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 _________________________________________________ 28/9/2016

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 ?
