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 Iā€™ve 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 canā€™t recall, I felt I was finally happy when I met you During my psychosis, and euphoric states I thought of you I donā€™t 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 canā€™t tell if I want you Or perhaps the idea of you Whatever it is, I canā€™t 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 couldā€™ve loved you
