Bye my love
as a tear of trace
falls into
timelessness

Bye my love
as the beat slows
in ebb...

Bye my love
for each moment
and memory...
each time I hear or see...
or taste, smell or sense...
shall last a life of a
thousand lives...

I can only say bye....
For “good” is a word
that does not fit with
“bye” when all there
is....

Is now only a
memory...

I am pleased to say that it is pure fiction,
thank goodness....Just stretching wings
on a clear day...when I should be writing
happy thoughts....

Thanx PS...

You are so right! I don't like farewells---there's nothing "good" about them!
---and isn't it ironic that a greeting such as "hello"  begins with "hell"!!!

Wouldn't the following words be more appropriate?

     "hell-bye" instead of "good-bye"

     "goodo" instead of "hello"

There! That's better! Makes more sense now, doesn't it?

Magnus darling heart and writer of nights wonder, this is breathtakingly lovely. I could sit and drink at the fountain of your wisdom from dawn to moonset, and still I would find you infinitely fascinating, I would garner knowledge in your garden of wordy delight. Shower my soul in your voice and let my mind tread the ways of truth you have mapped. This is sad but incredibly beautifully written, as always you write divinely darling man and I love it utterly utterly love it. One of your extra special ones darling heart, I’m glad I got to see this


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Barry, I understand just how you feel, and also that the memories are not good, but they are truly dazzling and bye just fits the sincere and heartfelt feeling! (sigh) This is beautifully aching, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Barry

Emotive writing...goodbyes can be sad, but also can open up doors to hello.

I don't like good-byes, so let us not. Magnus this was an interesting piece of work. Enjoyed. Chris
