Hello =)
Yes, of course....it's a verb, meaning to beg or beseech....
The best known example I can think of is in Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven....
"Presently my soul grew stronger. Hesitating then, no longer,
"Sir," I said, "Or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore....."
Namaste,
--Tom

example: "I implore you to seek treatment for your addiction before it kills you."
Its a strong word for "urge" (verb) or "ask."
Its kind of a pretentious word, not commonly used.
