Monotonous July
Farah Taskin Jul 2021
It drizzled
It's mizzling
It'll rain

The sky is sunless
Natheless
It's not alone
The sky has tender clouds
Unlike me
The sky
is never lonely

July has the musical concert
of rain

My Sixth Sense
Farah Taskin Sep 2021
Nobody knows
I'm a detective
I'm constantly
engaged in
unveiling
the secrets
Everyday
I solve a puzzle
I bring light
to a complex mystery
I'm not such famous
as
Miss
Marple
I'm an unknown detective.

Ashura
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
The day of the formation
and the destruction
of the earth
An eventful day
The desolate plain
of Karbala
and the grey waters
of the Euphrates
remain
unforgettable

She Wants Herself
Farah Taskin May 2023
she Remembers herself
she can't Avoid complications, negative people
she didn't Complain to anyone
she somehow Struggles.......
she Has to struggle for life
she Knew that she was not a robot
she had Likes and Dislikes
sometimes she Misses her own tune
sometimes she Misses her own emotion

Solipsism

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)

the Depth of Freedom
Farah Taskin Feb 2022
The golden silence touches me
The melodious tune rekindles my aspiration
I relish a delicious aroma delightedly
I have the strange intention
I become a gazelle and run after the mirage
Time is a relentless river
It flows on
I don't care a fig

PALESTINE
Farah Taskin May 2021
When will  everything  be fine
             For the helpless people of Palestine?
             Why happiness is forbidden for them?
             For humankind this is a big shame!
              They couldn't celebrate this Eid
             It makes 'em bleed
             I always dream about a peaceful Palestine
            There will be heavenly sunshine.
Stop violence against innocent people.

Sunless Sunday

I do savour

the pitter-patter

how to be Happy
Farah Taskin Sep 2023
Feel fossils
Prioritize dinosaurs like a paleontologist
Aim like an ambitious mountaineer
Explore mountains
Try to touch your dreams
Ignore glochids
Notice the patterns of cacti

Keep in mind
since we are human beings
the superego will be the winner
good things will defeat bad things
sooner or later
After all, life is too short to be unhappy.

Lovesick
Farah Taskin Jan 2022
Can you count the stars
of the heavens
Can you count the waves
of the oceans
I know you can't
So
You can't understand
how much I need
you


You're the painkiller
of my heartache
You're the faith healer
You're the address
of my happiness


I see my dreams
in your eyes
My clouds scud across
your skies


I wanna be your soft blanket
I wanna be your denim jacket
I want to be yours

When you feel cold
I'm there for you  
to hold
you in my arms
If you feel sad
I'll try my best
to make you glad

Why are you always
in my mind
Will you ever be mine

Urban Ballad
Farah Taskin Jun 2021
A shiny and tidy city
And a metropolitan highway
The mesmeric magnolia trees
The beautiful bogainvilleas
The fairy tales
Of heartthrobs
The romance
Between a dreamy damsel
And a good looking guy
The vanilla lifestyle of
The middle classes
The angels of mercy are sitting
In the balconies of the rich
The endless waiting for
The dawning of good fortune
Of the poor
Summer rain
Autumn winter
And spring
Change its grace
At night
It's decorated with
Fairy lights
Everyone
Is dazzled by its fascination
During day.
I enjoy the diversity.

cloudlets~fairy tales
Farah Taskin May 2023
a cluster of cloudlets coruscates

silver cloudlets wing across the cobalt firmament

I watch with amazement

they're as delicate as unclad cygnets

they're as transparent as crystal clear water

they're as pure as snowdrop buds

they're as bright as the Hesper


I wish I were a cloudlet~

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

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 :)

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 :)

HE loves us
Farah Taskin Jun 2022
The Creator doesn't give us misfortunes
HE is very merciful
Be grateful


Think clearly
Only
humans are responsible for pain, sadnesses and sorrows
Sometimes
they harm themselves
Sometimes
they harm others
Misdeeds ruin life

Refugees
Farah Taskin Nov 2021
"Only the wearer knows
where the shoe pinches"
Unfortunately
the self-centred societies
don't care about them
Consequently
their sufferings are being unnoticed
The increasing rate of refugees
is aggravated by violence.

MY BELOVED
Farah Taskin Jul 2021
In my mind's sky there is a star
Who shows heavenly light upon my tears
Is my dear
Often I imagine
You come
to my sweet dreams
Beneath a ******* tree,
beside the silver brook
At that moment the red roses of my love begin to bloom
Perhaps we'll meet one day
Perhaps we'll never meet
So we leave our luck to destiny

The Elixir of Love
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
Life such as a plant requires love like water
Love can create a good mood
Loveless life is extremely miserable
The sweetness of love can fulfil life
True love is magical!

Perfect Pitch
Farah Taskin Sep 2021
Don't you know?
Time is never slow
Don't you feel?
Fire of love is a thrill
Sweet words can heal
Don't you hear?
The melody of a prayer



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

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.

The flame

heart

BREAKING NEWS
Farah Taskin Apr 13
The news was new, surprising,
as well as not boring
The flying carpet came with the magic lamp

My town has altered
Sometimes I can't recognise it
Selfishness seems to me
like the darkness of the abyss

Genies ring the doorbell
ding ding ding ding ding

I ask myself, what's  wrong?
Finally I sang a sad song.

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 :)

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.

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.

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

Farah's Mind
Farah Taskin Jun 2021
Her mind is deeper than the
          Mariana Trench
     And more infinite than
               Outer space
     Even she doesn't know
           The mysteries
            Of her heart
Her heart is the eighth wonder!
              In her thought
       She's an astronaut or a
                 Cosmonaut
               Occasionally
       She's a stargazer or an
                 Astronomer
              At the same time
  She dives into the vast blue
                    Ocean
      She loves scuba-diving
       She cherishes snorkelling
                  Right now
               Her mind is
                      Darkly
                      Cloudy
      ­          But she knows
           Her mind will become
      Stunningly sunny soon
         When she feels alone
        Her heart talks to the
                  Southern wind
      Her heart's sonata is known
                   By nobody
                Her mind contains
                  Poetic imagery
                      Metaphors
                         Similes
                    Alliteration
                Iambic pentameters
                     Nostalgia
                       Conflicts
                         Stimuli
                       Cumulus
                 Inner lexicon
                       And so on
Her heart is as strange as the
                        Universe
My mind is the wonderful creation of the Almighty . I'm extremely thankful to Him.

An Elegy
Farah Taskin May 2021
The Gaza Strip-
The visible symbol of sadness
In this place
The lives of children are valueless
The lives of humans are valueless
Tears are useless
How worthless
Human life is!
Again and again
Bomb explosions
A gloomy sky
Those who feel for others
Those who believe in humanity
Are depressed dreadfully.
Save children,save humans
