Notes About The Poem
The inspiration for this one came from the long relationship between two middle school students on the school bus I drive and my hope that they do not get to caught up in it so quick that they find themselves in trouble. They also remind me of Romeo and Juliet in some sense. 

Unknowing Hearts

Wrapped in the passion of the moment
 engulfed in a cascade of a emotion 
 carried by a gushing torrent of desire
 dancing on the rapids of uncertainty
 two unknowing hearts intertwined 
 in the rapture of blinding passion
 rush toward forbidden waters.

 In the midst of love's blissful chaos
 will two unknowing hearts whirl 
 perilously over confusion's cliff 
 and plunge helplessly toward   
 the jagged rocks of ill-fated love,
 or will two unknowing hearts 
 be found desperately clinging
 to the last branch of innocents?
