Beneath Someone Else’s Sky
A Ghazal of Silent Grief and Unforgotten Love
This ghazal is a soft lament whispered from a heart that never truly let go. The poem captures the hidden echoes of love—how memories cling to places, how absence shapes time, and how the soul continues to beat beneath someone else's world. Through delicate images and restrained sorrow, it speaks of a love that was never loud but never left.
Not in another's eyes, nor in another's voice,
I found no mirror but one heart's choice.
A thousand times I let my heart be free,
Yet it clings to the ground beneath their feet, silently.
One night, I walked through the alley of thought,
Even the moon was breathless—by their shadow caught.
My heart is trapped in a silent, fading scene,
Where someone's quiet grief hides behind what’s seen.
How easily forgets the soul who once held mine,
Yet my heart still beats beneath their sky, by design.

Still Waiting in the Silence
Shafi‘i Mazandarani, a lesser-known 17th-century Persian poet, was a master of quiet sorrow and delicate emotional expression. His poetry often reveals the lingering ache of separation and the silent endurance of love that never fades. In this heartfelt ghazal, the poet speaks to the pain of abandonment and the persistent memory of a beloved who has long since departed. Despite distance and silence, the heart remains loyal, the tears continue, and the beloved’s shadow still fills the home. The poem captures the bittersweet beauty of remembering someone who has forgotten you.
