Autumn Passed Through Your Eyes

This ghazal reflects on the quiet beauty of waiting. Set against an autumn backdrop, it explores how memory lingers long after a loved one has gone. Through falling leaves, fading sunlight, and distant horizons, the poem captures the fragile connection between hope and remembrance.

Autumn wandered through the landscape of your eyes,

And leaf by leaf, my heart surrendered to its skies.

The weary sun lingered upon the evening wall,

As the thought of your return drifted through it all.

The sea grew silent at the whisper of your name,

Traveling toward distant mirrors wrapped in blue flame.

I remain beside a window open to the unknown,

Waiting for a breeze carrying memories once known.
