Ilya Shambat Poet Iambic Pentameter

Universe's Groom

I fall, completely open,

As though born anew,

Into the light - and hope 

Into the good - and true.


Drinking into my spirit

Treacle of trails - and trees,

Vanquishing every fear and

Blessing the bliss - and breeze.


Looking in strangers' faces

With an enlightened smile,

With angels trading places

To be them for awhile,


Basking in timeless sunshine -

Standing, head full of stars -

Feeling galactic passion -

From here - and to Mars;


Looking at women dancing

Seeing their spirits bloom

Evening and night romancing -

Universe! I'm your groom!


I have become a poet.

That means, I'm in love

With everything I know, and

My spirit, like a dove


Soars in the skies and clouds

There to avail of light:

Sinful and yet devout -

In there I take flight -


Telling the world: Hello,

It's like we have first met:

What you are, I don't know,

But I do not regret


Seeing you as you're now

And as you're yet to be:

Great gifts that you bestow

Which I at last can see -


Universe! In your essence

Lives all that's good and true

And after all the lessons

I've come to facing you:


You, in your daylight splendor!

You, in your gorgeous night!

And to you I surrender

That I in you take flight!


Shine on me, heaven's beauty!

Hold and enfold me, earth!

Waters, by man polluted,

Will flow, clear, from their source -


Flowers and lakes and meadows -

Seagulls and butterflies -

Forms, silhouettes, and shadows -

With newly opened eyes


I see you in your essence;

And, as if born anew,

Rich with your incandescence,

I fall in love with you.
