Goodbye, Georgia Poem by Windsor Guadalupe Jr

Georgia, like the waves
You are transient.
Your scent will remain here,
Coiling my neck.
Your sonorous laughter will bellow
And the fires of your love
Will billow and ebb -

I will never forget you, Georgia
In this enthralling captivity
I am left with reminiscences of your
Eyes that glint like silken things,
Arms that flail as wan as a caged canary,
Your essence that stuns the gods on their seats,
Hair of pristine symmetry -
Everything was ephemeral.
This ballast – a phase of unbelieving,
Wounds that unravel,
Scars that are undaunted,
My bed is satiated with your epistles,
Your caprice that left impeccable impressions,
Your small wonders and wander lust.
I kept them securely,
Until the day you bid farewell.

Goodbye, Georgia.
In the morning I will remember you
Like the dew of the sapid flowers,
Modestly dropping on the perishing floor.

Goodbye, Georgia.
In the evening, before the slumber
This quietus of a night will forever hold nostalgia,
I will remember you like the sea
Like the wind, like the waves and the turmoil of the trenches.

Goodbye, Georgia.
In this abrupt union,
I will remember you.
You made the clocks sojourn
Until we are lost in time,
In continuum.

Goodbye, Georgia.
