|
beneath the dark island moon
they walked together
pledging their eternal devotion
passionately in love
his insistent kisses
and the scent of jasmine
upon her skin
so blissfully intoxicating
how certain at that sweet moment
their future seemed
together forever
but in the shadows
another watched
with jealous eyes
and a different vision
making a silent pledge
of her own
that yes, forever would be -
but not
as they had planned...
