The Passing of Cornelius

The Passing of Cornelius

 

My very dear Cornelius passed

In Amsterdam last week

 

But since we were only friends

For thirty or so years

 

I don’t want to make a big thing

About it

 

Nellie told me quietly yesterday

About her loss and his passing

 

The whole of Sunny Beach and

Nessebar are now in mourning

 

As is Vasco and his lady

And of course me and my dear zenna

 

Sleep tight dear Bürgermeister

My good friend and ninja warrior

It's hard to keep in contact often even with all the family members, but all of them are always in our thoughts, I am sure our family and friends know that. I hope you have had some time to yourself to sort out thoughts and find peace of mind, my friend.

I am sorry for your lost Neville. We shall have few true friends. Us, who love to write. Can keep people alive, at least in words.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's never easy letting go of a dear friend.
May each memory be painted to last.

Thank you my dear Cherrie... indelibly, I do imagine, such was his character :)

After thirty years of friendship you will be feeling the loss of Cornelius without any question of doubt. The loss of friends that go back that far hurts. It seems he will be missed by many. Ninja warrior and Burgermeister, a man of many qualities. I am unsure of the meaning of zenna but I imagine it is someone who has healing powers. A fine tribute Neville to an old friend who was special to you. May he RIP and you dear poet, may your grief soften quickly.
