While We Are Apart My Love Poem by Matthew Holloway

While we are apart my love
~
My sweet Aphrodite
How it pains my heart to be without you
To miss your smile and laugh
To search my thoughts to remember
That glint in your eye
The full beauty I see you forever encased
What poems and songs
I name in you honour
The stars themselves a heaven above
Hold no more for me
That being there with you my love
Oh sweet girl I propose
To gift my heart to your hand
That your gentle touch mat hold
All I have and all I shall be
I count each passing minute
As a bane of time against me
Till I am with you once more
