(mostly) short poems on life and love

a ghazal

February 22, 2018 by Michael Guerin

rumi’s ghazal 441 so skillfully mixed
with techno-pop beats weaves a haunting,

divine and indescribably sweet spell
which washes over me. visions of another age

slowly rise from the sands of time
and dance before my mind. barely recalled,

i crave to witness my beloved’s face
through the veil, her words etched

upon this restless heart, yet surprisingly near
to all i hold dear as her pale green eyes

pierce the distance and lock deeply into mine.
