No Sunshine When She's Gone

 I wrote this to mirror the feeling people get when they lose a loved one(a female loved one). The feeling of loneliness and longing for the past good moments which will not be experienced again, the moments of wonder and shear joy. I hope you'll like it.


  It's like winter,
  When the nights are so cold.
  It's like harmattan,
  When there is no beauty, but just.......dryness and emptiness.
  It's like a rainy day,
  When the spirit is damp and the soul is awash in despair.
  It's like a hailstorm, 
  When the soul is battered by threescore and a dozen conflicting emotions.
  It's like a sunless garden........when she is gone.
  There ain't no sunshine when she is away.


  When she is gone.
  When she is away.
  A million miles away.
  Many mountains and seas away.
  It feels like torment, like hell, burning and raging like the blue of a flaming inferno.
  It tastes like a beautiful recipe of life, 
  Missing an essential ingredient.
  It sounds like the well struck and strung, chorded and keyed music of the universe's orchestra,
  Lacking a voice as priceless and pure and perfect as her person.
  It feels like a vision,
  Bereft of lustre and colour, and brightness as beautiful as the sun repairing to it's home in the horizon beyond.
  It's like a sunless garden........when she is gone.
  There just ain't no sunshine when she is away.


  When she is gone.
  Gone..............
  Gone..............
  Gone with the wind;
  Gone with the sparkle of the stars-
  Floating in the silvery blue sea of the sky;
  With the beauty of spring;
  With the smile of the sun.
  It's like a sunless garden.........when she is gone.
  There ain't no sunshine when she is away.
