alienation
Farah Taskin Nov 2021
I feel alone inside
a stream of people
my presence
is merely
insignificant
my existence
doesn't
really
matter
I deeply
realize
the cruelty
of the reality
I feel a sudden dart of anguish

last
night
she lit
a candle
for someone special
it was flickering faintly
she cast
her eyes
to the sidereal mysteries
the starry fireworks

A glance back
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
The souvenirs
beckon
nostalgia
I wistfully hark
back
to  the blue mountains
the blue moon
the cinematic
landscape
the coastline
the dense
wilderness
and so on
The obsession
hasn't
been
lost
yet

Earthlings
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
Ah!
How disastrous circumstances of the bluish-green planet
Air pollution,sound pollution,water pollution and the ozone hole
The entire environment has been clogged into garbage
The innocent animals are being killed
The nice birds are being confined
The trees are being cruelly cut off
The ecosystem is being gradually destroyed
Knowing death is unavoidable
Sins are being committed
How can they do these?


At the same time
We're too good
Our planet is ***** and span
Sins don't touch us
We love us all dearly
It's fortunate that we were not born in the earth
We love our orderly planet more than our life.

when somebody is in love
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
The sufferings become sweet
The word turns the tweet
of a bird
The beauteous
butterflies
fly in the stomach
The dazzling sun seems dark
Everything seems meaningfully meaningless
The lover is always sleepless
The eyes are eloquent
The lips love to be silent

A Doer
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
If you want successes
Ceteris Paribus
Surely
you'll get successes
Do it at once
Idleness enfeebles
progress
Stopping means
decease
Speed means
vigour
Enjoyments are
truly
fun
And vice versa
Duties should be quickly
done
Kinetic energy
produces
the sinews
Otiosity
should be
shunned
Set a goal and don't sit idle :)

I love this green planet
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
As a nature lover
I immerse in the greenery
I relish the scenery

The charm of the hydrangeas spreads
The forsythias smoothly toss their heads

The lively leaves hum
The green grasshoppers delicately jump

Hither
and thither
I seek the mirth
I simply
adore the earth.
I'm a Wordsworthian :)

keep calm and...
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
keep calm
and watch the spectrum

keep calm
and fall in
love with someone
who deserves you

keep calm
and fly the kite
at afternoon
or the sky lantern
at night

keep calm
and smile
and make it your style

keep calm
and drink
green tea
and write
the poesy

It's another Eid

I felt wonderful!
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
I pecked a motherless toddler on the puffy cheek
She smiled sweetly
at me
I felt wonderful!

I spent some
time
with the old people
They loved my
company
I felt wonderful!

I played with two cute
rabbits
in a garden
I felt wonderful!

I took the snap of a golden eagle
I felt wonderful!
Feeling wonderful is not very difficult :)

The painting of clouds
is
eyeful
Mermaids

forget
swimming and
gaze
at

The nimbus

a smoky blue shade

I wanna catch the cirrus
I can understand the phenology and the hydroponics
I cherish the rumblings
of thunder
My distress
has been submerged in
a flash of lightning

Te Amo
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
The nocturnal birds
are
singing
the lullabies
The exhausted stars
are
sleeping
in
the Stygian
skies
Nothing
is
glistening
The water of
the rill is
rippling
The light wind is
listlessly
playing
with my hair
Pearly
dew is
kissing
the pleasant petals
The sleepy
street is
being
forlorn


I'm peering
consciously
at the creamy
cornice
A photogenic countenance
in front of
my imagination
The object of
my affection
The insipid murk
and the blue
nights of
mine without you
The feelings of
mine are experiencing
torment
I'm repeatedly
whispering
"Te Amo..."

Her Fairy Story
Farah Taskin Sep 2021
A princess
lives
in an eyrie
She has a magic wand
So she rollicks
She gazes
at the Pegasus
that disguised as an
aeroplane


The gardenias
the marvel of peru
the hibiscus
the poinsettia
the sweet pea
and the wisteria
electrify her
The warblers
visit her
everyday


She turns springy in spring
She turns sad in winter
She becomes restless in summer
She rises
like a phoenix
from the ashes
Again
she eagerly waits
for spring

She travels
to salubrious
places
She is elusive
It's an autobiography!!! lol

One-Sided Love
Farah Taskin Sep 2021
He looks like a mesmerizing moonbeam
She desperately desires him


He smells of lavender
His smiles make her

He's unaware

She does

from the distance
of light year
Yes,she's a one sided lover.

Why the stars of the
Andromeda Galaxy rise
Do you find?
Pleasurable peace for mind!

Today's sunlight is covered by cheerfulness
From now on,
The earth is purified
Today
The flowers have promised not to fall off
Universe is drifting into the unblemished delight of youth and childhood
The squirrels are getting excited
Everybody is cherishing the colour of festival right now
The fear of tigers has been vanished from the minds of deer
The sunny sky is smiling with joy
The atmosphere is serene and secure
Heaven has come to this planet
The sins have evaporated.

