Lost Road To Kashmir
“Lost Road to Kashmir”
Tenderness arrives
late sometimes
in the 11th hour
soft cashmere
wrapped like a child
love around your knees
pale roses
tease golden grail
visions
blushing again
in the twilight years
on some kind of mission
birds
become
bees
honeyed wings
sweeten the hallucinatory
messages written from Blue Sky
dreams sting
slept-in again
the sleep-of-sleeps
Great heights reached
Mountains test journeys
speaking in strange tongues
multiple choice conversations
with mysterious
Angels
on a Lost road
to Kashmir
strewn with pale roses
tease golden grail
visions
choirs soft-winged
ring like bells
echoing loud
Roza Bal
Summoned
by dreams
curious messages
Tenderness arrives
late sometimes
in the 11th hour

“Mahomet cald the Hill
to come to him.
And when the Hill stood still,
he was neuer a whit abashed,
but said;
If the Hill will not come to Mahomet,
Mahomet wil go to the hil.”
Francis Bacon, 1625
