The Unwinding Road Poem by Emeka GOC

The Unwinding Road

Love is a profound and a breath-taking grace,
A shield that protects the heart's fragile place
It moves with compassion, passion and with closeness and care,
Nourishing the soul and bodily flaws we must bear

In connection and bonding, it makes us grow bold,
A cooling balm when the world turns chaotic and cold
Love is no theory, no fairy-tale nor abstract decrees;
It lives in the truths and actions of the Beatitudes' peace.


It shines through the spirit, in fruits that it bears,
Yet wears many heads in the complex emotions it shares
It is sinless, surreal, and unbound by all time,
A natural vault, a succure in the family line

Relational, relative, even woven in blood,
From parent to child flows this intimate flood
A language authentic, unfaltered and universally known,
It thrives in the jungle and deserts alone.


Tested by trial, unconditional pure and true,
From passionate romance, it blooms anew
Deepening devotion through sorrow and tears,
To forge a fierce friendship that outlasts the years.

Yet love is a mythos, a mystry, a fierce, sacred force,
Uprooting the structures that block its true course
No disruptive chaos, but cosmic and creative design,
Iconic, legendery yet gentle; destructive, divine


The greatest of gifts cutting deep through the past,
Across cultures and ages, a symbol built to last
An unraveling story, a shape we trace true
Let us emanate love, and let it remake you.
