A Layla Majnun Exposition No.2



22. Before I ever saw…


Before I ever saw henna flowers

Appear on her hands,

My heart was already

In her hands.


Before I ever saw the ring

Adorn her finger,

My heart was already wrapped

Around her finger.



O’ Layla!

I was yours,

Before I ever knew

You existed

And your Love assured me
<>
Of my own existence.

No. 22 is from the current and untitled chapter. The picture is courtesy of Balqies Arafia Zaed, a young but talented photographer. Her website is on the Poet link, because, though she would be the first to deny it, she takes pictures poetically.
