Feeling the texture of her skin is a pleasurable sin,
I maneuver to get to her, In her solitude and pain.
Always anxious for us to be in our place again,
the element of intent is to let joy back in.
To floss chaos right out of her mind and life,
ensconcing her in a purple steeple of love.
Banishing orange rage and meaningless strife,
the siren wont grin when we give her the shove.
In rhythm without schism, singing melodious music,
to soothe the groove, which skips making her sick.
A liquid wood filling the cracks, that leak the attacks,
stuffing a rag in the zigzag gaps, so they can't come back.
It's a sad comedy you see, that tragedy wont set her free,
not even a rosary, with surety ,will work completely.
But on my résumé today, I have the help from God,
polishing this diamond with fun on the path we trod.
The whole wide galaxy and especially me,
rejoices it will be done, she and I will be one.

A very attractive piece with a number of good rhymes. I think the combination "texture of her skin - pleasurable sin" was quite creative.
Thanks for sharing and entering. I'll enter a more detailed comment once the contest ends! Cheers!
