When our eyes meet

A complete, conventional ghazal with refrain and maqta. Maqta is the last couplet of a ghazal where the poet puts in his name.

She starts looking away when our eyes meet,
she simply makes my day when our eyes meet.

I commence speaking but I cannot complete
what I wish to say when our eyes meet.

I am resolute to rouse my feelings to her,
however, I stop mid-way when our eyes meet.

My eyes promise me a fixed gaze at her,
these eyes of mine betray when our eyes meet.

I am resolute to gift her flowers 'Vatsal',
I conceal the bouquet when our eyes meet.

Author's Note

A conventional ghazal has at least five couplets with repetitive rhymes and refrain. All the couplets are of equal length and the last couplet includes the poet's name- maqta.

A beautiful poem once again. Love is a strange thing, isn't it? It's so pure, great, and strong, and yet, it can be so very stressful and annoying... actually I had a cat like that, she could be stressful and annoying yet she was very fun, I should have named her love. Sorry, back to your poem, I really liked it. This is one of those poem that everyone could enjoy and relate to, regardless of their taste in poetry.
Well done and keep on writing.

Thanks for the review and, in particular, for talking of your cat. Love is really a strange thing, very perplexed and complicated. Thanks for the encouragement.
