You Left Poem by Michael Eziudo

Where did you go?
Here's my candle light
And the glow from my lantern's light
Their flickers fall on all objects
But not on you, oh,
Where did you go?

I hear still from far deep down my head
The gossips we did
The plans we had
And the laughter we shared
I'm running again to meet you
More in my head I want with you to review
And I'm knocking now your door, I want to know
Where did you go?

Do you remember your song?
That one you always sang?
It has its amplifiers on my head now
I can't get it to stop, how?
Do you remember my song?
That one I gave you to sing
You said it was like a child's play
That you'll coat it to be trendy play
And we laughed it off, didn't we?
Talk, please, answer me
I'm still waiting to hear it
The melody you've made of it
But now even the day lights want to know
Where did you go?

You have touched the lips of humans
And left something in their hearts
You will need to do it with the angels
With concerts and symphonies you're to in heaven organize
Have you gone there to do with them so?
Or where did you go?

Should I open the heaven's door?
Is that where you are?
Should I look in the ocean's shore?
Or has your ship sailed afar?
Did your breath vanish with the winds of the trees' air?
Or are you somewhere
Happily watching me and yet crying there
Because no matter how much you try to stretch your hands
They can't lay grip of even my shirts
I'm still asking, oh,
Where did you go?

You had fought a good fight
I hear many attest
But how the red earth will eternally have your bones for a keep
When the earthlings would have had your flesh neatly cleaned
Is one joy that'll leave endless dance of each my lap
For I know your soul as a result in deed
Is in that place of rejoicing
Where souls are promised of pearly mansions since long time coming
Where you're called now to manage an estate
As it is for those who won and don't want to continue winning
Your choice makes it too heavy for me to accept what I know
So I ask with a heavy heart that causes endless tears to flow,
Where did you go?
