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

Ts Poetry March 23, 2021 at 2:41 PM Time to wake and live life x Lady Labyrinth March 23, 2021 at 2:45 PM When travel opens up, would love to go to Kashmir. I would be one of the most 'awake' people around, still much to live and see - first the multiple choice. There is no right nor wrong answer. Each person has their own answers.
