Onto thine lips the call of life is traced,
With passion’s pen that inks eternal tie
Awaiting; for ‘tis there the call is placed
For love to rise to live or fall to die.
For ‘tis the lips that seek the hidden key  
Of love’s cryptic lock; the lips but a gate
To the garden of thine heart; this a plea
To taste sweet-scented calling of our fate -
So light thine eyes, and etch with crimson ink
The deed that dormant lies within thy heart;
And let mine prove a shrine for thine and link
Thy soul to mine in single spirit part:
But should my heart to thee unworthy prove,
Forever it shall seal its lock of love.

CastleGuard, that was simply beautiful, and alluring.

When I first read this I was renedered speechless.  Not an easy thing to do.

This one hits my top fav. list.
