Remember

You are the star that shines in my eyes,
I am the man that comes in disguise;
Like moths that flutters on wings of chance,
We fly into arms that love to dance.

On the balcony the rose vapor clings,
And the nightingale joyfully sings;
Bringing a light in my heart, a song of desire,
A flame in my soul to light the fire.

The soft embrace with a luscious kiss,
The sighing moments of divine bliss;
The still reflection of luminous eyes,
Where passion flames and apathy dies.

The archer's bowstring triggers a dart,
An arrow to pierce your reckless heart;
Fingers to tumble in your tangled hair,
Arms to hold, a time to share.

The hopes, the fires of lover's dreams, 
Flower in the light of soft moonbeams;
The mist of night flows over us till,
The wine of love has sipped its fill

So romantic... even Cupid's arrow makes an appearance! Beautiful imagery and phrasing, and, of course, magnificent cadence and rhyme. :)
