POEM STARTER
Write a ghazal about someone you miss.
Ghazals are an ancient Arabic poetic form that consists of a minimum of five couplets, with each line of the couplet ending with the same word. They are usually about the beauty of love in spite of sadness.
You.
How do I begin to describe my feelings for you
I do not know what is real and what is right when I think of you
Am I a fool, to throw away the closet Iāve gotten to love, you
Or am I wise, to avoid a snake in disguise: you
During possibly the worst times in my life I met you
Or perhaps the best, I canāt recall, I felt I was finally happy when I met you
During my psychosis, and euphoric states I thought of you
I donāt remember what I did, that drove me further away from you
Except being the obvious, out of control, manic idiot that probably embarrassed you
Will you ever forgive me? Will I ever forgive you?
The future is uncertain, and I canāt tell if I want you
Or perhaps the idea of you
Whatever it is, I canāt shake the feeling I lost out on you
For some reason, even though you made me hate you
I still remember those moments where I couldāve loved you
