DANCING LAYLA
Recalling moments in ways she danced
Swerved and moved with little steps
While her fragile limbs wobbled
And bones shook

Watch as she leaps into the heavens
See also she is disabled bound
Impossibility tremors through her thighs
Albeit the challenges of weakness

Heaven's host surnmon the intrumentalists
They honour unto her a musical
Of talking feet and flaying arms
Such beautiful tunes the angels give her

With numb fingers I write
Her novel of dreams and escapades
Also of laughing bells and smooth paths
With emblems of love and flowery fonts

I look up and see her dance
Amongst fluffy clouds and pink sky
And the heavens placed warm forts
And sadness could do her no harm

I smile but her smile is more radiant
As radiant as a gazillion stars
Her hair shone honeycomb and sprinkles
And I close my eyes as I become jealous of the fiction she held

But now her merriment haunts me
Her laughter trickles through my mind
Whenever I shut my eyes to sleep
And I recall moments in ways she danced
