My Juliet - 5 : 12

My Poet - 4 

"Thy words, darling -- warm honey 'pon my tongue, 
Charmed I was, as if in a glamour.
Thy deftness of quill hath woven thee
Of far superior cloth than callers past;
T'was thy love of craft what won my eye --
A love I coveted, I doth confess. 
Pained was I, in sending you my note;
Near to dawn, each word twice rewrit,
Plagued by nerves. What if I looked the fool,
One salutation, among countless more?
Yet none could beam so very joyfully
As I did, at reading thy reply. 

T'was as if pulled into a magic place;
What paradise-- what Eden we had made! 
Heaven never so aptly defined,
Celestial did I feel, within it.
Knew then, I did, to whom my bliss belonged. 
Within are notes I have for thee prepared;
Each of our dialogues saved, transcribed
And recorded in each precious detail,
Every piece of us, in every form. 
Remember me this way, I beg of thee!
I would not be memorialized
As infected with this ruthless plague!
  
So beautiful, our place -- it freed my soul.
To place my trust in thee so thoroughly -- 
To have thee, with thy words, pluck of my fruit --
No greater pleasure 'neath the risen sun,
Than to have been chosen as thy muse.
Thy words awoke a furnace deep within;
'Twixt mine aching breast and melting thighs
Such realms of ecstasy I never knew. 
From our first parlay, I burned for thee;
Every part of me was yours to tend,
And I would serve thy every lustful whim.
Thine utterly was I, even then. 

For thee did I so completely fall,
But soon would I receive the fateful call.

- Juliet."
