Time Apart

He said his prayers just as
Venus lost it's glow.
It's presence overcome by the
pink of morning,
Heaving a tangy taste
of expectation.

"I won't be back Love
till the day has spent it's course.
I said my prayers for our time apart.
Kissing your brow, I tasted loneliness.
Kissing your cheek, I tasted Love.
Kissing your heart I tasted the eternity
that we will spend together.
Leave the flowers by the garden gate,
I'll pick them on my return".
