Swept away on a June night
Our young and trusting eyes met
Love an unspoken whisper
 
Three springs turned yellow autumns 
Memories made as leaves fell,
Our lives and dreams became one
Whisper transformed to a shout
 
Passion, summer’s fruit we feast
Lives entwine like vines this night
Our families become one
The shout now a sacred vow
I enjoyed the nature imagry. Some thoughts to tighten up the first stanza and reduce cliche:

Young eyes meet in a whisper,
their blindfold swept by a June night.

Removed unspoken as I don't think a whisper can be unspoken.

The bit about three springs is is a little confusing. I get that it means three years have passed, but then you culminate in one summer... it begs the question of what happened to the other two summers.

I would also consider changing the month in the first stanza to April, to make it clear that is still discussing the spring phase of the poem... Assuming that is correct.

I hope the feedback is helpful. Thanks for sharing!
