Peerless

Each passing second your Love 
Etches its seal on eternal slates, 
Proving fleeting affections drear,
Yielding warmth that never sates. 

Infinitely warmer and soothing more,
It trounces fickle throbs of mortal kiss, 
Eclipsing legends' amours of nymphs
Hugged by knights into hollowed bliss.

None comparable to fabled stories
Lauding mimicking flames of yore, 
It permeates envy's diamond walls; 
Caressing loneliest canyons below.  

Your caress's unlying promise heals
Rude adder's strikes ignorance deals, 
And balms vipers' capricious stings; 
Surefire cure beyond temporal flings.
