The Bloom After You

This ghazal delves into the transcendent memory of a beloved whose presence has imprinted itself on the soul’s very elements—wind, silence, and dream. The poet captures the intimate dance between pain and beauty, absence and eternal presence, in a landscape where emotion becomes nature itself.

In the dream of you, my night outshone the moon’s embrace,

Your gaze, a balm, for wounds no remedy could trace.

When your rain-filled eyes fell gently upon my land,

My barren soul bloomed—like a desert kissed by hand.

Each breeze that passed whispered only your name,

And every leaf within my heart became a page aflame.

Your silence held more fire than a thousand cries,

A blaze that burned unbound beneath the quiet skies.

You left, but your footsteps linger in memory’s dome,

Like a song that swirls in the whirlpool of a poem.
