How Do I Love Thee

How do I love you, how shall I sweetly explain;
I need to see you, for your lips, I would never wane.
Graze your fingers upon my body, set me ablaze;
I must have you now, stand not amazed.
Allow me to touch you, give me this sweet indulgent sin;
For I beg you to take my innocence, oh, worthiest of men.
I yearn for you, for love’s sensual taste;
Keep to slow motion tonight my love, make no haste.
For all we have now is dear sweet time;
My heaven shall be yours, pleasure shall be mine.
Allow this heavy moment, for you, my virtue I abdicate.
Think not of morning, but of the love this night, we’ll create.
Gently now, heave your passion upon me, my mortal body;
As though this gratifying ballet, be an unceasing melody.
I close my eyes, but not to replace a beautiful face;
I dive into your embodiment of an intrinsic embrace.
So pleasing is this moment, a union in paradise;
Every moment of this night shall be immortalized.
In heavy breath, we succumb to advent flood tide;
With a sweet intoxicating kiss, a promise directly implied;
To love no other, so not to deflower;
The everlasting sovereignty of an intimate power
