No goodbyes shall be accepted
Because wherever you are
You shall all the time be in my heart
The accepted expression
Used at parting, saying farewell
I say is not applicable here
As they say in the heart of Africa
Goodbye for now, but not forever.
Likewise shall we part physically
But know spiritually inwardly
There shall forever be a connection
A deep, lasting, unbreakable bond
Of which I shall all the time be fond
Wherein shall I continually find
Something to ease my weary mind
Pleasurably pass the day's time
Rest, be content, and sublime
Entertain and enliven my heart
That from you I never depart.
Our tender hearted affection
A magnificent work of art
Though invisible to the eye
This intangible, impenetrable force
Can melt my heart, make me cry
Transcend questions as to why
Such love gives me wings to fly
Strengthens my courage like an ox
Uphold my backbone and resolve
Gives me wisdom to question solve
Heals my wounds with anointed salve
Opens the aorta and heart valves
Embracing, nourishing, and comforting
Captivating and continually intoxicating
Enrapturing my childlike imagination
Endearing my most tender, costly trust
Though I realize one day I'll return to dust
Than I shall bypass all of this earthly fuss
The chase of passions and possessions
Every evil seduction and devilish digression
For in love there is a muting of apprehension
A silencing of fear, which comes with torment
Timeless love is ongoing, indefatigably defiant
Inclusive, welcoming, not merely self-reliant
Know that when you miss me, I than am nearer
When you think of me, my voice you shall hear
My smiling face you shall suddenly happily see
As you tune in to your heart's inner frequency
Therefore do away with goodbyes impure
True love is everlasting and all the time endures
Of such a love for you I am positively sure.
