LET THERE BE NO MORE OF IRE: a ghazal

LET THERE BE NO MORE OF IRE: a ghazal



Let there be no more of ire.
At last, let there be cease fire.

For a few words ill spoken,
Why wreck the mental empire?

Why blindly shoot from the hip?
There is no urgency dire.

Throw out the vile anger and
Bring in emotions higher?

Khalish be soft, yet inside,
A veritable live wire.
