HERE LIES, A FLOWER

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I just felt like writing this. Got the idea from my cousin when she said "A flower is born" im not a professional poet or anything. But i like to write them sometimes. Open for interpretation. I thought of love, or a relationship rather.

THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUE LOVE

Author's Notes/Comments: 

QAIS: Famous as Majnoon (Arabic for a mad man/possessed soul) who loved and died as a lonely wanderer in the deserts. His beloved is known as Laila.
MAJNOON: Arabic/Persian/Urdu word for a mad/crazy/possessed man.

Readers please note again that this is a ghazal...an eastern form/trend of poetry where the topic and theme are love and the beloved. As I have mentioned earlier, each verse in a ghazal, is independent in thought than the other...even though modern-day ghazal writers have modified the ancient classic trend.
