Ghazal
Your beautiful words spread like
Chanel Number Five.
The few syllables I utter, fall flat and nowhere close to the Famous Five.
When you speak, it is perfection, a clear five by five.
When I utter, it is nonsense, just empty boloney five.
You are love’s very essence, where tender feelings strive
I am not even the starting point, maybe just one divided by five.
You are Rumi’s verse, Each line a treasure fine,
Me, a senseless cacophony, times five.
You may be everything but for Prachi,
you aren’t Chanel Number Five!
