I Say Goodbye To You and Your Beauty

I say goodbye to you and to your beauty. I lost your scent and I forgot my essence. You are my sin and my repentance, my orchards, fruits and olives. I'm in heaven next to you. I’m dissolving my desires. Please, do not cry... And yes, I say goodbye. Goodbye to your eternal beauty and to the whisper in the sky, that has a short life, like a summer fly. I'll be waiting for you. I will caress your shadow, like a tropical breeze caresses palm trees and the grass in a meadow. 11.2019

Eli, spoken like a Highpriest of Poetry. Now ... she may be aged, or sick, but this goodbye seems "au revoir"? Till you both meet again. (Lines 4 -5 suggested, she may NOT be a spouse; a delicious sin?) Forgive If I'm wrong. Shalom,shalom. Anil Sook DEO
