PLEASE an erotic Devotion poem

Please.  

 Please —
  (I ache
     desire) …So
Let us drop our clothes to dress the floor
And breathe a pause in our dance of  alluring
To flavor the anticipation
With our eyes reflection 
    of our passion’s eager invitation
For your paced approach…
             To advance…

To fall over me…
Completely,
So I am then with the all of you —
Moving the afternoon’s darks to light 
To ignite constellations within me…
As we lie bare and you need 
Barely to touch me — 
    turning your fingers into feathers
    so I tingle all through 
         becoming unaware of anything else ~
Losing consciousness, to float —
 Equally losing egos to gain the enthralling — 
And own the moment’s sensual progression — 
As you answer my opening
 And I meet your conquering 
With my own instant’s overwhelming…
Rising  warmed
With our hearts’ full embrace so
Wondrous inside.

This love poem is more erotic than my usual love poems.  
It was inspired after listening to Caroline Kennedy ‘s anthology of poems about human relationships, having a chapter called, “Making Love.” 
e.e. cummings wrote one that was read, also O’Hara and Donne. Wow!
