Tis not Some Verve of Want

Sensual indulgence is not enough,
for it culminates slowly to this,
my culpable grief.

Appetite that would soften quick,
doth not know calenture,
nor could it appreciate its’ myriad nuances.
For inasmuch as passion be abstruse liquid,
regardless ‘tis not some verve of want,
a conclusive thrust toward beatitude.

Less innocent of twilight be love,
yet slower to wed to the heart.

She is a slivered kiss beneath a Prussian moon;
Vienna waltzed within the heart,
the courtly orchestration of grammar,
aimed to arouse from stammer to cadency,
both body and mind.

When love be readily a volition to be or not,
she is just a Jezebel,
an abstract feigning,
which upsurges when inclination would don raven hosiery.

I love thee more than that. Can I have this dance?

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

Well done :bravo:....she is lucky to dance through life with you, dancing to and fro, with words of poetry.
The dance of love, of life, what a dance it is!
