His romance rewinds
Water and fire, mud and winds;
When God bellows, a life begins.
Cupid and Venus, Aphrodite and Eros;
When a man serenades, his romance begins.
Woods and planks, rails and nails;
When a man builds, His home begins.
Thistles and thorns, needles and pins;
When a man weds, his trouble begins.
Earthly and divine, ups and downs;
When a man reasons, his wisdom begins.
Sixes and sevens, forgot and forlorn;
When a man turns “67”, His senescence begins.
Lakes and oceans, hurricane and typhoons ;
When she deserts him, his romancing rewinds.

Coming of New Year…
Bidding the year behind, enchanting the memories in mind
Welcoming the New Year, filled with concealed events.
Lights being lit seems twinkling stars, wishing everyone
With lots of new hopes and dreams.
Coming closer once again to reality of accepting challenges
With fresh mind and blessings. Fading the bygone days
Unfolding new chapters; turning to reach towards the miles
Trying to capture these moments with cheerful smiles.
Syeda Shabina Rahman
Love in the car
I reach you by reducing the
adverse distance,
I feel you by climbing the
highest mountain of emotions,
I touch you when the sun winks his eye; I travel from feelings to longings,
Warmth to your breath,
Moving sights of the outside
Enrapture us to eye each other for a while,
Fallen smile of your face
awakens thousands of hope,
For a rhythmic dance in heart.
Enchanting whistle of the forest
echoes unsung song of the spring.
We only meekly scribe a new poem in the remote horizon.
