Infinatum

•

…this is an ecstatic poem echoing the mystic tradition…

their fire and light
incandesce my essence
burn deep my soul
stir my spirit
unsettle my being
ignite my wonder

and whet my seeker’s vessel
with need to be filled full

at once familiar
yet exotically foreign
strangely boxed
but exquisitely wrapped
in longing
loss
love
and infinitely more

they reach to a hollow place
deep within
echoing a past
awakening a myth
exposing that which I embrace
in the moment
as truth

stirring my pain
my loneliness
my hope

offering just enough answer
that I combust with questions
sacred uncertainties

suspended in inquiry
in memories of neverwas
recognition of evermore
enrapt in blissful cognizance
of that which is not known

I am transfixed by mystery
elevated by insight
impaled by vision

spellbound

  1. I love “offer just enough answer that I combust with questions” and “suspended in inquiry”. What a delightful group of words. As you said, spellbinding.

  2. Rob,
    I really appreciate your style, word choices, and drawn expressions. Infinatum…on going wonder.

    Glad to see Kathleen…the poem is a lovely tribute and expression of your lovely wife.

    O’ to joy of life…thank you for sharing your gifts and talents.

  3. “that which I…” amazing how the infinitum sentence leaves open all possibilities. I like that. Since grouped in the Truth column leaving all inner worlds exposed “Infinitum” continues on without need to end it all with the last word. Nice to keep us guessing, Rob! Yes, just maybe I would say “am” after “I” as Truth is the Great “I am”…or G*d. Maybe I would fill in the next word but no, I like it, or rather I love how you get to make any of many possibilities open-ended like the word; “Infinitum”. All words combine here but once crossed over that “…” or continuation of the infinitum (?)space in the world of words with meaning and the yet unspoken and chaotic universe. Very inspirational Muse of Many and Poet Laureate Rob!

  4. Life will always remain a mystery and a beautiful subject to dissect!

    And what makes it more exciting is the fact that we remain spellbound by mysteries that we unravel!

    Very very exciting poem Rob!
