Demolition by Soft Touches

Make me tremble, Dear, with dulcet delight.
Whisper mellifluously in my ear,
and let me see stars exploding tonight.
You have my permission; break my veneer.
Shatter all doubts that I may have of you.
Jack hammer my heart. I want it to pound
as gently you kiss my lips like you do.
In your caresses, I want to feel drowned.
Stir me with feelings I’ve not felt before.
All of my emptiness you can backfill.
Wreck me for feeling this way any more
with anyone else. Please say that you will!
With your soft touches, Dear, go on a spree;
utterly, lovingly demolish me.

Andrea, the lyrical content and framework harmony of the poem work perfectly. It clearly has a great idea and a fantastic flow of imagery and metaphors. Good luck with the contest.
