The Ghazal of the Storyteller

A couple of weeks ago, dVerse introduced the Ghazal. And I was enthralled. But I could not come up with a single nugget of inspiration. Well, tonight, my muse came a-waltzing, and here is my offering for anyone who cares to drop by. Thank you, Samuel.

Out of darkness, comes forth the storyteller 

And they cry out loud - Oh please, storyteller

Spin us a legend,  take us to the heavens

We crave your words like a disease, storyteller

I unleash the tale of the Persian Slave

And give them their fill of the whiz storyteller

Of tortured forbidden love with Noureddin

They cry, Oh what sublime bliss, storyteller

The tales of the Arabian Nights never end

Only the Caliph, can give his leave, storyteller

I smile and say, I will stay all night my friend

I, ninotaziz,  Caliph's storyteller.
