A willow in the rain,ribbons on rainbows
alongside a stream...we au revoir..again...

while fantasizing my reveries
auscultating to silences, expecting for pledges
the infant I was, told me au revoir !...

Blood
drips
cold
through
breathless
necrotic
lips,



au revoir.

LOST LOVE


long parting kiss-

imprinted upon my lips

her lingering heat


tears flood my cheek

I whisper au-revoir-

winter clouds my soul...

Change
the clock,
au revoir-
Summer waves bye
bye-
Fall
falters,
daylight fades,
yellowing the
glade-
dark 
and damp-
November
closes in on
me...

I thought I'd saved my best for last
    yet it seems the month sped by too fast

  Glad to get January out of the way
    so Punxsutawney Phil can have his day...

Where shadows puddle
     grey
in
moon’s crimson halo,
where
Winter’s frost makes even
more silent the air,
    you will find
my frozen tears
    buried in the snow.

a brushless artist
teases a waiting canvas
a-shift on the wind

as hoar frost passes
a shrinking of violets
petals on pavement

soft melting sunset
beauty imbued in the trees
Autumn’s au revoir

Smell the burning rubber.
Hear the screeching tyre. 
Watch in awe as the wheels fly off 
and the chassis catches fire.
Then avert your eyes.
Say your au revoir.
The casualties are packed in tight
Limp inside the car....

Lizzo
Where did you go?
Here for just a short time.
You packed everything up and left.
It looks like you made a lot of friends here.
You left without saying goodbye.
That really wasn’t nice.
Good luck to you.
Au revoir.

Aye
and to sigh,
yet never goodbye...
our reluctance to say..
to close..to leave..
to part..to kiss
farewell;
weider-sehn ,perhaps
au-revoir..later..
see you..wave..then watch
'til
we turn away
and cannot see
no more...
Aye
and to sigh....

pause
         progress
up
     down
             wait
STOP
         thoughts
on 
     hold:
calm
        descends,
ascends..
          au revoir
adieu
         fare thee 
well

a happening of thoughts inspired listening to 
Satie Gymnopedie no 1...

No long goodbyes 
No fare-thee-well 
No until then or sadness 

No au revoir 
Or short adieu’s 
For what we leave is madness 

No cheerio’s 
Auf wiedersehen’s 
No quick so longs or sorrow 

Though we’re forgone 
Our lives go on 
And there’ll always be tomorrow...

Seemed impossible but here we are

At first it was very bizarre
But you made all my past scar
And all the bad is now far.
Smoking your cigar
And never saying "au revoir"
I am the luckiest cookie in the jar
You're better than Renoir.
You are the brightest star,
The Sun....

How good to see you,
Mon Ami.
At last me meet,
You and me.
Pull out your saber
Sharp and slender
Prepare to duel
May our hits not be tender

You coat is wet, I bid
Bonsoir 
Good bye you fiend,
Au Revoir.
Your blade is clean, 
Mine is not
All is seen
My blood’s still hot....

I say to le "grand fromage".
You and your pastiche attachè.
You with all your rakish, cliche.
You think you're so Debonair.
You with another au pair.
You and one more rendezvous.
You again it's déjà vu.
You and another faux pas.
You always with Au revoir.
I say so much "bon voyage....

Good morning, bonjour
is it AU or EU
I've had a undertakers dream
That I cannot tell the difference
Mr Bishop can you give me your Latin leadership
I regret my misunderstandings
French is such a revoir
Tell me the difference between
AI or EI
My progress is transfixed
between the real and sought after...

Goodbye for now,
I promise I'll come back somehow.
Ciao for now,
I'll return to you somehow. 

Sayonara for now,
My role in your life's play ends with a bow.
Adios for now,
My influence shall be in your memories now.

Au revoir for now,
I promise I'll never forget thou.
Farewell for now,
I'll someday fulfill that vow....

There is the fear. There is the stress.
Life now out of kilter, life before this mess.

Where do we stand, how do we call?
In a different land than ‘‘twas afore.

There is the menace of the right fires burning. The horizon dims as the world keeps turning.

The England I knew of my life before, it’s not that England anymore....

Listen to poem:

Warm tears of joy like angels in the rain
Flowed in rivulets down your cheeks again
When we hugged au revoir in warm embrace
Tears caressing your lips with genial grace

Your tears fell like raindrops onto my lips
Tasting warm and saline like blood in drips
Oozing into me as I lay dying
Watching an angel play her harp crying....

Get over it
You are lost 
And you don't even know it
Don't even know what you want
Think you know what you want
You are confused
easy to be led on
I can read you like a book
so easily misguided, steered
Like a stupid lamb
Don't want to deal with you any more
Not worth my time
Good ridddance 
So long
Ciao ciao
Au revoir...

Au Revoir ma cheri amor
I feel you pulling away
and knew that the words 
calling you back
are no longer mine to cry out

moments and memories
blurred visions of yesterday

that which I held as our forever  
no longer part of my tomorrow

I watched you drift away
intimately knowing
that I was to take
a separate path
