The moon is yet to hit the grass under my feet,
The night is so silent i hear my heart as it would beat,

Even the midnight can not bleach the rose’s red,
It alone remains when all other colour has fled,

I must know if you would meet me in this night,
Scanning the dark i can see no beacon or light,

Yet i believe you will come to me in the dark,
You have been my shooting light, you are my spark,

I still taste you on the tip of my tongue from our last meeting,
I remember all your words, even though most were only fleeting,

My palms are still sticky with sweat, you make my heart flutter,
That is why when i asked you to meet me my words were a stutter,

What i can not understand was the brokenness in your eyes,
Why you had whispered that it was the world that lies,

Yet in your silky voice you had promised you would come,
Your soft, loving touch had left my skin and mind numb,

The garden around me quietly quivered with the soft breathe of wind,
Now i realise to you i had all my hopes and dreams pinned,

No noise of whispered breathe or shuddering sighs,
You are not coming so no longer can i contain my cries,

I crumble to the silvery dew covered floor,
And wish to the Gods that i could be so much more,

The only company to my sorrow be the sickly sweet scent of a rose,
It’s sugary taste fills my lungs yet the scent stirs disgust in my nose,

All that lines my vision are the ruby red of the dying flower,
The moon and the stars laugh at me as above me they tower,

Silently i whimper as i pull my useless legs under me,
How much more had there been that i could not see?

My love, as strong as he had been, had he been locked away?
Was he called away? was it his duty that he had to obey?

Realisation dawned upon my broken hearted soul,
What if he had not wanted me in any part, or not at all?

In amidst the clutches of colour bleached garden i started to sink,
I was in a rosy despair, trapped in chains of red and pink,

My love, my strength, my whole, why have you forsaken your love,
You had been my angel from high above,





But wait, i feel a warmth consuming my body,
A voice strung by heaven, love embodied.





Oh fair angel, pray please speak again,
A chorus of laughter and joy parted your lips,
Despair filters away; you are all that will remain,
My sun is shining now i see you in the eclipse,
My love, oh how truly i am totally lost in your charms,
Pray never let me again drift from your arms.

Tears roll from your eyes that you can’t seem to contain,
‘No, do not cry,’ to your eyes i touch my finger tips,
Pain filters through his being as his lateness he tries to explain,
But i silence him, taking his face into mine and kissing his lips,
Pulling away from me he takes out a small little box and takes my hand,
“This is why i was late my beloved, i hope one day you'll understand”
