#farewells
from fairytales to farewells
from sleepovers to it’s over
rained like angels cried
just need to get closer
pillow talking alone
dumbfounded and bold
you avoid the truth of us
i still couldn’t get enough
from fairytales to farewells
from goodnight kisses to silence
the light still exists if you find it
under the oak tree
can you meet me?
i am blinded by love
can you see me?

When the eye fails to recognize colors,
and the ear ceases to catch sounds,
when the mind doesn’t weave words
into something coherent,
and the body, shrunken,
no longer flinches to escape fear.
Then, my life, let me sit in a cozy chair,
wrapped in warm light,
and once again,
let me dive deep into the idealized past.
I will return without regret
to those faces, voices, and places.
I will wait, sitting in my pain,
calmly.
This departure will take a long while,
before I stamp my one-way ticket,
and everything becomes simple,
unconditional.
One day,
the stream of my consciousness
will dissolve into nothingness.
Then, my soul, let me—
in a gentler version than it was in reality—
settle discreetly and painlessly
in the memories of those dear to me.
I want to be nothing more
than a gentle touch of endless,
patient love.
A quiet presence,
a whisper of boundless solace.

For all that I am aches.
For all I must forsake.
It is the unfortunate. Destined fate.
The final moment, we do not wake.
When the time comes, you will break.
When the time comes, let go of keepsake.
When the time comes, rebuild and remake.
Knowing you go on gives peace in mind.
Knowing you will be strong keeps my spirit alive.
If these are my last words to be made known.
Let it be known I am overcome in an abundance of love.
Let be known that the abundance of Love I return.
For eternity x infinity.

After you, I've had the urge
to finally cut my hair
that ended beneath my waist
and looked good with
shoulders bare.
The length of it stretched on
and it reminded me of you.
The same endless cycle,
you'd always split off
into two.
Colours have faded now,
leaving the carcass of a strand.
A fraud of what it truly was,
growing under your demands.
But I face the mirror now,
as scissors went where you've dwelt.
My mother hacked away my hair
until I looked more like myself.

The only word I hate
Because it is always said
When a person leaves me behind
And never return.
Goodbye

Here I am in the middle of your days
before the summer has said goodbye
and the brown beauty of fall has arrived.
It is easy to forget to notice your
persistent pink exuberance of crepe myrtle
to escape the warmth of your winds
for the coolness of the den.
There is still time to grow
before autumn ushers in the first snow.
Being in your midst makes me mellow
slows me and gives me time to re-member
those I’ve loved in the midst of you, September,
time to listen to you in the songs of birds
hear the wisdom of your words
on the peaceful cusp of Libra and Virgo.
Speak to me September
blow your breath upon the ember
of this era in my journey
let not the sparks still remaining
be lost in the cross fires
and anxiety of these days.
In your haste to bid farewell to summer
forget not my moments of wonder
let me hear your thunder
and please before you leave me
speak to me in your deep warm voice
and resurrect me from the wasteland
of this languorous slumber.

You fare thee well only to those you wanna see again.
I hope to come back soon enough.
This is, good bye.

Exiled in the darkest of nights
a traversing light I suddenly see
I hastily hid in fear
yet staring in awe, in wonder I gazed
I tried to tame the light
it tamed me instead
giving me tears
as it continued its way

The bustle of wheels and shoes across marble
are muted by the high ceilings
of the great Arrival Hall.
Underneath its fluorescent skies
a long back river flows
winding around the headlands
of counters and
disappearing into x-ray caverns.
The smell of suitcases hangs in the air like
morning mist pooling around ankles.
Not quite fading with the passing of day,
but mingling with wafts of fresh coffee
-and jet fuel.
From somewhere in the distance a chapel bell chimes,
announcing that Passengers of Flight AQ284 can
board the plane in ten minutes time.
the Passengers flock to their gate with
the dependency of cattle to the bell
and trickle, single file
through a metal esophagus and into
a Silver Dragon that flies at midnight
taking off from a starlit path
and into the cold dark night
its echoing, parting roar
speaks of farewells and
bright futures
and
distant lands
so very
far
away.

It's another Tuesday afternoon,
The stench of gloom in the air overpowered,
By the smell of sugarless, herbal tea.
I should be on my way soon,
I look down, the eyes of a coward,
Surrendering to words that escape me.
"I’m leaving, on a hot air balloon,"
"I won't be back till the hills are snow cowered,"
"Lifelines of white, against a flat lining sea."
"But I'll be back soon,"
I say, but she's gazing skyward,
"So this is the night, He promised it to be."
"Too many months of June",
"Has my poor heart encountered,"
"It is time for her to be free."
"And if this shiny moon,"
"Were to be crimson and flowered"
"Wouldn't make a better goodbye, than this is to be."
So the birds sang a tune,
We looked back, staring forward,
One final time, we took our first sip of tea.
"If this is to be,"
"Our last cup of tea,"
"May it be with sugar, grandma,"
"Two spoons for you,
Two spoons for me."

Inside of her eyes she begs that you see the love she has for you.
In her forced smile, she begs that you can see her soul desiring to touch yours again.
And within her voice she begs to say "I love you" instead of "goodbye."

A single drop of rain upon the ground.
Like lightning strike that struck rain soddened earth.
A monotonous voice rattles around,
It’s face lit in the depths of the stone hearth,
One light that will forever show me, you.
Path burdened with unforgiving sorrow.
To a life that waves a final adieu,
There’s an endless number of tomorrows.
But then tomorrow becomes yesterday
With the fading “Au Revoir” in the wind.
The distant trembles of sorrow that fray.
Closed eyes of the once forgiving and kind.
An undying love ceasing to exist,
As a leaf on a river set adrift.

FINALLY I SAID GOODBYE.
GOODBYE I SAID, FINALLY.
FINALLY! GOODBYE, SAID I.
I SAID GOODBYE. FINALLY?
I
SAID
GOODBYE
FINALLY
.

Finally. I said.
Goodbye.

"See you around"
Now, I have never been a fan of goodbyes
But that was far-stretched to a point
It could only be a lie.
Our song, whose words either
You have forgotten,
Or, no longer care to utter,
Has been long sung
And over.
And in an ideal world,
You would be exactly where I belong,
But the world always gets its way
I must admit,
It is hard to watch all your love
Getting drained out of your bone
With no face to blame
And I don't know if it's a choice,
I think not,
To have a control over
Who we choose to love
And maybe I should have kept
All these feelings bottled up
In some dark corner of my mind
But I had to try
Or how would have I known
And we tried,
Did not we?
Two souls against
This world's ways
But I guess it was just too much
For anyone to take
And we both were
Two little kids
Who increased in volume
But never really grew up
And writing is how I'll get to keep you
Yet give you the final closure you need
I loved you with every ounce of
What was mine
But it will be a suicide
If I choose to stand here
Hear your footsteps
Till they fade
Because your memories
A quicksand
I never learnt to escape
I have to leave,
Since you already have
So,
Goodbye to you,
My lover, my better half, my best friend.

where's the delete button,
so I can delete you from my life
you gave so much heartbreak,
we loved and then we would strife
where's the delete button
It's hard for me, it's hard for you,
and I know the change is sudden
I am pressing the delete button, but you're still here
every time I look at you my body feels with fear
I get guilty, I could get sad,
my life will start to get really bad.
Its not that I don't want you, but I just don't need you
you came into my life and broke my heart in two
you said you loved me but you knew you didn't
you think it is working, but we both know it isn't
wheres the delete button so I can delete you
delete the memories, delete the pain
delete everything again and again
I pressed delete.... goodbye
