Eiffel Tower
As lovers need to FALL in love
They're often drawn to landmarks, tall,
Once up above, they pour their dreams
On lowly mortals, one and all.
Now, there's a perfect pinnacle
That rises high, beside the Seine
Where lovers who have scaled the heights
Return, with joy, time and again.
Locked hand in hand, they make the climb
E'er searching for the highest ledge
From whence to cast their tender hearts-
A sacrifice to seal their pledge.
This beacon has become a shrine,
A place where those who still believe
Can rise for ever heavenward-
Where hearts are lost but never leave.
The architect could not have known
His vision would withstand such time
Transcend its, merely, metal form
Achieve the essence of sublime.
