A whisper, soft, and quickly gone,
To walk the creaky stairs.
Up to this sacred room of yours,
Footsteps echo in pairs.
And to the door we walk in silence,
Hand in blessed hand,
And open unto glorious darkness,
Light in no demand.
A sweet and noiseless laying down
Of two so breathless shakes
The air around and drapes rebound
From our now moot mistake.
And perfectly our lives do change
From two bodies to one;
This soul is reunited now,
This rite of proof is done.

"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt" William Shakespeare
To me, this line lacks imagery, just because the way it was formated. Soft and quickly doesn't seem to describe the whisper, but more of it's leaving. I would suggest "A soft whisper, quickly gone," That gives more of an image and more of a mystic feeling. When you are using describing words, make sure to play with them, yet make them fit in the place where it should get the proper and best effect. Also, the next line seems to suggest that those whispers would be repeative, because most likely, you would be walking up more than one step. So maybe you should use words for repeatition.
"Up to this sacred room of yours,
Footsteps echo in pairs."
To me, the way you put the lines seem to nullify any effect they may have. If you put a line like "The stairs creak with sound," or you switched those two lines around, the thing would sound more natural and have a good effect.
"Light in no demand."
I just have a suggestion for this one that you can ignore if you want. "Light the undemanded" Generically, it isn't exactly a word in the dictionary, but people would know what it means. Though, the line you have now works fine.
"Of two so breathless, shakes"
What shakes, exactly?
"And perfectly our lives do change
From two bodies to one;
This soul is reunited now,
This rite of proof is done."
I just have to add I love these lines. Two bodies to one is a great use of imagery to represent a spiritual merging of two people.
The last line "This rite of proof is done" is kinda...effy. Maybe you could of used more descriptive words, like strength, endurance, etc, because it seems the rite is talking about the bonding.
