   .....one single word

Lady, all I have's a word
  to lay a gift before you...
    a word I'm sure you've never heard,
      though many must adore you.

For you have qualities so rare
  that they in contrast all outshine
   rare jewels! And whate'er you wear,
     flowers fade beside your features fine.

If I were rich and I could bring you
  rare perfumes, ...exotic pets,
    they'd just diminish in your view
      as more of old familiar nets.

So, I'll come squarely to the point.
  I bring a word no rival can endure!
    A word that saints use to anoint,
      a word all maladies to cure!

A word so powerful in scope
  that you must yield your very soul!
    A word that now I more than hope
      will win your heart and take its toll.

And that one word for decades that I sought,
   ...and found at last! ...now I forgot.

Oh man...........I needed to know that word too. Darn it anyway. This was .......well in one word........."Fantasmagical".

Loved it and you caught me with the ending.
