I unravelled this “World” Mile by glorious mile From the tops Of every “Goliath” To the depths Of each “Ocean” And it showed me A new “World” One of ceaseless wonders And the threads of “New life” Like me, yet To reach maturity But that bore So many bruises Of indulgence That you seemed To scream to me “Rape me no more”
I unravelled the “Universe” Galaxy upon galaxy Until your infinity Was no longer Beyond my comprehension And travelled from star To star Planet beyond planet And every single Moon Released to me The font of knowing And all your mysteries Became a reality That my very comprehension, Absorbed, as if The “Universe” Had adopted me As its “Long lost” Forgotten brother
I unravelled, “You” Inch By desirable inch Exploring All of your beauty Until You had no more To yield And this to me Was a new “Universe” Where all comprehension Came in “Waves” Of pure pleasure And “Crashed” Upon the beach Of all my being And my knowledge Became so much The greater For had I now, Finally reached That “Maturity” That we so desperately Seek But to me You still remain The unfathomable mystery And out of all the three “You” Are the height Of my ecstasy

About this poem:
I leave you with my swansong, I am taking a long sabbatical to finish my children's novel I started last year and need to get back to to finish. I shall be gone for 6-12 months, but pop in from time to time to read the poems here. I shall not post or comment but this does not mean I shall not enjoy what I see. I wish you all well and may your future journey bring you all you desire. Adios para ahora mi amigo's/amiga's Rob xx
Deep stuff..it'll take a long minute to digest this one...have a good one

Su no Adiós le veré atrás con más gemas en el verso. Leí sus poemas pero debo encontrar palabras dignas de ellos, piensan en usted mi freind, pueden su libro es un magnífico un.Dios le bendice.
Hi, trurorob, Although the author is Unravelling his children's novel, I thank the poet for leaving us with this marvelous gift with its “Maturity” That we so desperately Seek. There is so much wisdom and mystery that comes from within. Thanks for sharing yours with us.
