Lovely Lovelier Loveliest

Lovely is the name he bequeathed her 
on occasion he could recall when they met
variable soft silkens rest upon her breast      
even her lips pursued his inner mindset 
like every young man consumed in fascination 
insecure,  doubtful, hesitant and now totally finished 
even before he could begin to approach his lovely
sullen was his smile, "Would you care to dance?"
together the silkens now lay upon his lips

Were you describing the state of the lady, with your title? or the escalating feeling the reader would have going down through these lines? "together the silkens now lay upon his lips" ... perhaps that's when it became ... Loveliest.

I actually didn't realize this was an acrostic until reading the comments ... an extra bonus, then.

The setting and the mood of this poem lends itself well to the subject matter of young love. Emile.
