Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
"GoodBye Not Gone Long"
My Goodbyes Cling to Your Exits
and
They Linger Strong at the Thought
of
Missing You
When You Are Gone
So
How Do I Pass the Time
When You Are Away...I Think of Your Face
And the
Advances You Make
Toward Me
Before You Exit
You Give Me Warnings
About
What to Expect
So
I Get Used to the Idea
of You
Being Gone
But...I Never Really Do
So...You Know That
And
You Give Me Yellow Roses
Six
Because Thats How Long
You Will Be Away
Six Roses
For...Six Days
Yellow Roses Symbolizing Goodbye
Yellow Roses Reminding Me
of a
Goodbye 6 Days Long
"I Am Strong"
"I Can Handle That"
Because
My Goodbye's Cling To Your Exits
And They
Linger Strong at the Thought
Of
Missing You
When You Go...
Goodbye...Lingers
(Pause)
At the End of the 6 Days
I See Your Face
And
I Am Overjoyed at the Sound
of the
Entrance You Make
And
You Stay For Awhile
And
You Convey This Time
That I wont Have to Cling to Your Goodbyes
Because
This Time
You Wont Be Gone Long...At All
And
Reflecting on That
I Feel That Your Goodbyes
Will Never Be
That Far Away...
Again.
