You sent me a tear flower
made from white tissues
of your pain and sadness
a beautiful gift
months have passed
since i received your flower
and now you want nothing between us
still, this saturday I sent you my best wish
my heart lifting my entire being
of unconditional love
for you and your little girl inside
momentary, true
stepping outside my house
looking to the heavens
I thought i saw an angel
but it was a white flower
arms in welcome release
core stretching across the sky
lips forever kissing
and each one virgin
O's of pulsing wonder
I wanted to stay there forever
the synchronicity
the heartache!
I turned sadly away
not wanting to accept
the natural movement of dissipitation
Author notes
the beginning of a long goodbye ;(

Hi Isabella,
I have read this poem many times and still I notice how my heart beats faster as I am reading it.
The image of the tissue as the "tear flower" is an extraodinarily simple, pure and powerful picture. It is clear to me that I find 'goodbyes' a heartache in my life.
I blown away by the lines:
"lips forever kissing
each one virgin
O's of pulsing wonder"
There is, for me,in these lines tremenduous life and passion.
Your final line is incredible:
"the natural movement of dissipitation"
I hear your struggle in this acceptance.
I wish you everything you need in this "long goodbye."
Warm wishes,
Liveddog. -
