BLUE EYES: a ghazal

BLUE EYES: a ghazal


I am called by her eyes blue,
Deep and clear like the skies blue.

I will wait for my love till
I see one day moonrise blue.

I know that without me she
Too, in night, often cries blue.

Sometimes I have a dream that
A rose for me she buys blue.

I hope one day she does give
To me such a surprise blue.

Since blue is her pet colour,
I wear silken neckties blue.

Khalish, she's a beauty when
Mascara she applies blue!
