Goodbye my love

Goodbye my love

As I lay my head on the feathered pillow,
And gently close my eyes as if I sleep,
Your smiling face comes to my attention
And my spirit is released from boundless deep

Though I am but a wary migrant
That this life did not teat so well
Spasmic wars across my native Borntown,
To the devil even my soul did sell

Now that my life changed into something better,
I do not even wish to recall
Lest I find that I am still dreaming
And wake up to find me still on shore.

My sweetlove, my goddess Aphrodite,
What I did, I'm sure was for the best.
I shall once again meet with my forefathers,
And finally from this life I shall rest!

With the aid of these small coloured tablets
I shall slowly disappear from this life, 
Rest assured that I have always loved you,
Though in this life you'll never be my wife.

Clyde, An interesting and clever write about a love that now is resigned. Your imagery and wording are quite mesmerizing. ginga

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
