NAILA HINA

 



The Gold Trophy


She was bathing in a gold tub

Filled with money!


She was his queen

Long before he became elected

As he was a king of his trades!


She was a beauty queen

When she caught his first glance

In an attire of a peacock

feathers with rainbow and coins

Pencil thin with busty busts

Like a gold trophy

Waiting to be won!


Her eyes were like emeralds

And he was a gem smith...


But before that, she came

From a humble beginning.

They had both wed previously

Too late they found solace

In each other's arms

And what they desired most


She the money,

He the golden trophy!


Crescent Foul!


Drama

 (Folk story in a poem)


Like the arrow of love

Pierced in my heart

Opened to reveal 

The Pandora shine 

And dangling charms of

The polished Sterling 

Silver heart 


The new moon 

Like a delicate

Round bladed knife

Has cut in two pieces

The mask of happiness


I kept on all my pains

Unveiled the hurts

And sorrow to the world

Of Artemis' heart

Comes on the silver chariot

Of new moon 

Found in the wilds

Glowing the Amazons.

An eternal virgin

After disloyalty of Orion

Became Diana!
