Sandra Adams Poet Free verse

Farewell

chiudo i miei occhi
solo per vederti
in frammenti
di ricordi
mentre vanno alla deriva
dentro e fuori
della mia mente

lo so
nell'oscurità
tu esisti
come guardiano
con le ali
guardando ancora
su di noi

non sono pronto
baciarti
addio
sempre più

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i close my eyes
just to see you
in fragments
of memories
as they drift
in and out
of my mind

i know
in the darkness
you exist
as a guardian
with wings
watching still
over us

i'm just not ready
to kiss you
goodbye
forevermore

Demetrios Trifiatis December 19, 2019 at 5:28 AM È vero che la vera bellezza è vista dagli occhi della nostra anima cara, Sandra. È anche vero che non possiamo facilmente dire addio a chi amiamo . Very well written. Deep in thought dearest, Sandra! Sandra Adams December 19, 2019 at 10:26 AM Grazie mille Demetrios ... dire addio per sempre è difficile ... penso che l'anima e il cuore sentano profondamente la perdita dei propri cari ... abbracci

Line Gauthier December 18, 2019 at 1:07 PM Wow I love the mirror effect even if I just have to take for granted the meaning of the foreign language. Totally beautiful. Profound.

Running Wolves December 18, 2019 at 12:38 PM Awesome poetry... Sandra Adams January 18, 2020 at 2:18 PM thank you so much Robert!

Chris Green December 18, 2019 at 10:37 AM The poem is beautiful in either language though I would really love to hear it read in Italian. Still a bit sad and heart touching but the soothing feel of your words adds a comfort to this that flows so softly. Sandra Adams December 18, 2019 at 10:55 AM grazie Chris, l'italiano era la sua lingua madre ... mi mancherà per sempre come gli altri prima di lui ... la tua gentilezza sta toccando il mio amico ... abbracci....
