Dear One

I gulp a flame of desire
At the sight of your ecclesiastical attire
Being proxy for a pacifier
That elicits a comfort for my quagmire

Your smile, your smile 
A sun in a darkened profile
A moon that illuminates the eventide. 
Oh lily of the while
You let your movement twist my writing style
And your utterances, parch my bile

Your cheek,
Comely and with a perfect sleek
It brings forth my devotion like to a holy week
My arteries gape and tweak... 
When your eyes greet my eyes in streak
And I feel your eyes can unbend an oblique

When you call my name,  l inhale peace
Right from the direction of your sheen anatomical masterpiece. 
It flows into my centrepiece
And makes me say "how I need this! " 

This aura of hightened affection
Induces my heart's rhythm section
My pulse beats to the sequence of your rock n' roll session
Your complexion, 
Makes me want to have no objection
To any of your imperfection
But to uphold your perfection

Your entirety is graced
Euphoric and grippingly fun-aced
Your pulchritude is emphatically embraced
And your probity, well showcased
Appeals to my aftertaste

Once have you spoken, twice have I heard
Like you stole the password
Securing my ghost word
From where I will fangle your byword
Please don't make it your watchword
Rather let us build on the foreword
