Wine-glass

Here is a Ghazal -- Its form is well defined, you can find out more on it at the Ghazal Page.

Touch your lip, to the lip, of my wine-glass
Place a kiss, on the tip, of my wine-glass

Drowned deep in Ink, the Page is Parched
Tell the Pen, to take a sip of my wine-glass

Parting the Sea may be a work of Might
Dreamless isn’t the kip of my wine-glass

"Many-a-slip betwixt cup and lip"
Perilous is the trip of my wine-glass

‘Your sins are washed’, wicked Ahmed cries
‘Forgiven all, with a nip off my wine-glass'
