Layla

ineffably
like a rose among dark shadows
hopelessly devoted
shiviti within one garden of the law
and most real life, a miracle among miracles
giving all, uniquely effluent, singleminded
heart and soul and might, gently
moving with the night divine
deep deep flames holding heaven
completely moonstruck by the brilliance
of one woman's offering, for you
as pearls of the earth
pepper the imagination with radical love
