*** **** ***** Let Me Love U..... Poem by Shelley L Baxter

Let me Love you as the night loves the stars
that illuminate way off in a distance on dark nights.
Let me Love you with my thoughts as I wake on a cloud
from a quiet lonely sleep perfumed with times spent
with you and me together in my memory.

Let me Love you with my emotions as I reach out
to you in my heart, sending you peace and happiness
from day till night until we meet up again on a quiet
distant shore...amongst only sand and palms,
beneath a tree where the two of us can become one.


Let me Love you...you will see then we are still made
for one another like love for a letter, like two spoons
in a drawer left all alone in the dark...day in and day out.
Oh, let me Love you with my eyes as I swoop down to admire
your face, the nape of your neck and let me gaze into your pretty eyes.

Oh, please just let me Love you a little more again each day,
as I profess my Love for you in bottles that bob and float,
down crisp, clear streams that flow from the downpours of heaven
over silver lined clouds that babble and roar over the fall, plunging deep
until their standing in still waters awaiting your precious hands.

Let me love you as I already do over the chasm of time...
above the clouds in the sky that grow dim as the day advances.
Don't be afraid for I'm willing to take the plunge...I will take the chances.
I plead with God to hurl me to earth to be by your side once more, then I
pray, that you Let me Love you, just as I did many times before.
