Short Byes Poems

Forever came to
Us in weaving light beams that
Held us in good byes...

His deep sunken eyes
Triggered to that old hang house
When night off get byes....

good byes never said
just like a nail through the heart
good thing time heals all...

Silently stormy shadows 
are gathering dreams to
dim the clamoring cries of
good-byes!


Cynthia...

Her byes on happiness deracinate
feelings of protection evaporate
emotions, woeful
lack of hope, scornful
deep mourn for love to rehabilitate...

Betrayed
by lies.
Dismayed
she cries.
Misplayed
she tries
to apologize.

Unmade
he sighs.
Unswayed
his eyes
display 
no surprise,
only 
good-byes....

Tempus fugit - Time Flies
    No time for hellos
    No time for good-byes
      Busy, busy, busy, busy...

   If so, the purpose of life
      must be to stay dizzy...

Seems my fame has travelled far and wide
My limericks have made a resurgent worldwide
May it continue a bit
Even without a permit
Hope to continue till it's beddy-byes time...

It's beddy-byes time in the old coral
Age dictates the length of the day in hours
If your eyes start closing
Having “it” while dozing
You know it's time to kick up the flowers...

A Dragonfly's Touch! Haiku

Dragonflies flew to me now
They know I am true-blue
With patented fly-byes
They stoically ‘fashion'  
 Inspiring visits...

Dragonflies set in my yard
I feel doubly blessed by that
With patented fly-byes
They magically anoint 
Me in faery dust...

BROKEN


Damn
that day
eye contact
love at first sight
failing visions lie
whispered good-byes
body found
beneath
dam

Instead of singing,
I hear screams,
No gumdrop visions,
Demon dreams,

Boughs have been broken,
Cradles fall,
No star-lights, star-brights,
Shine at all,

No pretty horses,
No rock-a-byes,
No soft melodies,
Dark Lullaby....

I wish we had more time
To say our good-byes
I'm sorry that most of our hours spent
Were filled with deceit and lies

I know you can't get it back
I just wish we weren't through
But once our time has come
There's nothing we can do...

We all are passer byes...
Traveling eternity skies
In heaven then born in sin;
Placed on this earth to be born again
Why must we try to be good
Why oh, why must we die hereon this world

"Buff-a-flies!" My tiny granddaughter points 
   to the black and yellow wings settling around us.
"Butter-flies," I agree with caveat. 

She scowls and refuses to speak again 
  until after dinner time.
Did I learn my lesson? Mostly......

One thing that's puzzled this old geezer for a while
Is it noisy in Boise or do they quietly walk single file?
Only John John can enlighten us
Don't mean to cause a big fuss
But then I can go bye-byes to dreamland like a child...

Read More

your eyes were a stream
racing through the forest
my heart a drum
playing a solem beat

i lay in the for est 
that tearful day
after our good-byes
to my left, a stream
raceing through the forest
to my right
a drum
playing its solem beat...

One thing that's puzzled this old geezer for a while
Is it always noisy in Boise or do they quietly walk single file?
Only John John can enlighten us
Don't mean to cause a big fuss
But then I can go bye-byes to dreamland like a child...

One Christmas, death showed up
To rip the bonds apart
And they, who were stunned -
Said their good-byes
Hastily at the tomb.

That same Christmas -
Another family opened their arms
To a transfigured man
Who wiped his eyes
And ushered him home....

The way you see me
Makes my heart cry
But there's not

A single tear in 
My eye
You placed me 

In your shadow
Silently standing
By .

Waiting like a 
Broken lullaby
Look deeply

Within my eyes
And just maybe
You will see
The sad good-byes....

You cannot miss my farm, the well-dressed woman visitor told me.
I missed it not once or twice but pass byes about three.
I never guessed that this fancy lady would have three goofy hens.
Sitting on a fence rolling their silly eyes and wiggling their chins....

You never said good-bye 
Gone just before day light
I was only two
And everyone wants you back-
just as bad as I do too!

Good-byes are everything 
Just because you were my everything
My inspiration,love and life
I wish you were back for one more life!...

I respawn,
Just to see another dawn,

I train,
Not knowing if something I will gain,

I fight,
Only to be bested by others' might,

I die,
As I wave my finale bye-byes,

Some days,
I swear,
I'm walking right into the beast's lair,

PvP,
It will soon be the death of me...

Leaves still clinging golden and true
after the first Autumn snowfall.
Boughs waving windy good byes to
the last of the yarrows white pall.

Fallow fields of rye long gone by
who also wave heartfelt adieu
as the wild geese cry flying by
so neatly arranged in their queues....
