Farewell






The sun dies in blushing clouds,
while my desolation sees you depart.
The farewell stabs my heart,
and in a smile my face shrouds.
In gray memories my soul overcrowds,
windy hands take my hurting soul,
to die alone in a burning coal,
and far away other arms hold you,
pronouncing the sordid true:
all my life and strength, you stole.



We are listening to a fragment of "I Will Always Love you" performed by the unique Whitney Houston. This song is a homage to this beautiful songstress.

    1. Thank you so much, RPD!

      No, you need not say anything more! You give me so much credit I cannot thank you fairly enough!

      Yes, Whitney Houston was, and is, the best one around!

  2. Very heart-touching. Could feel it in every line. I could hear the innermost thoughts uttered sadly. The tone is of bitterness. Your choices of words are very powerful and leave such a strong impact on the reader.

    Farewell is just a word but it is the most dreaded where heart is concerned.

    I like the way you write, Od. You always succeed in conveying messages across.

    Again, well-written.

    1. Thank you, BB!

      You are right, love can be a foe, as much as a blessing!

      Farewell is an aching word! It is terminal, and inappealable!

      Thank you again! I appreciate your warm words!!

  4. Yes! it is sad!

    I am sad, when I remember. I didn't dare to talk about death, it hurts too much. Better to think it is only a physical separation.

    But sometimes you need to "say" something about what is inside you or pop as a balloon! :)

    Sorry, I did not intend to sadden you!!

    It just happened!

    You know poetry flows and can't be stopped. If we can call this lame attempt to verse, poetry!
