Farewell Beloved... Farewell Poem by Walter Sanson Lotilla

I bid you adieu... my fair one
... Thy last embrace so etched...
... in the recess of my tortured heart

In the midst of my solitude, I remember so vividly...
... those smiles... slowly beaming... yet so tender
... those tears and laughers shared

In those few precious moments...
... a sense of quiet contentment... felt so profoundly...
... so long lost... somewhere... in the distant past

Time now has tolled its bells...
... between dreams and the inevitable reality...
... as darkness slowly creeps...
... I seek in awe for some light...
... yet finding only myriad of crossroads

Farewell my beloved... farewell ...
... may the blooms continue to ease the pain ...
... may the sunlight beyond continuously shine forth...
... an endearing ray of serenity...

... Farewell beloved wife... farewell ...
... till our next embrace...
