(swap quatrain form)
"So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.”
E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly
Bereft am I now that you’ve gone.
You took the sunshine from my dawn
and star-shine from the midnight sky.
Now that you’ve gone, bereft am I.
Where heart once was, there’s now a stone.
Away from me all dreams have flown.
All hope’s abandoned me because
there’s now a stone where heart once was.
My sweet relief- my joy you stole.
How cruel has become your soul
to leave me nothing but this grief.
My joy you stole – my sweet relief.
Each empty night, I lie in bed
and think of all that went unsaid.
How could you leave me with this plight?
I lie in bed each empty night.
My nights stretch long when I can’t sleep.
Sometimes I picture you and weep.
Oh, hear my heartbroken love song.
When I can’t sleep, my nights stretch long.

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.

Just what is reality?
Is it what I think I see?
R arely sure of what I’m seeing
E verything perceived differently
A wareness of my surroundings
L earned acceptance of what is
I n thoughts we share the world
T ruth is of your individual belief
Y esterday may be all that’s real