Being a WOMAN
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
Being a woman
is a wonderful experience
It feels
as though
being a rosy rose
in the nicely perfumed garden

A woman's power
is her
patience
A woman's passion
is her compassion
A woman's strength
is her kindness
A woman's beauty
is her decency
Cruelty
is not for women


A woman loves to be
loyal,loving
and caring

By nature
women are
poetically
romantic
Being a woman means a lot to me...

Sinbad The Sailor
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
Passing countless
seas
and the oceans
His sailing ship drifts
in a horizontally long distance
The indigo sky and the
colour of the ocean harmonize
He listens to the dolphin's
songs
with rapt attention
The fears of storms,
whales
and sharks
completely evaporate
Handsome
Sinbad
forgets
to cast anchor
The fears
of storms,
sharks
and whales
completely evaporate
He has a fascination with the waves
The albatrosses
and the seagulls
keep Sinbad company
Lots
of treasures
are hidden
in
the oceans
Sinbad is frenziedly searching
for these
A mass
of blue water reflects
in the eyes
of the audacious
sailor




The ship peregrination
of Sinbad is longer than
the Arabian
Nights.

Light and Shade
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
The succession of well and woe is constantly occurring
Human life experiences
loneliness
There is no exception
Pain
is someone's constant companion
Pleasure is not for all
Sorrow is true
Contentment is imaginary
It's human nature to day dream about sheer delight
Nobody wants obscurity
In spite of that
darkness is inevitable
But
A glimmer of hope emerges from a cloud
At that very moment
we breathe a sigh of relief.

Soft Nothings
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
I've solaced by you
I treasure your amour
I know you dote upon me
A blessed feeling!
A wave of bliss is blowing in every nook and cranny


I become soulful
My mind is bubbling over with this romantic comedy


I'm trying to speak
But I'm silent
My eyes are telling you the truth


I'm thrilled with joy by fits and starts
This starlit time is luminescence
May the time stop flying!
The allaying fatigue and mitigating sorrow time
Please, don't fly!


Let's have a candlelit dinner
Let's go for a long drive
Let's have a barbecue
Let's cut a cake and celebrate
My heart desires for festivity


Now,
I'm free from stress and difficulties
I'm smoothly spending time
I never felt so light and buoyant before
The time is laudable

Dream Man

You're the heady perfume of a bunch of tuberoses

the polar star is devoted to you
My life without you
is meaningless
through and through.

The Gloaming Once Again
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
Depression has eternally descended in the ether
Dust,dusk,dullness and darkness are trying to gather
The ghosts are setting out for the adventure
Oh dear!

The oysters are hiding their pearls
Evening primroses are starting their prayers


The whisper and the whistle of the mauve twilight are being felt
Emptiness and silence are being smelt

A Globetrotter
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
I experienced the vicissitudes of Asia
Blue blood of Europe
The aboriginality of Africa
And the mysteries of America


I soaked my feet in the water of  the nameless rivers
I moistened by the waves of bays, the seas and the oceans
The sapphire of the blue Nile won my heart
I splashed the cold waters of the Mare Darling on my face
I was astounded to see the orange river,the lake Titicaca, Victoria and Niagara falls


I saw the radiance of the icy Himalaya in the bright sunlight
I was completely spellbound by the splendour of the Olympus and the Kilimanjaro


During the day in a desert my feet got burnt by the heat of the sand
I stared at a handsome horseman
dressed in black in a wonderful starry night


I glanced at the seven wonders and the world heritage
I was hypnotized by the skyscrapers in the mega city
The tidy countrysides which were green with crops and vegetation brought peace to my mind


I enjoyed the companionship of Eskimos,penguins ,seals and polar bears in the polar region


Aurora borealis and aurora australis fascinated me


In orbit the annual motion
around the sun
and the diurnal rotation of the earth on its axis
I'm travelling around the world


I do not have my own home
The whole globe is my motherland

Venus and Adonis
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
My Adonis,
If you were the morning
I'd be the morning star

If you were the evening
I'd be the evening star
I'd stay above the horizon
Where
the shy sky and the lovelorn land surprisingly snog
The surroundings without fog
I'd become vesper
like a silver
sequin

If you were the scorching sun
I,
Venus would go around you
I'd melt
Or rather
I'd be a stunning sunflower
I'd gaze at you
Yours
Forever
Venus
William Shakespeare's "Venus and Adonis" is one of my favourite poems :)

Soul-Searching
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
I find the gratification of Count Dracula inside a glass of whiskey
When I see a boy wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt
Instead of that I discover him dressed in bark of the Paleolithic period
The green top of a damsel looks like a cinder which is burnt by a severe conflagration
I feel global warming into an avalanche
I explore the revenge of Satan in the vision of a young man who has come to Massachusetts for higher studies
I experience a pit of black hole in conspicuous stars


Inter alia,
The variegated notions of metaphysics come to the deep observations.

Sonorous Symphony
Farah Taskin Jul 2021
The chirp of a sparrow
The sibilant sound of a magpie robin
Cooing of the dove
A swish of light wind
The sound of the flow of a river
The harmonious buzz of bees
The rustling of flowers
An echo spreading over all quarters
The music of a cascade
The roaring of clouds
The calling of the seas
The sound of daybreak
The mysterious mutter in the dead of night!
The classic hum of my mum
(I'm engrossed in these)
