Love Beyond Keeping Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBCB DEFGHIJKLMNOPQG

She had a boxA
with a million red bandanas for himB
She gave them to himB
one by one or by thousandsC
saying then she had not enough for himB
-
She had languages and landscapesD
on her lips and the end of her tongueE
landscapes of sunny hills and changing fogsF
of houses falling and people within fallingG
of a left handed manH
who died for a woman who went out of her mindI
of a guitar playerJ
who died with fingers reaching for stringsK
of a man whose heart stoppedL
as his hand went out to put a pawn forwardM
on the fifth day of one game of chessN
of five gay womenO
stricken and lostP
amid the javelins and chantsQ
of love beyond keepingG
