O, The Rapture, Of You!!! (Sonnet)

O, The Rapture, Of You!!!

O, if I had, those lips, as mine, to kiss,
What a wonderful pleasure that would be.
It would fill, my heart, with unfathomed bliss
For, nothing compares, to your rhapsody.

If I had, your cheek, to lay, my caress,
With my every touch, love, you would know.
To place, my hands, upon, your silhouette
Would my longing, my passion, truly, show.

The grace, of my tongue, falls short, to express
The adoration, with which, I'm taken.
My words, your majesty, could not impress.
Let not, your ecstasy, be, forsaken.

To match, your wonder, there's, nothing, out there.
Your presence's, a Heaven, beyond compare.

This is a sonnet I wrote in honor of my Love Sonnet Challenge; (http://www.poems-and-quotes.com/discussion/topic.html?topic_id=56168) It was written to possibly be an entry in the challenge, but mainly, it was written because I wanted to see if I could write another good or even great sonnet, absent of an actual muse, some real inspiration. I enjoy writing sonnets and look to do the forms past history and the great sonneteers that came before me justice. Did I prove myself as a sonneteer with this one or put fourth an unworthy effort???
