A Student's Confession and Appeal To His Professor

My beloved friend and esteemed professor, 
     is it so wrong to worship and admire
you with so warm and glowing a splendor,
     which is unbounded with heartfelt desire?
Your silhouette is my Achilles's heel,
     and your lips (what lips those are!) dare I kiss?
Your soft skin glows with a warmth that reveals
     to me a sensuality that I miss;
I am undone! For you are my dilemma.
     My need for you is embarrassingly clear!
Must I extinguish this overwhelming fire 
     which I have for you? For you are most dear.
Were I not just a student or your friend,     
could we be more before this sonnet's end?
