Notes About The Poem

Since She's Been Gone

Since she's been gone from his life
        stars in the night have lost their spark
           The sun has lost it's sheen. Colors 
       of the rainbow now bleed into each other; 
                   it's no longer a rainbow.

        The house he lives in was once a home; 
           it still has a roof, but what good is it 
       on a house so empty? He pricks up his ears 
                 day in, day out, anticipating
               her to knock on the door again.

             He's been looking out the window
                 watching strange faces pass
          east and west, wishing he'd spot her.
                   He's wistfully wondering...
                "How long will I have to wait?," 

                    He saw her smiling face
                    in the distant full moon,
             blinked and didn't see her vanish.
             He's been missing her ever since.
