Sunset In Eden Poem by Uche Nwanze

Five years with wings flown away like the wind.
Whispers echoed from a distance.
Smoke bolts into the clouds.
Roses Sprouts and withers.
Leaves deciduous in the harmattan dance.
Seasons come and go.
You remain indelible in our hearts.
Candlelight burns and extinguishes.
The Sun wakes and fades into obscurity.
You will remain an enkindled flame.
Your innocuous smiles, I miss.
Your impeccable persona, undeniable.
Your undeniable charisma,invincible.
Your virtuous trait, unforgettable.
Your flawless beauty, unrivalled.
Your humble disposition, exemplary.
Your gentle mien, admirable.
Your candour, amiable.
Your aura, divine.
Life never the same since your Sunset.
A big hole in our hearts.
A large shoe, no one will ever step in.
A huge vacuum, you left behind.
Your smile, I will see tomorrow.
Your voice will resound again.
Your warm embrace, I will get someday.
I know tomorrow the Sun will smile again.
I will heed your call, your fragile hands I will hold, as we walk to the gates of immortality.
