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
...
