Question

eclipse
in the dwindling twilight
of youth,
friendship fell along the wall
of innocence,
crush came across the door
of courtship,
enchantment etched the key
of adoration,
devotion discovered the dwelling
of maturity,
promise produced an aisle
of engagement,
love lingered at the altar
of matrimony
in the sparking illumination
of experience.
