Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
It’s not warm when she’s away
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And she’s always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she’s gone
Wonder if she’s gone to stay
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know,
Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone
But ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
Only darkness every day
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

In this present time
I am yours
& you are mine
We are us
We are one
What is now joined
Cant be undone
I am the mead,
Your favourite consumption
Now and forever
Your eternal resumption
I will be your all
Your lifes blood
Your tourniquet
To stop your emotional flood.
With every second of every hour of every day
I make a wish that you’ll
Come back to stay
Bring back the warmth
Let the sun shine on my face
Kiss me like you missed me
Let our hearts keep pace
For this entire time you’ve been gone
My heart & my soul
Says it’s been far too long
An icy cold chill
Seeps through my clothes
Deadening my senses
Every time he goes.
Without a backward look
Going into the night
& taking with him
Every warning hope of sunlight
For I will forever stay
In the shade of the day
Until finally he wanders
Back my way
Wow…i really wished you joined our co-write yesterday…Anyways i love this piece. Happy Easter
Ain’t no sunshine’s when America’s down
And we sigh our collective sigh
And frown our collective frown.
The whole world is in this together.
As the whole world cries that collective sigh.
Ain’t no sunshine when America is down.
Good response. Sounds like the meaning of the song to me
Couldn’t help but notice trends in your poem…i love it. Please stay safe and Happy Easter
We parted ways
in blinding rage
ain’t no sunshine
sounds unkind in
weakness of mind
like a faraway nomad
crazy illusions plays
on my mind
your goofy smile n brown eyes
forlorn gone too long
brims in sunflower dreams
heart beat misses u
in Earnest longing of follies.
I’m glad you are back Mich! For a while now i have not been calling any Mich
Absolutely lovely❤️????❤️????❤️????????
