I thumb soft, rosed blushes
on worn parchment, distressed.
Feel angsty olde auras,
absorb unholy mix~blessed.
Inhale years of sorrow..
crushed velvet page, by page.
Exhale yearns, unfulfilled
lineage'd on night's stage.

All wonder resides here
within somber ole' tomes.
I spake inherent wisdoms
from past inked, in croon.

Wish all mine wane heartbeat-
that I, too, shall foresee..
future knowledge, bleating,
history, as decreed.

Linked strong anˈcestrally
to ladies of mine line,
'beg a favored boon then-
to ken mine space in time.

"..But a tyrant spell has bound me,
And I cannot, cannot go.."

Ohhh . . . this is truly deep and forlorn, my friend.

I quite understand your wish to "foresee future knowledge," but even if you knew this knowledge sometimes life has a way of thwarting our endeavors to change history.

Here's wishing you the very best in the days, years to come.
