Hello Goodbye Poem by john lino ponzini

HELLO

If you were to come with me,
I would be your best friend-I pinkie swear-I would be your true companion-
partner in love, kind and loyal-if you would just come with me.
Say hello and glide to my heart and hold it gently in you hand-
you can have it, if you would just come with me.
Then I w ill say 'hello' and you will say 'hello',
then off we go




GOODBYE


Go with the gentle wind go,
I will stay and watch you cross the mountain pass-
through the mines where men are buried,
then into the somber black hills -
where the god of wind, .Zephyrus, bellows, huffs and puffs
stirring your heart to beat strong and definite.

Go into the shadows of the night, and I will stay and watch you slowly vanish over moonlight's horizon,
Zeus welcoming you to his Heaven as seraphim's embrace you.

Yes I will stay as you are swallowed by your dream of bountiful men
who will love you effortlessly, indifferent to your misgivings.

Yes I will stay.
For to move from where I stand,
on the cliffs of Kesh,
looking at Earth,
I would fall down on my knees at the vision of you
crest fallen in the embrace of false gods.
