[منى عرب]

She was dancing
in her pink dress
shaking all silent rocks
within my lonely heart

my desert days
are dark and lonely
thirsty


Liala who are you
tell me
a dream

always riding trains of sadness
jogging quickly
disappearing

to give winter days a present Liala
give it the flames of my heart
let them ascend to end my desert nights

give the desert flowers of spring
with your smile a promise
and from my heart take the scent of jasmine


you bring me the dream of rain
as you bring life to gardens in the desert
my heart will share its gift with you

my thirst tortures me
hold out your palms Liala
filled with pure water

let me drink of your dancing ,Liala
to cool the burning of my longing
until it overflows
