My Loves Ascent

I Know you from a distant dream.

     For splendid shapes that soften senses,
     capped peaks that tempt a caressing glance,
     to you, clambering, this cold heart doth dash.

     My hands embrace the danger of your delicacies,
     soft powdered curves that drift to tease,
     that lead to thoughts of conquests, yet,
     yielding mysteries willed to unfurl
     with each attempt to own such honor.

     Your granite plumes soar to touch the heavens
     but stoop to own one anguished soul.

     Possessed by none,
     Save God...

It needed to flow better, but commendable, none the less. Please make "know" in the first line take a small initial letter. Well done for making into my list of winners.
