I don't want to say goodbye
not now, not when I tremble sweet
like ripened berries on a vine
that fall inviting at your feet

Please, don't make me say goodbye
nor leave the treasures found in you
the wonder, beauty in your eyes
that shine with rainbow colored hues

To Love in all it's splendored glory
I am no stranger, novice~child
you added pages to the story
that freed my heart, let it run wild...

Bitter-sweet, our memories
of promised love that cannot be
a dream for two amid bright stars
washed away upon turbulent seas

I don't want to say goodbye
though I know now that we must
taking with you all I am,
my love, my life, my heart, my trust,

I don't want to say goodbye...

Oh, now I have to really cry, you so touched that sad thing inside of me. Wow, it sure is hard to say goodbye, especially when you DON"T WANT TO!! I see you wrote this 9 months ago, how did things turn out?
This poem is so beautifullly written, you said all the things I tried to say about a similar situation, but so much better.
Peace.

Tiersdin, this is very lovely...we don't want to ever hear you say goodbye...not when you write like this...

I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Catalinamoon: As it turned out, I had to say goodbye or destroy so much more than my heart. Thank you for commenting, and understanding...


Sunshine: I think you are aptly named! What you've written means more than you know..

Tiersdin, this is so poetically pretty..
so lovely in its wording...
beautiful imagery lace with bittersweet emotions
very well written and expressed

Danced butterflies in the wild
This angel, this woman ,
who loves me with the innocence of a child.

Beautifully expressed, Tier!  With a such a bond, goodbye just doesn't seem possible, does it?
Love this!

TiersDin~
A lovely piece.
Sometimes goodbye is said out of necessity -
and that makes it sadder yet.

Janet Marie: It's always a pleasure to read your comments. They have such a poetic quality to them. Thank you so much!  *smiles*

jmlee12345:  I do understand what you mean... sometimes, though sad, it is the best thing for those involved... Thank you for commenting...

snowpants:  *chuckles* {I like that name!}  You are so right... it would seem that such a bond would keep two hearts together forever.  Honestly, it's because of that mutual love and respect that good-bye was said...

Marge Tindal:  I couldn't have said it better myself... thank you!  *hugs*
