THE INNOCENTS

 

 

 

 

They sat by moonlight’s glow of sprinkled stars

pledging their undying love…

the sky lit up with the redness of Mars

in their arms they held the world of love to their breasts and

the promise of Venus’ deliverance imprinted on their hearts ~

 

the moon disappeared in the midnight sky

to thrust these lovers in ebony space to the point

beyond ecstasies’ petalled path

won from the struggle of two lost lovers drawn

by gravity to each others arms ~

 

Eager lips pressed and love whispered sonnets

written in the passion of amore’s pen of righteousness

they lay in each others arms then

with the peace and tranquillity of innocents they slept and

dreamed their dreams forever ~~

Ah, but love's pen doth impute righteousness does it not? I really liked that line; an astute observation on social behavior. This was almost sci-fi in its feel which was very wonderful to me. I love the old sci-fi like Ray Bradbury and Arthur C. Clarke. But this was love poetry as well, an unusual but remarkably delightful mixture. Great stuff.

Very enchanting piece... young love blooming is such a pure thing and you captured with such bliss and passion.

[Salvatore Buttaci]

You never fail to convince me, as I am reading your poems, that they were written by a tender heart with much writing expertise.

Dear Helena...a wonderful, passionate write of the undying love of star struck lovers.
Young love is so beautiful...first love is unforgettable...even when lost. It seems we
spend the rest of our lives searching for that first wonderful feeling. So sweet.

very romantic with such a serene yet passionate and steaming write...
the ending left me somehow in an awe
beautiful imagery

[Legion]

That was purty. :) Great invocation of imagery. A beautiful piece. Was wondering why you didn't capitalize "mars" though? Intentional (and, if so, why?) or accidental?
