Best Until We Meet Again Poems
I felt I’d known you all my life
When I met you and your lovely wife
Your daughter and grand-daughter too
A friendship forged, we will again renew
When I saw you at the airport today
Hugs and kisses came my way
Treasured memories of the days we met
These precious times we will never forget
Hugs Jan ***

My words seep onto the page like poetic tears
Drip
Drip
Drip
Words once leached from every inch of my psyche
Now my friends, my time has come
It is time for me to depart
The light in my life is fading
Soon it will be extinguished
I will be gone from your lives forever …
Yet my words will always remain
I have been on a journey of a lifetime
Writing changed my life forever
I’ve shared my hopes and dreams
The good times and the bad
With laughter and tears
If you have one memory of me
Remember how I made you smile
I will never spill a drop of ink again
It’s finally time to say adieu
For it is too late for goodbyes
These are the final words I will ever write …
Until we meet again

Though parted now by time and space
We'll meet again in our secret place
Where no one knows but just we two
now I go there alone and wait for you
The yearning loneliness tugs at my soul
until we are one again I cannot be whole
My love,my sweet love how long will it be
til I kiss your lips and you're here with me
Memories of your love still on my mind
I see only your face to all else I am blind
I look up to the heavens and I silently pray
send my love to me and please don't delay
Then I hear you whisper and I turn to see
you're here beside me and forever will be
A Love that was forbidden some said we’d go to hell it may have all been wrong in our world - all was well
Long starry night walks days of dreamy bliss the warmth and tender touch and Oh the sensual kiss
I cherish the time we had the gentle hugs you gave until we meet again my love I’m the keeper of your grave.
It’s funny…when we’ve lived in one spot for a long time…
or like Deborah…forever and a day…
we’re filled with mixed emotions when we make plans to move away.
The thrill of a new adventure…full of wonder and surprise
when we stop to think about it…brings a few tears to our eyes.
While at the same time the thought of leaving friends we’ve known forever
and new friends we’ve come to love…surprise!
when we stop to think about it…brings more tears to your eyes.
The thought of making new memories in a new and different place
when we stop to think about it…brings a smile to our face.
While the thought of all the memories made…in this beautiful and happy place
when we stop to think about it…brings a frown upon your face.
Even though we know…because of all the time we’ve spent together
and by the wonderful way our lives have intertwined…
we will take a piece of everyone and every memory with us
we’re not leaving them behind.
It’s interesting when we move…the place we have chosen to be
is the land still revered and held sacred…by the indigenous Cherokee.
Interesting because the Cherokee language has no word for goodbye
If someone leaves or moves away…then
the word exchanged between them means…
until we meet again.
What a wonderful tradition…no farewell statement…
as one soars off to the sky…
no adios…no swan song…no need to say goodbye.
And we take comfort in believing…our old friends will once again be seen…
no matter how long an interlude…no matter how much time between.
Which means when we finally move…as we pack up our belongings…
to our friends and memories made here…we will not say amen…
Instead we choose the Cherokee way of leaving
and will say…
until we meet again.
All that I adore
She graces this world no more
I still can't let go
Magic tunes play deep pipes
as the dove flies high
fluttering angel wings touching
inside one golden breath
warm breathless gem whispers softly
Within each beat echoes a song
skipping inside one circle spinning crazy
upside down music floats the magic
head over heels
When I am next to you
embracing color of deep beauty
a promise once made
in this world to be forever true love
Those special memories of you,
Always bring me a smile.
Only if I could have you,
Back for a little while,
We sit and talk again,
Like we used to do,
Under the rain.
I always pursue,
The fact you are gone,
And left me behind.
I am all alone,
You are always on my mind.
It caused me pain,
But, you live in my heart.
Until we meet again!
As we start.
When I walk in the village I will never see your face
We cannot share a laugh or joke or a warm embrace
Today I said a final goodbye to a very dear friend
But your sudden passing away is not the end
You are now in heaven and are finally free
Beryl I do hope you save a place for me
I am sure you are making God laugh and smile
But I don't intend joining you for a very long while.

Just my luck, you made it to Heaven before me.
But you were my taste of Heaven here, so I'll let it be.
This isn't fair that I'm here missing you.
I bet you're up there, missing me too.
Save me a smile and an angel's feather.
I'll get them when we're back together.
Save me a walk down the streets of gold.
I can't wait until I get your hand to hold.
Save me a thousand years to whisper in your ear,
all the things I should have said, while you were here.
I'll be thinking of you everyday from now til then.
So I'll blow a kiss to you, until we meet again.
Farewell, until we meet again
I don't understand why God had to take you so young
Death, pain, and sorrow are hard things
For a young person to deal with in life
I always told you Good Night; we
saw each other the next day
On that night I thought that
You were just resting
But then I realized it would be
A rest for all eternity
My heart is broken into pieces as
I try to hold my tears back
The only person that
I could call my brother
Is now gone, not suffering
And to never be forgotten
Today, I can't think but to
wonder why God had to take you away
Friends and family pay their
Respects and say their last words
You're in God's hands now,
He'll take care of you
I give you a kiss and whisper
"Good Night! Rest in Peace Until We Meet Again"
I know you are sad that I am no longer there.
I'm in the presents of God. No need to despair.
This place beautiful unlike anything I've ever seen.
Not one soul here who Jesus hasn't made clean.
No trash to pick up around these pearly streets of gold
I see the garden nearby just like the bible had told.
When I want something to eat I just pull it off the vine.
No need to prick my finger. I'm healed. Heaven is devine!!
I am no longer thirsty as my cup is overfilled.
I can now see the river. Oh how I am thrilled!!
The sky is so blue yet it's not overly bright.
Oh, by the way, did I mention I have perfect sight??
To those whom I left when I had passed away
There is something important that I would like to say.
Stay strong in the Lord and repent every day
For you do not know when the Lord will call your way.
I
This is not goodbye, we will meet again,
There's a reason you were my brother,
There's a reason we were best friends,
This love traverses time,
It pulled us closer from the start,
I feel your warmth with every beat of my heart.
I knew who you were,
The moment we touched eyes,
You were my world,
So yes, I was destroyed when you died,
But though these tears do fall,
From forest eyes to snowy skin,
I know this is not goodbye, we will meet again.
Sweetly scented dreams
Now, caste upon breath of wind
Pleasant reminders
of the blessed life we have shared
My dear prince -- love has no bounds

composed of five syllables and the others seven.
Who will wipe away my many tears,
As for my dear love one I now weep
Who will be there to help me rest easy
While at night I try to fall fast asleep
Who will embrace me ever so tightly
Or who can ever take your place,
Who will say my name like you did
Placing a soft smile upon my face
Where are you now my sweet flower
When I need you most in my life
Where is the sound of your laughter
That always made each day so right
For my eyes grow tired from weeping
And my knees are weak from prayer
And I cannot let go of what I lost
When you were taken away from here
For every time the door bell rings
Or the telephone announces a call
I jump in expectation with a hope
That from my life you did not fall
And yet still my mind grows weary
As I once again try to fall asleep
And I can’t let go of your memory
When your image my heart still keeps
….until we meet again.
Written while watching the events,
and seeing the loss of so many on
9/11/11. Dedicated to those who
are still dealing with the pain.pain.
