Best Byes Poems

You left me, oh so, long ago
my baby, my only child
before I wanted to let go
you'd said your first good bye.

For you had so much work to do
you needed space to grow,
and surely could not do so
with a fretting mother in tow.

My son you walk...

"Buff-a-flies!" My tiny granddaughter points 
   to the black and yellow wings settling around us.
"Butter-flies," I agree with caveat. 

She scowls and refuses to speak again 
  until after dinner time.
Did I learn my lesson? Mostly......

The river Sid flows fast and free
At Sidmouth where it winds its way
Through ancient woodland to the sea.

A real gem all will agree,
Like Lakeland beck its waters gay,
The river Sid flows fast and free.

Its laughing waters sing with glee,
Flow crystal clear, transform my day,
Through ancient...

Seems my fame has travelled far and wide
My limericks have made a resurgent worldwide
May it continue a bit
Even without a permit
Hope to continue till it's beddy-byes time...

Promise we two will live forever
In the land of no good-byes
Where tomorrow never quite reaches us
Evermore to gaze into your eyes

Through love's impassioned blindness
We'll travel life's highway together
Helping each other through thick and thin
Through all kinds of stormy weather

Where tomorrow never quite reaches us
Forever in...

You caught my eye, you got my heart,
it's going to be hard when we part.
Seeing you is like a dream come true,
because I never thought I would fall in love with you.

I've run out of answers, I'm running out of time,
I'm so confused that I'm...

Reality sets in when a mother and a child are taking away in the blink of an eye.
Leaving so many wondering........why?
What we've have failed to realize is that it can happen just like that.
Truth is told it's the cold hard facts.

It could have been anyone...

Good-bye is not forever
Just a promise of the past
As I look to the future
All I see is what happened last

Tears come at first
Soon things may turn well
Yet it still hurts
An on going hell

Some thing else comes
To pass this time
I will still never forget
You were once...

As I prepare myself
For the funeral service of my best friend
The love of my life
Is sitting on a mountains end

I can only immerse myself
In the thoughts of the two
Yet praying for my children
What they have been through

My friend gave them
Love, hope, and dreams
Was like a...

I don't recall one
Not one that didn't 
Leave me sad or
Angry,
Lost,
Forlorn...
Empty at one time or
Another
Missing someone before
They even closed the door.
Yearned for some note or call
To for get it all...that no good
Good-bye...
Oh the sadness in the
Song of a poet's good-bye
Though we boast to handle
More than...

Soupers often engage in emotional ways.
There can be depth in what two might exchange.
When someone leaves our shared Soup domain,
their diminished light is a missed, valued sight.  
Some remarks feel like word-shaped embraces
and time together often leaves valued traces.
Is is not odd, just plain...

when you said the last “Goodbye”,
I had no reply rather just to cry,
I was the Germany signing the Treaty of versailles,
was tough to make my soaked eyes dry. 

you called me in a hotel,
you also had wet eyes and was trying
to make the situation calm.
and we...

WHISPERED SHADOW 

She flaunts her way into my mind,
A beautiful chaos, cruel yet kind.
A disaster to see, a tale untold,
A fire so warm, yet burning cold.

Her scent lingers both day and night,
A whispered ghost, a fleeting light.
Her teeth peek softly through her smile,
A charm that...
