Eli Sigelman Poet Ballade

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.

Anil Deo May 21, 2020 at 8:17 AM 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
