Goodbye To Love


Goodbye To Love I traipsed through the night and the morning dew To open my heart stars crossing in queue And left on your doorstep blooming anew A floral surrender — of loves adieu ** The Delta’s Gulf Rivers of chaos flow into oceans of harmony ... Leaving the torrent in the delta’s gulf — for peace and depth ** New Feelings Poetry defies explanation Perhaps its greatest strength New feeling’s unfelt emerging unspelt Present — in the words ** Dark Dismay Spurned and left dejected his heart in disarray Falling from love’s precipice into dark dismay Trapped beneath the anguish without a last goodbye Buried in rejected shame — wishing he could die ** Pray Hoping for fame a slave to its portal Praying for truth — its blessings immortal **
