Victims of Passion

The harbor's cool mist
moistens bare skin.
In the heat of the moment
they forget their sin.

A one-eyed lighthouse
winks at the pair
alone in the dark
they are without care.

A moment of chance
is stolen from time
as they spill on the beach
a bottle of wine.

Their passion climaxes
he's holding her hand.
Two lovers united
as one in the sand.

Cradling their love
in orgasmic weight,
unaware of the cop
who would soon steal their fate.

A moment in time
is stolen once more;
leaving behind their lust
on that sandy shore.

What's done in the dark
will soon come to light.
Two victims of passion
on one star-lit night.

I liked your poem, but found that you often disturbed normal syntax in order to rhyme.ex:

"as they spill on the beach
a bottle of wine"

I know that's being picky, and its harder to rhyme without that, but i think it will make an already-good poem even better. : )
