Hamida Yamin Poet Ghazal

The Splendid Times

Strain not your eyes in the darkness of loneliness
For the deserter has forsaken you
His face is lost in the whirlwind of time
You feel nostalgic about the past splendid times.

Your craving for bygone days to return
Those moonlit nights, those captivating days
Are a history and history doesn’t repeat itself
A fallen dry leaf can’t be put back to the branch

Turn the corner and shed the awesome memories 
Stop the rivulet from flowing through your eyes.
Silence the sound of your crying heart
Spare your soul from the memory´s dart.

Pashang Salehi July 17, 2016 at 1:47 AM Hi Hamida, your poem is very nice but it is not Ghazal. Poetry soup has a good example of ghazal. Check it out.. Hamida Yamin October 19, 2016 at 9:59 AM Thank you for your encouraging comment. My poem is a free verse. I agree it is not a Ghazal. I have'nt tried writing Ghazals in English Language. Regards
