Panagiota Romios Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Farewell, Mon Amour

Oh, my…oh…my sad heart’s bang on broke,
Bidding adieu, to my lover, a sweet bloke.
A tall, brunette sailor, going back to the sea.
In duress, I moaned, what’s to become of me?

Without his eyes, the deep color of the sea.
And his tanned ,muscular arms to encircle me.
I rested my arms on the railing, as his ship pulled away,
Knowing, I’d recall this moment forever and a day.

Come back, come back,  dearest sailor of mine.
To love me once again and stroll in God’s sunshine!

Beryl Edmonds April 27, 2023 at 1:34 PM Pangie, I see from your replies this poem speaks of truth. Though you and your sailor may never meet again, sweet memories will always remain. A lovely wistful poem of love. Belle Beryl Edmonds April 27, 2023 at 5:30 PM Wonderful Pangie, sun-sational summer loving, lucky you having lunch with the captain and top crew ~ Belle Panagiota Romios April 27, 2023 at 2:10 PM Yes, Belle, I can close my eyes and he’s next to me. Uniform, spiffy white, and such great eyes. His ship came to Chicago for a visit. They were to be here for a week! But the there was a malfunction and they stayed~the best summer of my life. We both had to learn each others language. I got to have lunch aboard ship with captain the top crew. Awesome. A love filled summer. Pangie

Tom Cunningham April 26, 2023 at 2:14 PM The days and nights will drag until he returns to port again. Tom Tom Cunningham April 26, 2023 at 9:50 PM I remember you mentioning it a while back now. I bet he often thinks of you too. Panagiota Romios April 26, 2023 at 8:29 PM Just wanted to repeat, he was not part of the USA navy.so We both knew he was not returning. I never said he was. …I could write that in the poem, but I was writing about a space in my life. I am glad I experienced it. I learned a foreign language in the process. Again, thanks,)) Panagiota Romios April 26, 2023 at 2:21 PM Alas, Sir Cunningham. He was in the naval service of another country. Appreciate your visit today Pangie
