Exquisite Love (Hybrid - Nonet-Rictameter-Reverse Nonet)

Exquisite Love:

Mesmerized by your every soft touch,
bringing forth exquisite feelings.
Each moment of bliss lingers,
enjoying your caress.
Warmth of our bodies
is so Divine,
heavenly,
we now
kiss.

Our love,
heated passion
escaping all of time.
We are lost within each other,
together bonded in our long embrace.
Have eyes only for each other.
Our minds communicate
without any words
Our Love

Love
has bound
us now and
eternally
together as one.
We are two souls now one.
We know of no beginning
and we cannot see any end.
This love, a gift from heaven above.
