Faleeha Hassan Poems

Tonight
When I entered my apartment
The stairs were lying like tired men after a hard day's work
The door a yawning mouth
...

Faces of love
Do not carry me in your hand
Like a small bird wet with rain drops
Love is a traumatic experience
...

In Nights of War
My mother forced us to go to sleep before sunset
She told us
The warning siren will take the sleep from your eyes
...

After forty years of snow
Do you remember the watch you gave to me wrapped in a poem?
It is still bound to my soul's meaning
The more time passes
...

Oh, my god
This poem!
Whenever I try to make her stand on the reality line
She flutters like Marilyn Monroe's dress in the imaginations of men
...

Credible lies
Oh, Faleeha
How brilliant is your future
I whisper in my ear
...

When I drink tea in New Jersey
Like a girl who writes poetry about a boy she has never seen My day sits with all this disappointment
Counting her fleeting moments
I remember my mother using the smell of onions
...

I'm crying
Not because you squeezed my heart and threw it like a sponge into desert,
Yes, I'm crying but not because you did not smile at me
but your teeth look whiter than white when you saw a woman's shadow pass you,
...

Two soldiers
Let's celebrate
Let us run to that hill
Let us climb up the remains of that tank and sing
...

On the back seat
She sat close to him
And he was trying to reduce the distance between them
But her bag was there
...

The poet
Imagine yourself without poetry
Than
Your life would-be like this
...

I can't be an angel
As you requested
The feather I had been saving for the past year
From the slaughtered ducks
...

My Guest
There is nothing more important than you, my guest
I will delay my sickness until you leave
And I will cover my sadness with a big smile
...

• My Dangerous Memory
Oh, great
Whenever I dream of birds
The cages fly above my head
...

Means you walk with a mute dignity
And because the touch has a memory, you can no longer make another one,
No sea can reveal to you the joy of its flowing and its every wave is shackled with corpses and identities of drowned people, no land will welcome your shy steps.
To be a refugee
...

The Best Poem Of Faleeha Hassan

Tonight

Tonight
When I entered my apartment
The stairs were lying like tired men after a hard day's work
The door a yawning mouth
My TV was listening intently to the sports newscast
And
Like a huge fat woman, the couch was sitting on the floor
Hardly breathing the used air
The curtain tickled the cheek of the window………
Swaying gracefully above
My books slept like babies on the hands of the bookshelves
The dining table was listening to the whispers of her chairs
The lamps were winking at to each other
The fan was busy flailing her arms indifferent
In my apartment
The life looks the same as I left it
Everything is normal
No,
It is more than normal
Strange………
No one missed me?
