Pure Devotion

Young moonlit eyes flame
  
    roused by infatuation
       until seasons change...

     hearts bearing nights’ languished  thorns 
as pure devotion ripens

Nette.. indeed this is a hot write but maturely so. Words used to effectively arouse feeling, more so than describing a static, albeit romantic, scene. You can almost touch the allure of infatuations grip. But then infatuation ripens into devotion. Beautifully painted!
