Grinning Ghazal

Grinning Ghazal


Sunrise, through the glass window, I glance at your face
Breathing softly, a summer breeze, romance on your face

Every lover finds freedom at the soaring statue
Where liberty ignites the torch of France on the face

High rollers get lucky at this roulette wheel
Where balls, like hot lovers, take a chance on the face

Evening, on the promenade, couples murmur
And stroll, arms locked in embrace, a trance on the face

Cupid’s fire burns. We sweat until we bead, heated up
By the flaming arrow archers lance in the face

Lift me up, darling, in your hot air balloon, to the moon
Which smiles like a Cheshire cat, we’ll dance on its face!
