Excuse me, May I borrow me back?

I think it is time
to borrow myself back
from a place I didn't go
with a resolve I lacked
and now is the time
to get myself into place
while I stretch out
to beat my own race…

may I borrow me back?
for a little while?
I need to see again
if that is indeed my smile,
if that is my hair
that I cut myself
and I need to borrow my perfume
there from off my shelf…

it's time for me now
to face an enterprise
and if it could be the starship
it would not disguise
a bit of queer sensation
that's been given to rise

ever since I found this black hole
that's been a huge surprise…

I reckon it's that "crisis"
that faces everyone
the time to decide for
good or bad
if we're having any fun

a year ago I thought quite keen
a warp that I was in
and relegated just myself
to burrow deep in den
and keep myself from thinkin'
but you've been there…
tinkerin'…

and now my mind is brewing
to percolate it does
and just because there are
elephants in the room
doesn't mean it was
time for me to stop thinking
or time for me to quit
so my mind will continue
this racing life's quest
even though I sit.

So I'm going to borrow
me again
from the me that was
and I'm not going to forget
to stop and give me pause…

nor will I ever stop
from the moments of
remember
just because with life again
I'm going to become a
full fledged member….

so there I shall see you
long on down the road
and I will hear again
that aged old rooster in
this life
give a good crow…

for there are many stories
still left here in me
and I think I've just about begun
to climb up the family tree…
and whether silly, or sincere
the message you will read
shall be here…
as will the deed…

whether winsome or sparkling
treasured or withered…

know that if you hear it from me
most likely
all sources
of claim
will be
dithered….

Excellent Karilea...It's great to see the writers here dusting some older ones off and posting them...they are treasures!!
Both the poets and the poems!
Hugs YOU!

it is a song that rises from a bleeding wound
...or a smiling mouth.

Sunshine,
   I do believe that we are on the same wavelength right now.  The title sounds like
something I would have chosen.   Just got to find me in the attic somewhere before i can borrow me back!   Thanks for posting this.
I enjoyed, as usual.  You are so talented.

Excellent write, my friend...
