If your heart was a diamond, perfect and clear,
glittering gleaming like a broken heart's tear,
if lust was coal, dusty and black,
would it make you realize you want to come back?
If music was woven with golden thread
soft... like the locks lay upon your head
I would listen all day... and through the night
I would play it once more to make things right.
For if poems and words were always the truth
and were spun into realities as beautiful as you,
my creation would be worth the time that it takes
and the toll that it makes.
For days are like mountains and years are like hills
and the tears are the rivers that turn all the mills.
Though they bring sadness and though they bring pain,
Has one seen a rainbow without any rain?
Though things cannot last, still nothing can die.
It is a circle broken with only goodbyes.
An echo in silence... a wonder we forgot
the weeping of willow was all for not.
One less second is no concern of mine,
but one may wonder where goes that time...
You can think it like this, you can think it like that.
Will the thinking bring those moments back?
It has been so long, moments have been wasted!
Fruits of love I have never tasted
rot on the ground but will grow towards the sky!
It is the endless circle broken only with goodbye
Crumbling in my hands, the hopes of a past,
leaving, believing that all this could last.
The soil turns to sand and then sand into dust
and blows away in the wind... something bigger than us.
This greater purpose... this greater end
can be seen in every sunrise, every heart of a friend.
Coal into diamond and diamond to rust.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust!
So be it if words are spun into lies.
It is all just the circle broken with these goodbyes.
In the end... dreams will come and others will rust
it is ashes to ashes and dust to dust!

Beneath the sprawling blush of dawn, our feet became one
with the sands of Kiawah Island, grains glistening like scattered stars,
each a tiny sunburst caught in the curl of the earth.
We danced under the great blue dome, where pelicans
etched their grace against the sky,
wings slicing through the salt-laced breeze
in a ballet of dips and arcs over the rolling tides.
The sun bestowed its golden benedictions upon our shoulders,
a warm, lingering touch we carried
through the tapestry of days and evenings.
We listened—oh, how we listened—to the symphony of waves,
a constant hum, both lullaby and roar,
cradling the coastline in its rhythmic embrace,
resonant in our chest cavities, echoing the pulse of the ocean.
Seagulls, those whimsical drifters, traced their hieroglyphics
across the canvas of the morning sky,
their cries a tart melody over the whisper of shifting shores.
At night, the beach transformed into a moonlit stage,
silver light playing upon the undulating waters,
each crest a shimmering ghost, fleeting and ethereal.
Yet, as the tendrils of early summer weave through the air,
we say our goodbyes to these sun-soaked days,
to the theater of birds and the symphony of tides.
Our hearts, tethered to the rhythm of the waves,
feel that pull, that gentle tug of sadness, as we depart
from this haven, this sanctuary of sea and sand.
Until next May, when the sun reclaims its throne,
and the beach, patient and unchanging,
welcomes us back to its open arms—
our spirits will hold tight to the echo of the ocean,
a rhythm ingrained, a perennial whisper in our pulse.
Farewell, dear sands, keep our footprints safe, nestled
deep in your memory, as we keep you in ours.
Saying Goodbye by Rodgers Ja Brown
1
I once knew how to taste
I once knew how to smell
I once knew what intimacy was
2
I miss the taste of rain on my lips
I miss the smells of being close with my partner
I miss the smell of the pines and the ocean
I miss the act of being with my partner
3
I said goodbye to these things because
They were taken away from me by just
Living in this world.
4
Surgery took my smell and taste,
The war’s accident to the closeness of my partner
So what do I do
5
I said hello to sacredness to the wonderful
newness of life ahead and hello to
When one door closes the Lord opens another
6
I find I need the Lord more
I read the scriptures more
I say hello to Jesus Christ and
Ask Him to walk with me now.
7
He shows me a new way in my life
Can I ever be blessed with more than this?
I have learned to cherish all these things.
Somewhere between the silence
The excuses
The things left unsaid
And the things said without thought
I realised I was holding together
What was already falling apart
Giving grace where I felt hurt
Giving understanding where I received confusion
Giving chances where boundaries should have stood
But this is not a story of love turning to hate
It's a story of affection meeting its limit
Of a hand that wanted to hold on but forced to let go
Not because I wanted distance
But because closeness began to cost me too much of myself
Some endings are not decisions
But realisations
A moment when clarity outweighs hope
It was worn down by every moment
That made staying feel heavier than leaving
To become a man at seven
As my brother lay dying
At such an early age
Life to be trying
Awaiting the news
I,m now crying through my tears
Without my brother
Future fears
Believing there's hope
Maybe angels will say
Take care of your brother
For with you he will stay
Down the corridor i wait
As i hear the doors
A Doctor appears
As my tears froze
To my father he says
With a handshake he sighs
We just couldn't save him
We did all that we tried
I felt my tears melt
The ice in my eyes
We never got the chance
To say our goodbyes
Dad turns to me as i look in his eyes
The look of a parent
Knowing their son has just died
He held me close as we broke down and cried
Through broken tears, he says to thee
James my son, it's just you and me
We have lost Billy to a higher power
But he went in his sleep
Fading like a flower
" Dedicated to my brother Billy, knocked down in front of me at the age of 9 "

