Vigour and vim in our dream
You come, proper and prim to dream,
False as real I’ve to deem in dream.
How long this grim façade can go?
To you it won’t so seem-- our dream,
But too much ‘tis for me to bear,
My pain spills over rim from dream.
To help me O come, rise like cream,
Let not grim, fun like seem in dream.
A work ‘tis of a twosome team
To make it all of vim-- our dream.

Ghazal |21.10.2024|dream, humour
Poet’s note: This is a light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek ghazal that takes ‘our dream’ as its radif or refrain. Its qafia also rhymes with radif. The whole ghazal is on the same theme, i.e., dream. The first four couplets are said by the suffering woman, the last one by the man. The pattern followed is AA/BA/CA/DA/EA.
