I know that love is mere' her scent
It lingered there as I awoke
As into love's warm-breast ascent
I died on every word she spoke
For every second that we spent
No other could such joy evoke

Great artists' dreams could not enhance
Her beauty in that black shift dress
When gifted of her claiming glance
No ounce of love could I suppress
So know that I will ever dance
In her undying tenderness

The softness of her inner thighs
The fruits of love that tantalise
My whispered name on entry sighs
Sweet passion reached, no compromise
Those melting sapphires in her eyes
That's love, I've come to realise.

"I died on every word she spoke"

Perfectly put. I've felt the same way many times myself.

"So know that I will ever dance
In her undying tenderness"

Now that is a killer line, the kind I'd give my right arm to have written. Beautiful stuff all around. Great work.
