Tauhi_d O Poems

Gingerly walking down the lane,
Of worn out paths of shrubs & tiny insect's
for a rendezvous with nature
and a little time to think
...

it was dearest to me in time past
it was my Companion in times of distress and anquish
even in times of joy and celebrations it was always dear
it was my best friend
...

My nose wrinkle at the smell of your presence
I whisper my heart onto my palms for warmth
From your heavenly embrace my skin takes its glow
...

I hate to wake you up and say goodbye
I am leaving without your warm embrace
I wanted to stay, but it will bring you pain
...

I am on a journey in search of my dreams
Whether clothed or naked, my embrace it wont escape
Even though dirty and weary I become
...

Don't be scared! But i really want to murder!
To murder the bad things in my life..
looking back at 2015..
there were things i did in 15'
...

if we are all crazy then who is the craziest? ? ? ? ? hmm!
So crazy! Yeah so crazy! i Am crazy because i support arsenal,
arsenal fc is crazy because its has not won the league for 12years,
we haven't won for so long because our coach is crazily crazy,
...

physically beautiful with scars or not
mentally awake, sexy or hot
aesthetically pleasing to the eyes
humanly generous than others by miles
...

love has always been that golden fish
so elusive to me that I gave up
I immerse myself into books
and started a romance with poetry
...

different parents different homes
all we shared was just our genders
and our little naked fraternity
as we chase the orange ball around
...

as the sun shuts it's eye to the world
so the moon could start it's nightly watch
and the winged fellows make a homely bow
I promise I shall be back
...

if I were with you right now what will you do? will you say you love me? kiss me? or hold my hands?
I had a dream last night and you were in it
I wish you could be here right now
...

all you did see was my laughter
smiles and friendly banter
never for once you really thought
that deep inside I could be hurt
...

where does the soul really go to
does it perch on the tree like a bat
or fly mightily like the giant eagle
or does it roam the empty Street
...

if we had known it wouldn't be more than a year
we wouldn't have formed a family
bounded by love and religion
eternally joined together in truth
...

18.

Another day of beautiful laughter
Nestled upon an angelic face
Ibycus lyrics so sweet on your lips
Kneeling in humble prayer mode
...

there has never been a perfect life
we all go around with our troubles
hidden beneath our trendy garbs
masked all round by friendly smile
...

oh! beautiful stranger
even with your rainy smile, you sparkle
as you walk stealthily, you seem to float
like beautiful clouds in the sky
...

The Best Poem Of Tauhi_d O

The Silence Within

Gingerly walking down the lane,
Of worn out paths of shrubs & tiny insect's
for a rendezvous with nature
and a little time to think

A cacophony of hungry voices
Drowned the energy of the ewa agoin seller,
A cloud on every face I saw,
sign of distress and anguish.

of daily struggles and hunger
of truthful lies in pitiable conditions
of dried tears turn to dust,
Of dreams sunk in its infancy.

T'was glaring to see all around
the quiet stomach rumbles
In every closed empty soup pot,
And the spotted skinless skinny dog

Then I saw the protruding belly,
of bili the street honeypot,
of an unborn fatherless child
Sewn from the loins hungry phalanges

I couldn't resist the lure of the red darting eyes
of chucks the local thug run furtively
looking for a careless victim
to provide a whiff of hemp

Ali the suya seller beckons.
muttered greetings of salam
followed by complaint of no sale
and resignation to fate

then I saw them all;
the young shirtless boys and girls
running all around the street in
mindless glee

the boys chasing a round leather
the girls playing hide and seek
little effigy in between their thighs
playing motherly roles to dolls

the motherly head bow in thought
the childish head bow in mischeif
the mother's in fruitless hope
the daughter's in mindless anticipation

Tauhi_d O Quotes

we win all battles in life, but we lose the war with death no matter the preparation

a man's life does not belong to him. it is owned by his mother, wife and kids.

this heat has bared its fang like an angry woman on her period

when all hope is lost and gone, death is the best antidote

all my life I have always being me, I have never tried to be in competition with anyone. I never copy anybody else's lifestyle. I am always me whether I win or lose

solitude is key to a discerning mind, the mind that constantly seeks for knowledge- tauhid
