Even Life... Ghazal Part 1

Missing dreams, to wisp into fade;
To everything... in time must fade.

On window sill, a flicker to bade;
To everything... in time must fade.

Bottled emotions, darkened, grayed;
To everything... in time must fade.

Twisted, turning, entwined, cliched;
To everything... in time must fade.

Accept what comes, be unafraid;
To everything... in time must fade.

Smoke filled bottles, capped, allayed;
To everything... in time must fade.

Replacing candle, life's charade;
To everything... in time must fade.
~~~~

Balancing Life... Ghazal Part 2

Replace candle, as wick shall fade;
A light to lead, as old will fade.

Melting wax, burns thoughts conveyed;
Past to now, a time of fade.

And of the mind, You do invade;
Static never, in moments fade.

To grasp to hold, the leave delayed;
Bottled emotions, old to fade.

Poetic words that serenade;
"Once Upons" that seemed to fade.

Reliving those of masquerade;
To everything... in time must fade.

To be a part of life's crusade;
Balancing life, yours/mine, two fade.

* a Ghazal is a poetic form....if anyone is interested..Ghazal Sonnets (pronounced guzzle)

The Ghazal exists throughout the whole
of the Moslem world having originated as an Ottoman poetry form and as that religion spread so did it’s poetry.Ghazal is a series of couplets each one capable of standing alone as a poem.* I didn't do so good with that on this poem)The first couplet is called the matla or the place where the heavenly body rises.This couplet also sets the meter of the poems and the rhyming pattern. In the true Ghazal, the last word/s of both lines of the couplet must be the same. Similarly, the last line of the following couplets must also end with the same word/s. Modern Ghazals seem only to rhyme these last words. Although the Ghazal can be of any length, it lends itself to the Sonnet and it will satisfy those who like to write in couplets also.
