The Only Lonely Woman
And even Tommy, the little cat
hides herself from the cold
in the pile of clothes,
so I don’t hear her
saying, mew, mew.
Daughter of Nature
The sun shines
Again I am in the desert with my cows and donkeys
Angel Daughter
I will name her Rose
And call her Rain
Early Marriage: Not the Only Destiny
Imagine your life in a dark room. Imagine a young bride aged twelve behind the curtains, helpless and lost in the first days after her wedding.
Early Marriage: Selling the Daughters
For a man it is a dream to have a young teenage bride, a wife who is fresh like an apple, a girl whom he can play with, plan her dreams, her future, and her destiny as if she were a toy.
Lullaby
Last night, the stars sang you their goodnight song
whispered bye-bye and see you soon.
A Universe of Love
Moments bloom when you look at me,
your lovely teeth like pearls in the ocean
when you smile.
Eyes of the Heart
She looked into my eyes and said,
“Forgive yourself. You are the daughter of love,
The voice of love and passion.
You are the arms of tolerance.”
How I Catch Love
When readers from all over the world read my words, I am understood as a woman. When Afghans work together to bring peace in Afghanistan, love catches me.
