Goodbye Poem




Prompt:Write a Hello and/or Goodbye poem.
Wednesday, April 24, 2013

last goodbye…
one grain of rice
left on a plate






Ink Lasts Longer

Stop weeping over
a poured out
dream.
Dry your tears
and write me.
Ink lasts longer
than love.






عندما غاب وجهك
داخل الزقاق الطويل
رويدا...
رويدا...
حسدت الزقاق
لأنه ..
عانق ولو لحظة خطواتك المغادرة

لماذا
تقول وداعا
أما كان بإمكانك
تجميل الفراق
باحتمال لقاء..!؟


When your face
disappeared
gradually,
I envied the alley
for ...
it managed to hug,
even for a moment,
your departing steps

Why did you say goodbye,
when you could beautify
our separation by
the possibility of
a new hi...!






the parallel lines
of the railroad tracks=
missing you

  1. Wow! SO many goodbyes you give, all marvelous! I love how you move from the tear at the train to the parallel train tracks "missing you."
    "Ink Lasts Longer" is both a cynical and a beautiful truth. But my favorite is the alleyway who gets the last hug while the face disappears. I am so sorry that I cannot read the second alphabet ...
    Thank you for the beauty of these poems.

  7. Loved the parallel lines of railroad tracks, followed by the "=" sign, so clever you are! But my favorite? "Ink Lasts Longer," the idea of a poem waiting to be written. And the title, so apt; so true! Peace, Amy
