Press play before reading. Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
Will I still miss tasting those soft echoes of your name
And all those irreplaceable dulcet tones which helps to transcend
All these painful strands of deep anxious emotions which still remain
Only I will ever know the true answers and will never reveal them
For they will reveal my inner world
All my new and old cacophony of vulnerabilities and ongoing pain
Well as I type
As this beautiful French singer before me
Devours my emotions with such poise
This is my final goodbye
My muse
My old world
For a new realm beckons within the glorious lights of Paradise
Which through the mists I now can see
As it stands so inviting like a familiar well lit bar before me
On Fifth and Main
And I will carry you proudly into it like a magnificent red rose
Lightening up the encroaching darkness like a beautiful Christmas tree
A pocketful of warm memoirs used so exquisitely to help transcend so many dark cold nights
For whenever those stunning memories of us together
Like in my favourite photo
Suddenly re-appeared at random
I always felt blessed to once have you
For a short while within my sight
When you were young and so incredibly beautiful
To help lead me out of that old cave of darkness and soul-stripping loneliness
Using pure love as your heroes candle each day and night
For everything else
As I now look back with the gift of profound hindsight
Seems so insubstantial
And so I say a heartfelt goodbye
As I step into the lights my angel
Out of this
Purgatory's dark dirt
Au revoir mon Amour
(Goodbye my love)
Car bientôt les nuages sombres entre nous se sépareront, et nous serons réunis, et nous n'aurons plus besoin de nous faire mal.
(For soon the dark clouds between us will part, and we will be reunited, and no longer need to hurt.)
