No Goodbyes

With hat in hand the truth arrives
Too tired for much ado

They tell us now that grandpa Joe
Had something worse than flu

Premium Member I Put the Fun In Funeral

Whenever I die
I much rather they not cry.
Rather just goodbyes.
No pity, nor wonder why,
Just God opening their eyes.

Red

Red!
Shy in positive sense
Red face
Or timid!
Goodbyes 
To those who love by their eyes
Welcomes to lovers by hearts

When i look deep into your eyes,
It sometimes makes me shiver and realize,
That i absolutely dread the day of our goodbyes

Just hours before now
we were landscaped together
my 3 sons null, void
fateful meetings of goodbyes
Solitary confinement

Never Say Goodbyes

take my hand and fly,
Never say goodbye.
Cross the open sky,
Leave the world behind.
I will be alright.
If you stay by my side

No More Tears Left To Cry

A friendship or love Goodbyes are a second chance To start life over

Left Breathless

We just said goodbyes
And I miss you already,
Leaving me breathless
Twice, at the first sight of you
And the last one for the day

We Cry When We Break

well the moon has arrived
no longer goodbyes
we give and we take
then we cry
when we break
sometimes dreams
have nothing to lose

Goodbyes

                  death
                  winter
          leaves moist eyes
          gliding goodbyes
                 guilt

Fire Leaping From Your Soul

What fire leaping
From your soul
Saying the
Last goodbyes
What shade of 
Gray shadows
Telling their story
Still ghost passing by

You Are,,,

Even when exhausted
And doubtful of your image
I still think you are...
From the early mornings to
Late night goodbyes, always are...

Recurrent

Like the old songs goes, 
The sun set upon the shore. 
Waiting to be sang. 
Lovers kissing their goodbyes 
High, nigh finally aligned.

You Lied

You lied to me. 
You made me believe.
You hurt me.
All I asked for was the truth.
Turns out "The Truth" was a lie.
So I said my goodbyes.

Goodbyes

Goodbyes

Tongue of fire
Licking the casted letter
Each word dissolves
in its passionate grip
leaving nothing but 
dead bodies cremated.

Premium Member Not all goodbyes are final

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

Goodbye

No one likes them much

we must use them at least once

tears are prevalent

although some are not quite sad

Goodbyes are always must haves
Form: Tanka

Passing Eyes

A glassy reflective sky…
A glimpse of passing eyes…
We’re never truly alone…
Frequent smiles shown…
A tear or two not dry…
A spirit without goodbyes…

Premium Member Unsaid Goodbye

Mind defeats reason
Goodbyes said without a word
Win rational thoughts
When unexistent feelings
Are seen as reality

If Parting Is

If parting is
Such sweet sorrow
I must have failed to notice
That saccharine sentiment
When I left you
Because goodbyes solely
Bring dreadful distress
