The Call

For the one I love, Ionia.

A gentle ring

The dulcet tone

Of a bell resounds

Inside my head

My heart does stutter

And skips a beat

As across the room

Our eyes do meet

A faltered breath

A sharp intake

Transcendence before me,

Make no mistake

A vision of beauty

Of heavenly descent

Perfection on earth

A miraculous event

The wonder, the joy

Of being yours

Through every impediment

Our love endures

And again I hear

That ringing inside

Leading me back

A perpetual guide

The bell, a call

To the altar of love

For you are always

My eternal love
