The heady perfume of the
Arabian Attars
is
in the air!
A lunar litter
brings Eid
Antimony sulphide
of the downcast eyes
and the pinkish nails
have been painted with henna


Eid is a glorious gift
Bliss is blossoming
The blessings are blooming


The fragrant roses
and the white jasmines
are being elated by
a joyous colour
of the festivity
The nameless
nightingales
are singing the paeans
We're being showered
with Salams
Eid Mubaraks
are echoing
The cheerful children
are being
over the moon
Eid is marvellously nice
and we sacrifice.
Eid has been delightful since my childhood:)

Eid party
Farah Taskin Apr 2023
I was eagerly
waiting for Eid
I felt
happy
looking at
the crescent
moon
Felicity! Felicity!
And Felicity!
Majestic Eid
is the magical
festival
Beautiful morning!
Beautiful noon!
Beautiful evening!
And Beautiful night!
The cosmos has been flooded
with festive light!

Forget Me Not
Farah Taskin Jul 2021
The sparkling stars don't forget the heavens
The spectacular sun doesn't forget to rise


The wind doesn't forget to blow
Rivers don't forget to flow
Glow-worms don't forget to glow


The violin doesn't forget to sound
A lover doesn't forget his beloved

Like that
I want that
You reminisce about
me
I don't want to be forgotten .

an Open Window
Farah Taskin Jun 2022
I was greeted by
unearthly
midnight
or stellar light

I'm hypnotized by
the evening clouds

I espy
the busy
passers-by
or the silly
vagabonds

The round
earth doesn't pause
Proxima Centauri
doesn't pause
Ursa Major
doesn't pause

Colours change
The game
continues

I close my
eyes
This is how I can perceive
the sound
of silence
This is how I meet myself
I'm neither
a nihilist
nor
a hedonist
I'm simply
a monotheist

A gust
of wind blusters
My gossamer
scarf flutters

I open my inquisitive
eyes
I discover the mysterious
scene

the mermaid's necklace
Farah Taskin Jun 2022
a comely mermaid
has
lost
her diamond
necklace

she has
decided
to let
it go

she won't
be happy
without
the briny
breeze

she won't
be happy
without
ultramarine

she won't
be happy
without
the eternal
welkin

she wants
happiness

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..."

Eid's
moon

The charming

The mellifluous

The bottle

dance
with
rapture
The
wondrous
day opens

the Isle of POVEGLIA
Farah Taskin Jan 2023
It was curious
that the horror stories
were not false

Believe it
or not
The pairs of glassy eyes
the horrific shadows
the blazing ignes fatui
the strange cold
the ghostly celebration

Termites, spiders, ants
and bats are alive
the rest are dead

The spectres and the skeletons
roam the island
they were **** sapiens

They exist betwixt
the cryptic hallucination
and the paradoxical illusion
**** sapiens is afraid

Dream Man
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
You're the heady perfume of a bunch of tuberoses
I'm intensely fond of you
You murmur into the silky breeze
I hear your name in the sweet note of a cuckoo


The symbol of immorality-
the polar star is devoted to you
My life without you
is meaningless
through and through.

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

Yes,she's a one sided lover.

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!


Dunes are dancing
Snails are smirking


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

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

Romanticism
Farah Taskin Jul 2021
He was staring at her
She was nervously blushing


Her face was turning crimson
His face was turning golden


His naughty eyes were glinting
Her virginal lips were timidly trembling
She was hearing
her heartbeats


He was drinking in her crimson countenance .
Nowadays a face without a mask can be dangerous...so,don't be so romantic...it's injurious to health!

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

I cherish the rumblings

My distress

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.

An infernal situation

tears Of joy
Farah Taskin Oct 2023
the summer solstice
or the winter solstice
by turns
the sunrise of Tiger hill that is breathtaking
the sunsets are very similar in colours
but the sunset of sea is quite different
I compare its beauty with Helen's of Troy


twilight after twilight
Vitamin D falls in love with Vitamin Sea!
in the watery dark
artistically sinks
the scarlet garnet
Alcyone looks out for Poseidon
I wade courageously in the saltiness
like lucky Neil Alden Armstrong
who moonwalked
so silently on the sea of
tranquility

as a boon the magnetic
moon arrives at last
the irresistible lover attracts
rich water and drives
her crazy
the eternal triangle!
nightly billows chant
romantically
THE UNKNOWN NEBULA
SHEDS TEARS OF JOY!

Behind the Merriment
Farah Taskin Jul 2021
Everyone has unhappiness
A paroxysm of distress
Humans want to cover their unhappiness
Beyond joviality
Beyond laughter
Beyond music
Behind the roistering jubilation
We suppress our sadness
Underneath our liveliness we're stoic
Our hearts don't love sadnesses
We try  to laugh now and again
We ought to laugh for living
We ought to live for laughing
sigh ...
