Watching them leave
Holding my sister dearly
Trying not to cry
Why did they have to go?
But my sister seems dull
"Bye bye" is all she says
I hate good-byes.
There is nothing good
in them.
They are too permanent.
Ominous par excellence.
I said good-bye
to a friend once,
never saw him twice.
No, there is nothing good
in a good-bye.
I favour
farewell.
Say bye bye to the old world
The days of change are here
Another new era is born again
The times are telling it stories
Right in front of our view
Events of fear are no more new
Strange circumstances are now a normality
There is always a fight of ego
And the egoist got no proper human soul nor feelings
Yet they are in charge of our time
Is obvious the days are hotter than usual
Cos we chose to let history repeat itself
We are getting closer to another fall and rise era
One egoist is about to fall with it empire for another new egoist to rise
With a new world
It has always been so from the old times
We are the inhabitants of today’s era yet
Our actions are still never far from the old times
Neither are we the solution of a new beginning with a permanent closed chapter of no historical repeat of shame
A beginning without sorrows nor agony
Until then
Say bye bye to the old world
Tonight I am pulling out a box of pictures
Lookin’ at’em one by one
As I am sippin’ on my elixir
I reminisce about the day we begun
Tonight we’re having a get together
They’ll arrive one by one
We’ll be sippin’ on our favorite beverage
And we’ll be missin’ one
Tonight after saying goodbye to you
We’ll be missin’ you separately
Some will cry some will sigh, some will just do
We’ll be missin’ you desperately
As leaves blow over and time ages
And one by one the years go past
We all have grieved in different stages
And the pain has left at last
We’ll find you in a gallery of memories
Where we’ll think of you a lot
One by one each prayer released
Our most intimate thoughts with God
In the dim and distant past, i cycled around
Slow and fast, past sleepy houses, on small city blocks.' In the morning fresh when its not yet hot ' sometimes a daring
Cat shot in front, aloof and sleek, no play for me then on bots..I recall the rich sent of
Fresh cut lawn, before the day would swallow, this placid morn' i recall milk bottles sitting on front door stoops, as pidgeons scattering, as the hawk broke loose, out a of a blue yonder, with whistling
Wings, echoing the sound of my bike wheels, as i turn for home i hear the church
Bell ring.'
DOWN GOES PAM BONDI

I’ll miss you soupers~
She said she was working most the night
As she kissed my lips and said goodnight.
She walked away and locked the door...
Moments later that fatal roar.
I ran outside and bowed my head,
For in the road she lay there dead.
I had lost the meaning of my life
The night the Lord had taken my wife.
This will be my last goodbye
As tears are filling up my eyes.
Now I lay my head to nest
And say goodbye like all the rest.
I'm sorry I left this way....
MINNEAPOLIS
THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS
ICE THEY WILL NOT MISS
I feel strongly
death is never goodbye
I’ll see you later
I owe you an apology I thought I hated you for leaving me behind.
but the truth is I hate myself for falling for you.
I didn't realize that I what I was doing was considered harassment.
I'm sorry that I got a little to attached to you.
I'm am truly sorry I never ment for things to go as far as they did.
now I see you in my dreams you ask me what kind of dreams.
I tell you some are the same and others are normal.
the truth is the dreams with you in them is something we never had true love.
I've seen what could of been and tried to warp that into reality
but it was just a dream that wont come true and I see that now
I'm sorry if you ever felt peer pressured into anything
we agreed to go our different way just know I wish you the best of luck
is crazy to think we got this far
you could of reported me for harassment but you didn't
you say you call me dork as a sing that you care
if you care then why cant we just be friends?
I'm trying to see it though your eyes and perspective but i cant
I'm letting go without letting go
so good bye till we meet again Ed
Peace deals seem to give Trump a good-bye kiss--
To self-proclaimed messiah of world peace
Who thinks he’s King Canute
Who held waves, made them mute,
Peace, no real estate deal,
Nor Trump, one-for-all pill,
A shot in dark is more likely to miss.

Note: Trump’s peace deals that come apart seem to suffer from a Humpty-Dumpty Syndrome. And he does not know how to put Humpty-Dumpty back together. Russia-Ukraine peace deal is nowhere. Thailand and Cambodia are fighting back again. So are Congo and Rwanda, whilst Gaza peace plan seems in limbo. And the only one that works is Indo-Pak that Trump has nothing to do with! Yet, the Nobel Peace Prize, ah what a lollypop!
Sorry, but I’ll have to leave,
‘cause you don’t respect what I believe.
I want to be me, not whatever fake name,
So I’ll burn the script and leave the game.
For so long I wore the masks,
Hid the truth and played my tasks,
But now I live where silence grows its seed,
Far from hunger, far from greed.
I no longer chase what isn’t true,
Or shrink myself to fit your view.
I want to tell my crowd goodbye,
I love you all, but I've faced the lie.
The path is clear, the journey’s mine,
Guided by faith, by the stars that shine.
I took a step back, reclaimed my voice,
And made at last a conscious choice.

Like Ace once said: take care now, bye-bye then,
Today I say: never again.
our sadness is deep because of loosing you and having you around was a joy and sometimes our friendship was tempted but from child to youth and then a Dad your temperament was a wild as the storming rage but God found you worthy so good bye our brother may you find so rest and peace in Jesus arms. your childish pranks will surely be missed by all and looking back you dribbled a sure and perfect score because God found you worthy to be amoungs the angel so good bye our friend a till me meet again to watch you score a sure and winning goal goodbye our friend may your soul find peace and rest till we meet again and soon we'll fill our cups once again and wishing you peace and rest till we meet again on heavens shores so good bye for now chadley till we meet again
What Would Another
Moon Be Like?
In Ornate Marble
Dressed In Neon Gold;
Pouring It's Ever-Loving
Wealth Into The

Such A Brilliant Idea!

Putting All That Dusty
Dappled Gray
Faded Welcome
Over-Whelming
Lunacy To Shame.
LO!
Bitter Drifter In Bitter Butter,
Artificial Sweetener For
BitterSweet Love.