Unshaded Glades
In that distant land of remembered time,
I walked sunlit paths only lovers know,
With sharpened spirit and youth’s hope filled prime
In that fast fading past of long ago.
When life’s concerns were but a fleeting shade,
An interlude, cast on the day's clear glow,
An uncertain light in a sunlit glade
From which two lovers future story grows.
And now; recalled through those blurred ages past,
That distant scene is seen through time dimmed eyes,
O’er that far remembered tryst, shadows cast
Where parting lovers spoke their last goodbyes.
Now, a wistful yearning absorbs my mind.
Where, new unshaded glades are there to find?

The cold winter day he left us behind
A last spark of light would fade from his eyes
Now he can have back his body and mind
To sit on the sidelines, never the kind
But fog clouded up his where’s, who’s and why’s
The cold winter day he left us behind
Fixing cars til he couldn’t, nose to the grind
Missing the days of a brew with the guys
Now he can have back his body and mind
Glimpses of self fewer as he declined
Letting go before he said his goodbyes
The cold winter day he left us behind
Now he can finally relax and unwind
Now his young soul free of ailing disguise
Now he can have back his body and mind
Bittersweet, a loss but peace he will find
Maybe he’s dancing somewhere in the skies
The cold winter day he left us behind
Now he can have back his body and mind
It’s said she’s an angel in disguise.
She grew up in a small French town,
Playing on her Re’ island’s shores.
She’s a mother now, and all that implies,
Routinely going about her nightly chores,
After working in the neighboring town.
Like many other soldiers’ wives,
Moving yet to another Army town,
She got used to packing and unpacking drawers
She followed me across the skies,
Without complaining or keeping scores.
Without ever seeming to get rundown;
Now that I’m retired, there’s no more goodbyes.
She doesn’t have to run the house alone.
Painting the bedrooms, fixing faucets and doors,
And finding other problems—SURPRISE!
Tearing carpeting off a real wood floor.
We now have a real house of our own.
I'm so tired of the lies
I've heard... all of these stories before...
I say...it's time to show you the door...
You're so good at... telling your lies
but, I know how to read 'tween the lines
I'm saying... God only knows
if anything you say's worth believing
Chorus
I'm so tired of the lies,
searching for truth...hiding in the lines
I'm going to lay down some rules,
not letting you choose...
what you're going to do...
The time has come for letting you go...
but... I think you already know...
that it's...
time for goodbyes...
'cause that look in your eyes... is deceiving
I've learned... not to trust a word you say
I can't... believe how easily you've strayed
You say don't stay up waiting for me,
You say how young hearts need to be free
I know that...wherever you go
God only knows... what you're doing!
Chorus
I'm so tired of the lies,
searching for truth...hiding in the lines
I'm going to lay down some rules...
not letting you choose...
what you're going to do...
The time has come for letting you go...
but... I think you already know...
that it's...
time for goodbyes...
'cause that look in your eyes ...is deceiving
Next time... don't even dream you can stay...
I don't... play all the games that you play,
It's better for me not to give in...
'cause if you stay you'll find ways to win
All that I know...is that my heart,
cannot take... any more beatings!
Chorus
I'm so tired of the lies,
searching for truth...hiding in the lines
I'm going to lay down some rules,
not letting you choose...
what you're going to do...
The time has come for letting you go...
but, I think you already know...
that it's...
time for goodbyes...
'cause that look in your eyes... is deceiving
Chorus
I'm so tired of the lies,
searching for truth...hiding in the lines
I'm going to lay down some rules,
not letting you choose...
what you're going to do...
The time has come for letting you go...
but, I think you already know...
that it's...
time for goodbyes...
'cause that look in your eyes... is deceiving
repeat chorus and fade
