That Grey

.

Let me ruminate a minute
            and pose
     for the portraiture

           The sylph
    whisking about me
        in my dreams
       fluttering about

       She kissed me
         on my cheek
    she put a mirror to
            my face

 Yes it was I with auburn
                hair
      with auburn beard

Remember when I focused...

           on that grey

The subject of the personal personality gives your mind wings ... some in there inspires and enriches you ... you can write too much in this area to delight a reader without end ... great write!

yes i remember in the other poem you focused on grey hair,sometimes we try to see reflections of people we dont see through the mirrors of our minds,this time its brownish red hair and brownish red beard,younger feeling in this poem,still the grey seems to be always somewhere floating around,maybe representing a mature person?did i get it,trying too read my friends minds through verses is difficult at times when they have such intelligence,i love your style here--cheers;-)
