Harry Potter-My Love: Farewell
Author's note: I've been a huge Harry Potter fan for as long as I can remember and I adore this series and always will. I have just finished reading the 7th and final installment of the wonderful, excellent series (The Deathly Hallows, 4/13/08), so I am a little teary and sad right now, because it is hard to believe it is finally over, so to vent my feelings and express myself on my view of Harry Potter, I decided to write a poem. Enjoy.
p.s. Props to J.K. Rowling, she's an excellent writer. :)
Harry Potter, my love, my only
I've loved you since the beginning and will miss you
My tears trickling down my cheeks are certainly not wasted
Finally Harry's victory has come into view
He has done what has been needed to be done with Voldermont
He's been through many painful experiences which have only made him stronger and wiser.
I will never forget you Harry Potter; you were one of my most loved books, the best;
I can barely explain the pain I feel, now that it is over; it is done, never to resurface again
But at the same time, I'm happy that your ending was beautiful and simply perfect
I cried when the last word passed through my lips and my eyes traveled down to only blank paper with no more words typed neatly in black ink.
Out of sadness and realization I read the last couple of words of you over and over, as if I thought, that would make you continue and not end.
There is a special place for you nestled in my heart that can never be nudged or damaged.
I will remember all the times I've cried, laughed, contemplated, and simply put, enjoyed reading you, from edge-of-your-seat-suspense to silent-words-that-expressed-and-showed-more-sadness-and-happiness-than-any-drawing-or-painting-could-ever-show.
You always knew how to capture my heart and my undivided attention.
I blow a kiss to your pages and your crease, your ink and your book cover.
At this point, there isn't anymore I can come up with to say, these feelings are too strong
So without more words to add, I bade you farewell and goodbye.
My love, my only, I will never forget you
My fingers no longer press against your sides or your smooth-silky title
I will leave you now in my bookcase and will smile whenever I pass you by
And know that you were such a wonderful book, so instead of letting my tears continue, I will just let out, a big, happy sigh.
Author's note: Oh wow, I'm crying right now as I type. I really did love Harry Potter. Ah well. Hope you enjoyed. Please remember to review; I'd appreciate it, thanx. :)
