To earn the honor to call you my love

Darling, you have made my life feel complete!

You have captured my mind, my heart, my soul.

You have made fair those things that once were foul,

You have converted scents sour to sweet.

In repay, I pray, I greet you replete

With all you crave; I give you in turn, whole:

My mind, my heart, my soul; I here and now,

Unchained, lay deftly stationed at your feet,

Every ounce of my passion for you--

My Aphrodite, my Venus, my love.

I hunger; I ache, and lust through and through

To earn the honor to call you my love,

To earn the honor to make love to you;

To earn the honor to make you my love.
