INNOCENCE

A red-golden sky o'er a soft crystal lake
A bold pair of eyes ... the price at stake
Each move I make is echoed back
Each word I speak ... the eve's so black

Beneath it all is innocence
My own ... and hers ... the mood intense
The trust involved cannot be broken
All that I say is carefully spoken

I cannot betray those eyes that I love
Nor those lips ... descent from above
I cannot conceal the lust in my blood
Pressing closer ... my feelings flood

Gentle wind on gentle lips
Souls on fire ... passion's kiss
The Summer fades within our eyes
The Winter comes ... from bliss to bliss
