The Last Goodbye

Inviting vibrancy as the season changed
Smiley faces bloomed, reopening dreams. 
Seeing you there marked a blessed event
Akin to magical when first time eyes met.

Breezing trees heard the whispers of leaves
Flirting with patterns of shadowy sketches,
There you unfolded what love could mean
Planting bold dreams in affectionate kisses 
Floating on air in the lilting summer winds. 

Blazing colors inspired falling ocher scenery
Dazzling in hues of resplendent paintings
As we wrote music in autumn's reverie: 
A seductive beginning of romantic ending
Composed in themes of passionate lyrics.

Mountain tops donned snow-white crowns
Satiating fantasies in pristine landscapes,
Culminating desires into sensual escapes
As the last goodbye lent your heart to me
Ending your visit and our idyllic love story.

Your beat I hear still, but it lost its melody.

Vijay, A magical place described in your last goodbye. Though colors run from those lost seasons as a lover's tune fades. Truly a 'idyllic love story' from pre-Pan(demic) times, sadly missed. -Richard

There is no point in congratulating so late, but that does not take away anything from the poem so well written, Vijay Pandit.

A surprise at the end of a well written love store captures the reality of a heart shocked by betrayal.
