Goodbye Laws Give me just one last look into your inner space let me linger one last time while our eyes embrace Read my palm once again our future to unfold let me brush your hair away before our love turns cold The moon, the stars belonged to us They promised not to fade You turned around the universe and tamed the tidal waves Your power turned my night to day Your strength stood still my heart No sky will ever be the same When you and I depart I leave you now with salty tears My heart entwined with yours There is no way to gently leave There are no goodbye laws c2002SimplyGold |

No good in goodbye. Death would almost be a relief and plausible end to an affair. At least one wouldn't have to deal with the aftermath or carry heavy hope. Enjoyed. |

The moon, the stars belonged to us They promised not to fade You turned around the universe and tamed the tidal waves Your power turned my night to day Your strength stood still my heart No sky will ever be the same When you and I depart I leave you now with salty tears My heart entwined with yours There is no way to gently leave There are no goodbye laws =========================== this is a wonderful poetic mix of imagery and cadence...it was a pleasure to read aloud. The personification of natures forces to express the emotion added to its appeal I love this verses intent: The moon, the stars belonged to us They promised not to fade You turned around the universe and tamed the tidal waves and these lines: No sky will ever be the same When you and I depart very cool analogy to define the devotion. I enjoyed this much and will watch for more of your work. Well done!!  jm If all the tear drops went to heaven |

I must agree somewhat with Mr. Wells..sometimes there is no good in goodbye... longbye shutthedoorbye even adios if you are coming back, then fair thee well... even good bye your leave, if you are coming back... now you've got me wondering what it was I meant to say...Oh Yes...excellent write... |

I can see by the intense comments that this theme is one that runs deep. I have learned the hard way, that it is sometimes more painful to leave someone then it is to be left. Yes, RS I can see that you have been there. Thank you Janet Marie, for your comments. I especially appreciated your notation concerning reading it aloud. Cadence ironically, is something that I have been studying lately. So, it was very astute of you and much appreicated that it was picked up. Maybe, my studies are paying off! Sunshine, Magnus, Gentle Spirit, Thank you You are right, no matter how you say it or in whatever the language, there is no easy way!

SimplyGold Love, the invisable thread, that wraps us in happiness or unravels us...with no easy way out except to cut the thread. You wrote this heartbreak well! |

Sometimes there isn't much else left to say when all those before me have done so...It touches many, for almost everyone has said goodbye at least once. M |

Yes, the invisable thread is linking us together. May we all find solace in this bittersweet universal human emotion. You have all touched each other proving that ultimately we are not along. Thank you. Affectionately, SimplyGold |
