Sappy poetry

I've been working on two versions of, essentially, the same poem. One (elvish fire) i prefer in cadence and subject matter, but the second (innocence lost) is an honest reflection on some stuff i've gone through recently.

Elvish Fire
Ruinstone pages, rocks of ages
Spellwords of the Elvish mages,
Mystery of an ancient ire,
First conceived in Elvish fire

Rocks and armor turned to dust,
They rust that were the rich man's trust.
Shocks of amour, burned the trust
That once we thought the wedlock must

[etc. I have more verses]

Innocence Lost

A look, a touch, a nascent seed,
A pause too much, a growing need
To see if this unhampered urge
Can boredom end, indifference purge

Ruinstone pages, rocks of ages
Spellwords of the carnal sages,
Mystery of an ancient ire,
First conceived in passion's fire

Rocks and armor turned to dust,
They rust that were the rich man's trust.
Shocks of amour, burned the trust
That once you thought the wedlock must

I'm surprised no one has commented on your poetry. I really like some of the imagery although the subject is sad.
