Standing in the wings, on the periphery
of your cultivated world, inhibited only by
station and space, my head spins
into your orbit, my eye lids twItch nervously,
my titillated ears vibrate, my hands tremble,
inner being disassembles, kneeling in deep
contrition, my flattering pose, covered by
plebian skin , without merit or standing,
not in your cognizant purview, goes unnoticed.
Straining to capture a meaningful momento
of her regal essence, if but a quick glance,
token gesture, two or three words spoken
in jest, but, alas, no comely features with
which to attract even a passing stare
Shriveling in her presence, my net value
laid bare, on my crown, a matted toupee,
a disheveled mound of bristled fibers,
no sterling jewelry to sparkle in her
turquoise eyes, on my wrist, a cheap
sports watch with a plastic band, my
colloquial speech contains no majestic
refrain, her delicate drums to tap, no
rhythmic cadence, her cochlear bands
to serenade, enwrapping my taut
form, the trappings of a commoner,
no velvet suit or silk cuffs, her refined
fingers to address, no cashmere
slacks, only a stiff pair of unpleated
Dockers to brush up against her
glimmering, polished legs, but at
my lowly base, a pair of Dolce &
Gabanna wingtips, exuding a waxy
shine, casting an enthralling glare,
a magical spell with which to cloud
her discerning eyes, and to disuade
her genteel mind. With one lengthy
stride, I introduce my intentions, her
condescending eyes now peel away
my pretentious threads, and, with an
outstretched hand, beckons me to
her side, presses me against her
throbbing bosom. The lurid dance
begins, ending only after the darkness
filters the gloss of my wingtips from
her dilated eyes.

A couple of oddities detract a little (can eye lids [eyelids] ever 'twitter'?) and is the misspelling of "Dolce and Cabanna (Gabbana) intentional? Overall I think this is a very good poem indeed.
Well done.
