Hello everyone… how are you all doing today??

Today’s poem was originally supposed to be a Ghazal (pronounced Guzzle); but then I started writing and I lost the whole poetic scheme, so I just kept on writing till I felt I had written something worthy of blogging lol.

My friend reckons I could still get away with mine being a Ghazal though. I’ll let you guys be the judge of that.

You can read a few of my favourite Ghazals here and here, and then you can read mine below

Dent not a woman’s heart

For she can love you a little less

Play her not like a game of chess

And keep her valuable like art

…

Handle her emotions delicately

Mere words can penetrate

Be affectionate

Express your words eloquently

…

Engage with her soul

It’s where her affection resides

In there her love for you abides

Sometimes you need not even cajole

…

So dent not her heart

For her love can be a little less

Let your love for her be in excess

And her love for you will be off the chart
