heaven is gone

heaven is gone by anelephantcant

once I lived in Paradise
a land blessed with the sun
but November came with cold east wind
and now heaven is gone

once I danced with angels
swam with mermaids just for fun
but they no longer visit here
now that heaven is gone

once I smelled golden daffodils
sported garlands bravely won
but all the flowers withered and died
now that heaven is gone

once I played games with butterflies
their soft wings gently shone
but they too are ephemeral
and now heaven is gone

once I created rainbows
seven colours one by one
then watched them slowly fade away
now that heaven is gone

once I loved a perfect girl
her beauty incandescent
but I contrived to let her go
she took heaven when she went
