudy, sunny day
Hands and feet, tucked away
What a blessing! I quietly say
...

A button nose, ten ticklish toes
Eyes search my face for what, heaven knows
I've held you close, so very close
I've looked at you that way
...

Sixteen candles on your cake
Secret wishes we watch you make
Pictures, presents, partying late
Its "you" we come to celebrate
...
