A goodbye inexplicable and unattainable
A goodbye unspoken and unexpected
Composed a crater in my bosom
Accompanied with garlands by the grave
I glimpsed a carved name,but on heirloom
Whimpered puffs whispered “I am here” in my ears loom
Come back home as a shadow or a dream
To conclude the incomplete feats
And twinkles of utmost gaiety meets
In entity we loved you fondly
A man with a huge heart missed immensely
The grins and chuckles makes me dawdle
Hobnobs and mingles will be memorable
Burdensome inklings assemble
Griefful goodbye grumble.
