Untitled poem

I am in a creative writing class and I thought I would share some of my homework.
 A poem with 8 stanzas, 3 lines per stanza, freewriting
 
Marriage unites the bold to a tower
wearing white and black to fit together
leaping to their destiny in unusual stripes
 
the years seem to scold the beginning
glowing in dawn's brilliant symphony
forcing time to play with the old man
 
I rust through the sediment of thought
using the natural hues of love
pulling them along to complete the circle
 
the love of mind melts into subconscious
dressed in peaceful intent
comparing faded youth to eternity
 
pencil seems to know where she goes
to wear the fabric of hormones
fighting perceived reality in a duel to the death
 
looking thru the window of home
shining faces now sublime
calling out to wait for me
 
he sees the breath draw thru the room
clothed with the innocence of there
melting into the new ideal
 
joining thru forever's hold
glowing with moon's breath
releasing joys to mine unfold
