A POEM DEDICATED TO DESDEMONA : DO NOT BLAME.

BY : Khairi Janbek.

I broke some wood to light a flame
When Khayyam sat drinking with his dame
Who can deny sa'adi's genius fame
Or Ferdossi's eternal language game.

Hallaj's unity with God was the declared aim
Where Rumi's Dervishes whirl in his name
Shamsi Tabriz taught them all just the same
The vicious wild beast within how to tame

Rabbi'a destroyed the idols of shame
Craving heaven and fearing hell as to blame
To be tormented with love is why I came
You are the love of my life, don't leave me lame.
