Layla and Majnun

Flower of love bloomed in dunes of desert Besotted Layla carried in niche of her heart It withered in the tribal Arabian harsh summer Unrequited virgin love went to the grave with her. Deranged Majnun wandered in love’s wasteland Etched the requiem of broken heart on desert sand With the parched wind before his last breath was gone He became hers, his poem engraved on her gravestone.
