Ridah Tariq Poem
The discomfort of dear soul
Wants elation and manic goal
Intoxication's sport on smokers' spot
Fascinating aromas and Jack Daniels' blot
Strolling out by getting drunk
In your charm I have sunk
A distant melody makes me tremble
In snowy woods my senses assemble
Blizzard transforming the species alike
All wild passions abruptly arrive
Want of Marlboro fades away
Amazed, I throw Dunhill and sway.

Ridah Tariq Poem
The night's here
And the day's away
Let's begin our task
Just dance and sway.
Wind is getting cold
Clouds are gathering again
Let's get really bold
Cause it's going to rain.
The night is about to pass
The day is ready to start
I'm not willing to stop
But the day wanna play its part.

Ridah Tariq Poem
This winter, the dogs are hungrier than ever
And birds get away from the rotten trees
The children abandon the orchard every afternoon
And the street cats wail in the lonely nights
Every dusk of this December, I'll go
sit on the cold bench of my orchard
And look at the withering red roses
Till the last ray of the sun departs
The house above the orchard is deserted
Windows rattle and the doors creak
Rusted doorknobs need oil and keys
But the reading lamp, in the corner, gleams.

Ridah Tariq Poem
Thought by thought
Word by word
Piece by piece
I will put myself together
Because I am reborn
Loud and fiery
Colorful and sane, this time
I will reshape myself
No, I don't need your help
Swaying I will succeed
Laughing I will speak
I will adore myself
Free as a bird
Spirit of the wind
I will adopt
And I will become myself.
