Here lies my auctioneer friend, Ron
One final ‘going, going gone!’
His gavel's laid at rest as well
We bid him now a fond farewell.

now watching
that last moment
sun,
not dying
but merely
going to sleep,
slipping
over hills
and under cover
of nightfall,
i too
am now dressed
the part
and soon bid
a fond farewell
to the day....

Fireflies flicker flashes,
flying freely
finding food, friends, family...
Fireflies float forward,
fearlessly flipping
frolicking field's foliage.
Fireflies furnish fiery flares,
fleeing fast...fond farewell!...

Above
I glimpsed
The heavens.
Peering deeply
Into endless depths—
Past stars and nebulae, 
Galaxies vast and distant—
And then supernal realm of light.
Awakened from life’s persistent dream,
Free at last, I must now bid fond farewell....

Sunset over rippling sea's
Seagulls hover on a gentle breeze
Enchanting colors rise up high
As night slowly wraps around the sky
Shadows and silhouettes dance on waves that swell
Wishing you their fond farewell.

FOND FAREWELL

Says she
Farewell, come back
To me

I’ll wait
Please do not be
Too late

He’s sure
They’ve never met
Before

You greeted us three months ago;
the summer sunshine was your smile.
Your breezes spread the jasmine’s scent,
and warmed the day for kids to play;
then heated hopes of lovers hearts.
But now as leaves fall from the limbs,
with heavy hearts, a fond farewell.

Summer hurries by,
Through green and brown
To gold and dust, they die,
The leaves which summer had caressed
And breathed upon and gently brought
To all the stirring shades of autumn.
The seasons now embrace,
Each bids a fond farewell
As teardrops freeze
They part,warm hand in hand of ice,
And cheek to frosty cheek....

Merry is the way you spin me around, its no hard sell
Just you and I enjoying time on a two-person carousel
I heard no sound when that heartwood tree fell
Focused only on your sweet scents to which I smell
You're proof that pennies are worth wishing to a well
Your lips touching mine, till our next fond farewell...

I will never live forever
I don’t even want to try
Tomorrow might be just another day
Or today the day I die

I will live as long as
I am remembered
But only for a while
Mourners do also pass over
To the other side

I will live for now 
Hoping I will get another day
All I ask for
Is the chance
To say I’m sorry
And bid a fond farewell...

Belly up to the bar, boys
Let's have another round
And bid a fond farewell
To our old friend Johnnie Browne
 
Johnnie was a tootin' lad
With a heart o' gold
He'll be missed, you can bet
May God rest his soul
 
We'll leave his mug on the bar
Just in case some day
Johnnie wakes with a mighty thirst
And happens back  this way...

Handshakes,kisses and fond farewell
with destiny's tears ,no thing could quell

Explosives  whistled all around
where red petals now colour the ground

Lives sacrificed for us,now free
lie quiet as blossom from a tree

Each requiem  slowly brought a tear
stripping  each sense of its veneer

Crysanthemums now lie on each grave
thus did fortune favour the brave...

Glistening tear drops from her bright blue eyes fell
he watched the diamond remnants caught in her spell

With her tears she did him quell
her heart without him just a shell

He held her tight in fond farewell
off he was to face the shrapnell

If he would return she could not foretell
until he came back she would live in hell

Fond Farewell



Questionable relationships,
Blemished with disappointment.
Unforeseen deception,
Sincerity a sham.

Self-interested motives,
Fair-weathered associations.
Politically correct affiliations,
Unforgivable avoidance.

Cast-off, black-listed,
Circumstantial accusations.
Self serving agendas,
Betrayal no more.

No love lost....
What comes around, Goes Around....

It’s my deathbed piano sonata 
Fond farewell I say to a lotta 
Note: At door there’s a fist-- 
A bouncer with the list 
Of any persona non grata  


Author's Note: This was inspired by my neighbor Lillian.  We were talking the other day about dying and the fact that certain relatives would not be welcome at the party--the ones who have been nothing but trouble in life.  Can't we at least enjoy our own demise?...

So as mine eyes embrace your beauty's soul;
Alas, my love, my darling my mind embrace you whole;

Never a fond farewell nor a goodbye;
Tears roll down your tender brown eyes;
~
Engulf in visions of inspiration love;
Kissing angels dance and ever glow;

My life yet ends as we begin;
In favor of a love woven each of us in our separate sin;

Who is love love
Farewell those wetted tears I shed
Take a bow
I greive for love
Don't mourn for me
Joined infinitely, you said
But I want to live
Without yon dreams
The shadows are my only companion
Farewell those the sadden tears these I shed
Fond farewell ado my darling
Farewell to the sadden tears these I shed
Fond farewell to the sadness so do dwell

it happens every time
I didn't sign on for this
here in every line between
happiness and reminisce
I fell for your charms
I melt in your abyss
and there is nothing I can do

sometimes it all implodes
c-4 taking down the shell
touch and taste it all
look deep where it all dwells
you can stop this spinning
as you bid your fond farewell
you can put it in the papers
yesterday's news will sell
and there is nothing I can do...

With a heart heavy with sorrow 
To know you gone into eternal night
I bid you farewell

With a head full 
Of wonderful memories of you
I bid you farewell

With the hope of seeing you again
In the glory of God
I bid you farewell

Your soul has left your body
But it hasn't deserted my heart

I bid you farewell
But I will search you in my thoughts

I bid you farewell
But I will find you in my heart

I bid you farewell
But I will meet you in my dreams...

IMAGE PHRASIS III
Sunset peeping ‘neath wine dark clouds
on a sky of celestial blue,winding brooklets,
narrow streams,rivers of childhood days,
forgotten meadows lush with grass,dancing
grasses,scenic views of woods,carpet blue.
Now shadows across the lawn,a scatter of
rain,silent on the evening breeze,all senses
merge in destiny’s tears a fond farewell
to yesterday’s dream.
From my Twist&Slant 2005
Listen to me recite this part phrasis on youtube under my pen name ichthys chiro...
