"silence" [ghazal]
I'll settle my score and cross your field of silence
have I lost the war? I'll surrender my shield in silence
did I seek to achieve far too many leaves too swiftly?
was I hoping for a more fruitful yield than silence?
the gracious observe the grace of moderate aims
the ignorant floor the pedal unkeeled from silence
to love one soul is to add its life to your life
who truely adore the world unseal its silence
help me toward small achievements tidying chaos
ambitions have torn at the fragile peel of silence
the turning spheres desire that we return them
no look forlorn nor broken wheel pure silence
is it easy to please many people? sincerity's balm
is needed & more desire to feel the shared silence
the lord of the world is a mountain hidden from view
we heed his lore amid foothills healed by silence
Ardeo! has luck gone dry? perchance like Achilles
your odious floor needs riparian zeal in silence

Silence does make a nice radiif.
Yes -- though not very original as such; vaguely, I've an idea that in Rumi's Divani-Shamsi-Tabriz [his ghazal collection], there may be many ghazals with that Radif. Though on other hand, maybe he somehow uses "silence" in place of a pen-name in some; a question that would need some looking into.
Anyway, I feel this ghazal of mine is so-so. I much more like the 2 below it & the 2 above it. ;-) (particularly the latest two above). This one I might try to refine a bit, will see.
