Let me tell you a story I witnessed,
it's a true story about how I handle my business.
'Once upon a time
...
Who is this guy in the mirror?
Why is he looking at me?
Why is he staring at me?
Why is he ogling at me?

Assalamu Alaikum WaRahmatullahi WaBarakatuhu ukhti
You are so beautiful. You are so beautiful it hurts me that I don’t know you yet.
Who knows, I probably have never met you yet.

Homesick
I am so homesick, I am not homesick anymore
I am so homesick, I am now sick of home

It’s being a couple of months since the semester began
so it’s that time of the year again
sleepless nights, texts books and note binds
tensions rising, mass bunking in the name of self-studying
...
My mummy traveled a lot on weekends
taking time to visit relatives and friends
...
Love Before First Sight
I want you to fight my brother
Make sure you don’t surrender

Now I guess ya'll already understand what I'm going to be saying to you, so I'm not going to recite to you a long poem that will end up boring you but I'll just pour out to you what I feel in me and probably you do too. This ain't no free style neither is it a wild style I'm just hoping to speak to you, for a just a little while.
Now I left home with hope and prayers from the pope and my hair combed to come to a different land to learn one, two, three and A, B, C, and may be add to that, the native Ek, Do, Tin and now that I am here, I've already established a home sweet home away from my mum's own home.

Dear Big Black Jacket
I bought you all the way from Sarojini Market
From that dude with the bad breath
Hoping you can cover me like a blade is covered by a sheath
