After Searching for my Beloved


After Searching for my Beloved

Shattered in tears
I left Damascus
The once home to him
I confessed on that threshold
That my Love killed you
My lust for fame was at last quenched
When the well drank
Your blood
My schizophrenic thoughts
Ventured far beyond Mt. Kaf
My dark soul
Usurped the Protector
They called me mystic
While I was dancing in fear
My namesake turned nemesis
Disclosed my secret
O Rumi…
Shield me from myself
