Craig Cornish Poet Lyric

Lost Goodbyes

When there are no more tomorrows
to become yesterdays
and regrets drip with sorrow
too late to repay,
we will wish for the chances
to say lost goodbyes --

egos that fight
      blinded with pride.

But the sunlight that screams
in the skies gone away
casts gold on my memories
and become yesterday.

When I spoke without fear
of what you would say

I heard the wake of the morning
   lapping the bay.

We smiled at it all
and cried our goodbyes
on the shores of our memories
at the edge    of the sky...

CayCay Godwin July 23, 2025 at 1:23 PM I am here because poetry touches me. Every now and then, I read one with a touch that especially seeps feel deep within me and tingles my all. I leave here poem exhilarated and I love that. Just love it, I do. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Craig Cornish August 13, 2025 at 11:12 AM CayCay - what a lovely comment - thank you so much!

FJ Thomas July 22, 2025 at 9:01 AM There's so much here... where to start. So many of my memories I've lost, seems only the ones I've tried hardest to forget remain. So I'll say what I need to say, do what needs to be done, to make good memories with the time I have left. I enjoy your 'poems of the heart' Craig. Craig Cornish July 22, 2025 at 10:14 AM You're a Dear, Flo...I pray you and your beautiful family are well and happy--I love strong woman, my Mom is one (95) and my wife is one - I have no patience for shallow--this poem is fiction (but then nothing we think is truly fiction), yet to add to your thoughts.. “Your memory is a monster; you forget–it doesn’t. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you–and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!” – John Irving - Luv to you!

DM Babbit July 9, 2025 at 10:56 AM Perhaps, the saddest word of all, goodbye. Craig Cornish July 9, 2025 at 11:12 AM Perhaps indeed, and why I love the way my Canadian friends phrase it..."Goodbye for now"..
