Gray Cool Rags Time

This baggage will be profound,
en route to a past, where all
presents sound like yesterday, hollows
echoing former times,
where tracing lines lead through valleys
as dipping curves curse me,
rehearse me, traverse me,
waiting for me to trip upon my soul…

I want to seek once more rags of gray, where
finger wisps caress my cheek again,
shuddering goose-bumps to stand in line,
trembling me back to youth,
when sea-mist kissed my eyes,
yes, I want the rags of gray,

those hoary cool rags creating a time
where voices sound from far away
somewhere in the mist…

somewhere in the mist…
so let great curls and curves of wave
sound and pound despair of grave,
for somewhere ashes fed the wind
somewhere ashes fed…

my feet feel close chill morning sand,
eyes closed tight, my hand in hand
between two tall figures, who stand
to bear my weight in lift and flight
and hand me over, to the night…

hand me over, then, to cool gray rags time
come and kiss my cheek, sweet mist,
come and kiss…
let me seek these ribbons cool, rags
of time gray in hands of mine,
as salt comes to sting my lips…
yes, salt will sting my lips.

I will wait for sun to burn away
the gray cool rags of yesterday
and leave my baggage with time.

youth trembles to touch
love voices sound from afar
baggage checked in time

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Oh, this aches in such a soft/sweet way.  Made me think of my Dad.  Being one who visits the past a little too much myself, I do feel the tugs of those waves and the sand beneath my toes.  Someday....someday.  *hugging you, Karilea*......jo

Great poetry gives me chills..
shivering right now....

It only stings, if it lingers on them for a long time.....but then, it's only real if it lingers on them for a long time......

....clearly it has, and will.

Your gift of imagery is so beautiful. This piece so full of longing and beauty both.
Very well done.

love the poetic sound and flow; sweetly sad, if you know what I mean...  Why do we always seen to have the ache of past?

Still working on that song--just can't seem to decide if it's finished or not...

ain't that the truth!!!  You've captured that well...

I want to seek once more rags of gray, where
finger wisps caress my cheek again,
shuddering goose-bumps to stand in line,
trembling me back to youth,
when sea-mist kissed my eyes,

Outstanding girl,,,you make me crave bad times...

Did I say that?

well done and understood, now, if I could only apply this...huh?

Hugs
