Layla suffered from Cotards Delusion. No one could convince her that she was not deceased. She lay in her bed, prone and stiff for hours. Believing herself a corpse. We all tried to wake her or disturb her. But Layla was fully into her dead role. I am dead, she thought. Determined to be. Layla refused to talk or move. She would not...

I yearn for the arms of that lover. Maybe if she embraced me, it would all be over. These days just seem to get colder, though sober, no longer see the point. I don’t know what comes after her, maybe there won’t be mountains of fire, I won’t bathe in honey and fly in eternal desire. Maybe it will be silence, darkness, but...

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.

And for reasons unfathomed I love as much still Beauty beyond compare to me Simple in thought But complex in love Years of remorse have run their course They have worn me down I admit, I deserve no more For as i guess oft happens A fool will hurt himself Where is she now? I wonder Does she sleep alone...
