Saying Goodbye
by Anthony West
So soft
the brief touch of your lips
on my cheek.

Was I almost intruding?

"Look after yourself "
should have been
"I love you!"

Then the Jumbo flew over
my head
and I shouted my love
above the roar
and thundering thrust

. . . as if you'd hear.

Through the clouds in my eyes
I watched you fly away
and wished I'd been born with wings.


  1. This poem is beautiful too. There's this song, I found recently. I'm not sure if you've heard it, but I always thought it was a wonderful song. It's called "Life if like a Boat" and it's by... Rie Fu. You should listen to it.

  2. thanks i will

  3. so beautiful and clam
