Somewhere Beyond Our Goodbyes

I know you know its true .. and you know, I know, you know I do ..

Somewhere Beyond Our Goodbyes

Look beyond the symmetry

of a perfect horizon

and note how the silver edge

arcs along those

shifting, unfamiliar lines,

like a smile arches upwards ..

Come walk with me

and let us sip the moments ..

Let us each rejoice

and ache together for soon,

the tide, shall turn against us ..

And then, we shall go

our separate ways, with just

a sorry farewell wave,

yet such, exquisite memories ..

Stunning imagery Neville. As for the tides, they turn twice daily always have and always will. This piece has a haunting quality. I see ghosts here. Sorry farewells, speak to me of guilt. Beautiful poetry and it certainly is a poem of love.

I am your 29th visitor today yet your first reviewer. Be sure to have a happy Sunday.

A handful of ghosts and a woman in blue.

Thank you so much and kindly Chris ..

My Sunday has been quite lovely .. Hoping yours has been too.

Impermanence, sadly, is in the nature of this place where we pass our days. Even the seemingly best relationships can go south, sometimes rather quickly. Like very much the advice to "sip the moment," for in truth, the moment is the only thing we ever have. Good show here.

I am indeed honoured John .. many thanks .. Neville

Sorrowfully romantic, beautifully sad. Another great write.

With love,

It is said that sometimes just before the sun sets over the horizon a vivid and extraordinary flash of pure green is seen. I have only seen it once. But now I have seen the beauty of it twice. And this is a perfect true love poem.
