BUT I WILL RETURN.

"What are you thoughts
but like what can be brought ..."

Is this an address to thoughts?  If so, you need the comma of address after"you".

And if you meant to say that the thoughts you are addressing are more or less like upward spirals of smoke that are a delight to watch,  you need to find a less clumsy way of doing so.  "but like" is an awkward expression.  And your use of "can" suggests that these thoughts are only **able**  to bring certain images before your eyes.  They do not in fact do so.


But if you meant to write "what are your thoughts ...?", you need to make clear who you are assessing.

"But l should keep in mind
I will return
and find myself in that old world
which is so rife with plots and nasty schemes"

Why should you keep this in mind?  What are the consequences of not doing so?

Nice edit.  Thanks for the non-acknowledgment of the fact that I was right in noting that you once again made a punctuation mistake and/or do not proofread your submissions before you post them.  

Now, perhaps, you'll answer my question about why you should keep in mind that you'll return to the dreary world. What are the consequences for you if you don't do this?

I’ve laid the bull’s bones
and its thigh fat on
the altar stone
and set the pyre beneath them into flame
then prayed my sacrifice
would find some favor in
the eyes of Him,
the holy one
I call The Name..

But I was not so pious or
so brainless  as to think
that breathing in the rising smoke,
however sweet the smell of it,
would take me up to Him
or cause me  anything but agony
within my lungs
and make me Him disdain.

No, such a thing, I knew,
would root me to the earth
in coughing fits and tears
and bleary sight,
not place me in the skies.

I should keep in mind that l will return to the earth, or else l will be disappointed when l see the difference between the two places.

Your submission implies that in being lifted up,  you see the difference.    
 It does not take returning to earth to make that clear to you. And in using "or else",  you state that it is by not returning to earth that you will be disappointed.

You say that the thoughts that you address are like an image.  But images cannot be inhaled.  Nor can thoughts.  So these lines

"I inhale some of your
entwining curves that rise
to Whom they are addressed"

are nonsense.

This is exactly how I feel.... Sigh.

Dear Boyana,
Thank you very much for your very expressive comment. It can say a lot.
