Ghazal for Rumi

"Ray Incantation"Caroline Gerardo Copyright April 22, 2011GHAZAL for Rumi Love Poems On Rain


Photograph underwater, a Bay of Biscayne.
Your email was intended to cause me pain.
Pretend your label, University at Duquesne.
Millions of "I" words your important domain.
An assault upon my weak cheek, a coup de main.
Salt water flows equaling my poor cystic veins.
Tell girlies your fabrications until you wane.
Memories of you, the great pharoah, I retain.
Come clean without fear of the rain.
Despite the horror, I ask, maintain.
