Farewell(A) Poems | Examples

FINAL EMBRACE

In shadows' grasp, a silent breath,
Life's curtain falls, the dance with death.
Through twilight's veil, a solemn waltz,
Eternal echoes, life's somber exalts.

A journey ends, the final embrace,
Whispers linger in the quiet space.
A tapestry woven, threads of the past,
Memories endure, a love that will last.

In the realm unknown, where spirits roam,
A departure from the earthly home.
Yet, in the heart, a flicker remains,
A legacy of moments, where love sustains.

In twilight's hush, a journey nears its close,
Dying whispers softly, as the evening chose.
Fading echoes of a life once bright,
Embracing shadows, transitioning to night.

Colors wane, like petals in repose,
A symphony of silence, as the chapter slows.
Whispers of farewell, a bittersweet refrain,
Ephemeral moments, as time loosens its chain.

Memories

A new horizon in view already,
I stood there seeing it
Wearing a blanket weaved 
With threads of memory
Of all the years to date ,I have lived 
It's the time
 A magnificent panorama to bid goodbye
To step into a new landscape of life
With just a blanket of memories,
It sure will always be with me,
Till I become infinity.

AT THE BRIDGE

We stood lost in thought at the edge of the bridge
Seeking answers to our hearts, just out of reach.

The memories we shared linger like a mist
In all my dreams, her face continues to beam.

Hands wave in farewell, a bittersweet swing
The last words we shared spoke of that final image.

Embracing Goodbyes

In the shadows, I feel the bonds grow,
Attachments so deep, emotions bow
Their absence sparks a flame
Love and friendship that lasts the same

As they depart their echoes remain
A harmony of separation pushes the heart in strain
The friendships true a love that is so dear
In my heart’s chambers, crystal clear

The fear of parting, a clouded sight,
I trust that God will provide the light
Through the trails unkind
I seek strength within my mind

In every farewell, a chance to restart,
Hope blooms within my delicate heart.

Why Do You Shake When Around Me

In your presence, a trembling dance unfolds,
Why do you shake, a mystery untold?
Each moment shared, a delicate quake,
Like dropped perfume, memories break.

At my mom's farewell, a somber day,
Our worlds collided in an unusual way.
Others observed, a subtle connection,
In shared grief, a silent reflection.

Amidst the whispers, a lingering desire,
Yet, your silence fans love's quiet fire.
Why won't you call, unveil the enigma?
In the unsaid words, emotions stigma.

Around me, tremors echo unexplained,
A dance of nerves, feelings unrestrained.
Perfumed memories, a fragrant cloak,
In the unspoken, our hearts bespoke.

Goodbye

you are more of a stranger now
than before we even met
i should throw out the memories
fold your name into a paper airplane
and fly it south
it’s just an ache i can do without
i don’t even want to think of you
i want you expunged from every crevice
effaced from all my floors and walls
i want you completely scraped off of my existence
because i can’t deal with all the residue
leftover crumbs of a sour love
yet my heart begs “just one more hour, love!”
but i can’t bear another second with you
so here it is, my last gift to you:
    a final farewell, a heartsick adieu

My Love Will Recognize You Even From Far

the dove has gone,
gone away far
without saying any goodbye

the wind of last autumn has gone,
gone away without touching my heart

the leaf of last winter has fallen down
without dying by yellowish white

the dew of last winter has vanished
without kissing your luscious cheek

also the last spring has gone
without awakening my loving sense

the summer, now has become last summer
also has gone without a slight staring

now the rainy sets in
but you have gone on the warmth boat of the summer
you were silent, did not utter a single words,
also you have gone without saying goodbye

I know,
I know all these gone away
now come as the extreme rains
burst into tears,
inundate over there and here;
take it note my darling-
your quiet gone away
will be a farewell, a goodbye
and my love will recognize you even from far

Goodbye To Winter

A last hurrah of snow and ice
Winter's farewell, a parting sting.
But waiting there to take her place
The welcome arms of coming spring.

All around life is stirring
A reawakening mother earth.
The warming soil rejuvenating,
Bringing days of colour, and rebirth.

Short cold days, soon forgotten
As the sun sits higher in the sky.
Oh, the joy of changing seasons
Cherished each, as they pass by.

