I Closed My Eyes To Creation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEGHIJKLMNOPQI closed my eyes to creation when I beheld his beauty I became | A |
intoxicated with his beauty and bestowed my soul | B |
For the sake of Solomon s seal I became wax in all my body | C |
and in order to become illumined I rubbed my wax | D |
I saw his opinion and cast away my own twisted opinion I | E |
became his reed pipe and likewise lamented on his lip | F |
He was in my hand and blindly I groped for him with my | E |
hand I was in his hand and yet I inquired of those who were | G |
misinformed | H |
I must have been either a simpleton or drunk or mad that | I |
fearfully I was stealing from my own gold | J |
Like a thief I crept through a crack in the wall into my own | K |
vine like a thief I gathered jasmine from my own garden | L |
Enough do not twist my secret upon your fingertips for I have | M |
twisted off out of your twisted fist | N |
Shams e Tabriz from whom comes the light of moon and | O |
stars though I am grieving with sorrow for him I am like the | P |
crescent of the festival | Q |
