Let Me

Gregory Mitchell 1962 (Oscoda MI)

Sonnet
Let me trace your beauty with my fingertips
Taste your features, caress your lips
Snuggle your neck, hide in your hair
Let me rest my hand right where it fits.

I lose myself in your eyes
Find myself in your soul
Your mind your body complete me
Your love your trust make me whole

Share with me your laughter
Melt me with your smile
Of you there is no equal
No candle to your style

Let me have these things together
With your 5' 3" southern drawl
Let me say I Love You truly
Until time has run it's all
