To Hover Over a Lover

TO HOVER OVER A LOVER What’s so good about saying “goodbye”? Me thinks one should say “good cry” Because tears flow when ONE HAS to go And the only good thing about tears is they can make flowers grow Simply stand near to your garden’s wall The daisies, daffodils lilies and all Let your tears water the arid earth Since that’s about all saying “goodbye” is worth I’ve heard those words too many times before And said them twice that many times as I walked out the door Never to see a part of MY life ever again Only the light and the darkness of remembering when Recalling the first time you saw someone’s eyes Reciting the words you spoke, both winsome and wise The first time you tasted the sweetened lips of a lover And felt as if you were a hummingbird born to hover So I ask once again about the word “goodbye” As one sits alone on a divan and waits for their eyes to dry Trying earnestly to forget the days of merriment and mirth So tell me, what is the word “goodbye” really worth? © 2011.….Phreepoetree ~free cee!~
