The Innocents Poem by Helen Crutchett

They sat by moonlight's glow
Pledging their dying love.
The sky lit up with the redness
Of Mars and in their arms they
Held the world of love to their breasts.
The promise of Venus's blessing
Imprinted on their hearts,
The moon disappeared thrusting two
Lovers into ebony's silent space.
To the point beyond ecstasies' petalled path
Worn from the struggle of two lost lovers
Drawn by gravity to each other.
Whispered sonnets written by the hand
Of amore's pen of righteousness.
They lay in each other's arms
With the peace tranquillity of innocents
They slept and dreamed their dreams for
All eternity~
