Your face was so peacful
Moonlit shadows dance across
your beautiful self
Tempting me to trace your features
So carefully with my fingers
Writing out the story of love
Found in your eyes
Spoken on your lips
Felt in your hair
Smell of your skin
Tasted in your kiss
But
I daren't touch you
To disturb this lovely picture
Innocence washed away
Replaced with virtue
On the night of your second chance
so long ago
So I refrain
Only to emit a sigh
And let your angels watch
over you

I thought this was wonderful. You captured all five senses in this poem, which appeals to the reader. Good job!
