The Goodbye Sonnet

Goodbyes are recollections of the dew
Of warmth that melted throughout the cool night
The blooming rose poems gifted by you
Stay mingled in waving palms still in sight 

Yes, we meet to depart and say good bye
Our surge of kisses are momentary
Your dimple in fact is a butterfly
Flowers you gave me are now nights starry

Go river go to your destined ocean
Fly bird fly the sky is there to take you
Brief too brief is our intimate session
Look how quick runs out all our time in hue

Hugs and cuddles in the splash of ocean
Light pales in the flight of the pelicans

Estatic love is all too fleeting, burns an image in your soul, butterflys wings still beating, image burnt has left the whole :{

Another wonderful sonnet, Probir. I'm not sure about other countries but here in America we have many ways to tell people farewell. Usually goodbye is forever. like when my father passed away saying goodbye was difficult and all of the other people I have loved that have passed on. Otherwise we say see you late or just say bye bye.

For me personally. Saying goodbye to the ones I have loved, the pain never diminishes. I seldom visit those memories if I can keep from it.

Whether during-or-post-death goodbye or divorce-goodbye or any other episodic bye bye, my focus is on an aesthetic aspect of all Goodbyes ... time passes, with it features of perception changes ... is the hurtful feeling of the moment of your father's departure is still so distressing as it was then? Or its essence has undergone a change? Other associations have got added ?

A poetic lullaby for the heart and soul dear, Probir. Superb writing!

Thanks, but in reality it is not so ... I am rich in desire to express in poetry ... but am poor in poetry ...
