Wow, I go away for a while, and these writing assignments just get harder and harder! Ok, here's what I came up with. A most silly attempt, I think...
Darkness, absence of light most pure
Two strangers joined only by love
Spoon each other in the waning night
Breaths abated as the skies alight
A lone butterfly darts and swoops
And lands upon the maiden’s foot
Suddenly, her heart turns to ice
As the memories crash through
Hold me closer, she pants
Drinking in his scent like wine