The Last Farewell

The End, a dazzling beam of tranquil infinity
Where darkness is loveliest, I could gladly soar
Far into the glimmering galaxies in dream's serenity,
A blazing bubble buoyed, yearning to roar.

A voiceless stream where the stars everlasting
Take contemplation in joy's exalted strands,
Where Nothing transcends the space overflowing,
Impenetrable in the canvas of aspiring Sunlands.

True, I so loved the glory of living thunder
Of clamorous winds and bellowing seas,
Of skylines' azure hills of grandeur,
Of passions that stretched and stretched beyond seams.

I take one last farewell, a child of earth
Prized to rest among heaven's gilded clouds.
A modest cottage, beautiful in its silent breath
With an infant's smile, a soul without bounds.

I now close my eyes keeping that defiant glare
With wolf's courage, an imperiousness that never dies.
My God! Can I look upon one last time, eternity's flair
And share the splendor of that dust in the skies?

Farewell Its Verity

Farewell, the theme of life,
after seeking world hardly with a knife,
none can we stop - reaching – the den of pride,
we   have to go alone following a bride. 

 Farewell a sense appears a while,
hard to get it back, the lost secretion of bile,
tears flow a moment like the majestic river Nile,
none can we stop – reaching – the den of pride.

 Farewell – we mean – detachments of hearts,
no longer found roaming – the certainty of marts,
shedding all the memories,
memories of the past, happiness and worries.

Farewell – the tears stand fake, dripping away love,
happiness thrown away, hatred wins above,
stop shedding tears with no meaning at all,
the tears hamper the view forming a liar’s waterfall!


Strive hard for triumph or see farewell again,
shedding fake liquids, no palpable pain,
I promise to keep farewell alive, with less joy and death,
and feel the meaning of farewells truth, hard passing the last breath.

The Princess Her Celestial Missionary

Remembering once when yet a child; gazing.. 
Quietly through the rear window's glass as time 
Within a dream it seemed; she, holding tightly unto 
My teddy bear tiny eyes slowy watching be this world 
Disappeared while tasting but these, salty tears; echoing 
Their voices colourful images and faces ? Still, swirling about 
The air love waving it's farewell a sea lives left standing at that
Beauty's gate whispering into teddy's ear look baby, tis Genavieve.

Fawke's Night Farewell, a Vignette

Nights end,
Fireworks all spent
Bonfire dies down
Embers glowing softly
As fond thoughts of the evening
Warm the heart

Fond Farewell, a Tribute To Our Fallen Heroes

When our flag is torn and burned I yearn 
For an America I once knew.
When our patriots fall I hear the call
Of cold blood red, white and blue.

And hearing the talk from those that mock 
The beauty of our beliefs,
I’m reminded that freedom’s price
Isn’t always pure, sweet peace.

As the eagle dares in places where 
Some will never see;
Higher ground where love is found 
America aims to be.    

God bless all those who gave their all
That others might remain,
In liberty’s light through day and night
They did not go down in vain.

Sail on, sail on, 
Sail onward homeward bound…
Making this world a better place, 
True freedom you have found.    

Though human thoughts and words cannot 
Apprehend all your good treasures,
Laying down your life for friends 
Goes beyond all human measure.  

Sail on, sail on, 
Sail onward homeward bound…
God bless you all who gave your all 
That we living might sleep sound.  

All you noble warriors 
And lovers of democratic dreams:
Salutations, admiration, 
Laurels of inestimable esteem.

From now on through eternity
To thrones of noble realms;
We give thanks for all your selflessness
And bid you fond farewell.

Tree Swallow

inspired by “Farewell,” a digital image by Sara G. Umemoto

I fledged you from my open hand – 
feathers becoming wings
outspreading. How
do you teach yourself to fly?

I feel your breath and pulse against 
my palm. How could I 
hold you? You 
disappear into sheer blue sky.

One Last Song

write my goodbye, as only you can
removing all vagueness, so I understand
let the lyrics sing of what your heart reflects
of my love's sorrow and the after affects
one heart strong and one heart that is weak
where it lays wilting petals, strewn at you feet

write one last song, write it only for me
to sing in the dark as your spirit breaks free
a dance that ends as your arm slowly falls
one slipper that is left at the end of the ball
a sonnet of farewell, a poem from your heart
one last goodbye as it all breaks apart
