However... You



You are a knockout
a stunning knockout
with a gentle punch
You are a treasure
a precious treasure

You are the alluring wonder
creating an eager desire about her
an impatient lust for her
just one touch from her
a longing for your strong calming whisper

You are the full moon at night
You are the arousal of delight
You are the brightest star in the dim twilight

You brighten lives with your presence
with your elegant essence
this sentiment is sent to bless us
You caress emotions with your soothing lotion
easing tensions with pleasant aggression
You’re a luminous temptress fooling all of us
       teasing and stringing us on with your
                    dizzying songs and enchanting dance
       at a glance eyes are hypnotized
          mesmerized by the chance
You’re an infectious seductress
       inflicting addiction upon your
anxious victims within an instant
    with one look we’re hooked
       shook, shocked at the thought
     of winning this knockout
   this stunning knockout
     with a gentle punch

    This poem is not well-put together. It plays with two different persons: one spoken of, and one who speaks of, and one is lost to see which is the real poem.
    Two or three lines have some merit, but they do not save the poem in my reading of it.
