Premium MemberYou Said Goodbye

I believe In my heart 
You're done with me
The future we planned 
I guess will never be 

The love we once shared 
It is now all gone
And too soon for me
You will be moving on 

If you ever cared for me 
It's impossible for me to tell
You're out there living life
I'm here living in hell

You still smile everyday 
While everyday I only cry
I was the only one damaged 
When you said goodbye


Premium Member31 August

Goodbye my little August
Here comes your time to fly
I’ve loved you, to be honest
Much better than July
September’s on the threshold
The summer paid its price 
The autumn wind blows cold 
Precedes the winter ice 
Though many autumns I have seen
And winters in their prime
I couldn’t imagine it would seem
Like a delayed goodbye
More nights, my darling, without you
More leaves at your back door  
But memories remain like new
We thought they would, before.

Premium MemberDust

Wicked smile, turned dust,

Two halves of a broken soul,

Nothing left to chase.

Premium MemberA Leaf In The Woods


My heart, though silent, beats steadier, then
Love is written in this gentle voice
Cool winds, playing softly, a moment, when
Gentle thoughts offer no other choice

Singing a chorus of love that believes
My spirit soars to new heights, I can see
Beyond the music of the tree who grieves
Sweetest song, so rich and brave, wind can free

Secured by faith, the joy of love shines bright
Sweetest tones of hope drift over my life
While notes of peace rise from the sunny light
I feel the sway of music that heals worst strife

Thrown about by the dreadful winds of change
Like a leaf in the woods, whose fate feels strange

Premium MemberNot all goodbyes are final

You had to say goodbye.
Gently kissed the tears from my eyes.
Soon we will meet again.

Premium MemberShe Never Says Goodbye

The sweetest hello she says
loving she more than gives
But before the light of day
she is gone on her way

Sexy in every way
heartache so many she gave
love them than leave them
she no longer needs them
quietly she slips away

So many gifts she gets
blessed by sharpest of wits
Her touch melts the coldest heart
than breaks it in two as she departs

Men search for her in vain
sleepless nights crying her name
nothing but you alone in bed
loving her tell you're dead
all her lovers broken the same

The sweetest hello she says
loving she more than gives
She never says goodbye
cause she haunts you till you die
She never says goodbye...

Premium MemberDisrobing ego

Ruth: It’s all my fault— my lost hat! How can you forgive me that!

Buddy: Quite an ego you have, miss, taking blame for stealing bliss!

Ruth: I’m contrite! Wasn’t right! My pillow is drenched every night!

Buddy: You make me ashamed, my dear, I chose to chase it— you hear? 

Ruth: I wish you had let it go, but there was no way to know.

Buddy: My gallantry would you excuse, had I not worn my shoes?

Ruth: But why’d God take you away, ‘stead of by my side to stay!

Buddy: In Him there is only Light— He’s sad, too, to see our plight.

Premium MemberSo Long Before Till Gone

We say: "So long",
not because goodbye is kind,
but because we hope,
time will hesitate,
before being gone,
before until rings shut.

We stretch our longing,
so thin, so long,
it begs its time,
to delay its gong,
'til after the last bell.

We trick our leaving,
until it forgets to go,
betraying the staying;
left in the swan song.

Time keeps the till.
Love keeps the change.
One counts what is leaving,
The other what is remaining.
Both wait so long—
'til the till clicks shut.

Premium MemberThe Last Time I saw Him

I met with Him

Before we were nothing forever.

I did not speak of feelings;

The strength of my words

Could not be measured.

It was enough that I was with him.

As the sun is with the air,

As day mingles with night

in the twilight and in the dawn;

Two Oceans overlapping,

Caressing every shore.

In every moment we shared

I absorbed him.

He will remain in me

Long after I am gone.

I will carry him with me

Until I reach my end.

And He will know,

Forever:

That He was Loved.

Premium MemberThe last step out of hell

"The heavy gates have finally latched behind you; the debt of your struggle is paid in full with blood and time. As you step through those golden doors, I offer you this parting gift: the quiet, shimmering realization that you are finally free. Go—and do not look back."

Premium MemberGoodbye Brutis



    My friend had to put his dog to sleep today,
        he was a Dachshund only five years old;
                   loyal, brave, clever, pretty eyes,
                   feisty, beloved, with floppy ears.
    Brutis had a "big" dog personality all the time,
        loved most people, children, and other dogs;
    Oh, Brutis had so much charisma, so much charm,
        I can see him walking with that wee hop in his step.
               But, Dachshunds have delicate backs,
         and Brutis suddenly became paralyzed.
                    No surgery possible,
                    no other option ~
    So, he said goodbye and I love you Brutis today,
         you were a little warrior-  now, go get your wings !

Premium MemberGoodbye, my darling

he walks among angels now ~
though it broke my heart
i had to set him free

Premium MemberA Poem of Unfulfilled Romance

I lit a Black Excalibur cigar; the night drifted away. Your gentle voice echoed off high walls. We danced in shadows, where hopes do sway, But fate denied the dream that love recalls. Your gentle voice echoed off high walls, Promises whispered, fading with the dawn. But fate denied the dream that love recalls, A story written, but its chapters gone. Promises whispered, fading with the dawn, The distance grew with every longing sigh. A story written, but its chapters gone. We learned that love can’t teach the heart to lie. The distance grew with every longing sigh, We danced in shadows, where hopes do sway, We learned that love can’t teach the heart to lie, I lit a Black Excalibur cigar; the night drifted away.

Premium MemberLove Isn't All You Need - The American Jewish Left


   That’s right. It left.
   No longer part of the living, breathing Jewish People
   Dwelling proudly in its ancient-modern ancestral homeland, yet 
   Witnesses to Jew-baiting and Jew-hating reemerging worldwide in our times 
       a mere 80 years after it led to the murder of six million
       innocent sons and daughters of Israel
    
   The Left will be welcomed back 
   with open arms
   should they come to their senses ~
   before the haters they love to appease slaughter them all

Premium MemberSage and Forgiveness

White sage burns in the new year 

A higher power is summoned 

For strength and peace of mind 

I ask that we be free of pain 

 

Smoke slowly sifts through the morning sun 

As I cut the last ties that tether 

And shed this mess of anguish as I grieve 

The loss of one I hold so dear 

 

My voice rings clear as I practice forgiveness 

To myself for holding on for so long 

I let go of hope that he’ll ever come back 

Or that the feelings I imagined were real 

 

Now I burn these words in the frigid air 

Good-bye to his hold on me at last 

The memories will fade deeper into the past 

As these boundaries are set to restore
