Mind Blowing Poet

I've seen.  I've read and I am still flabbergasted!  There is no way to keep up with this man.  He's a true natural.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Sweet Surrender

If you find you're loving me
like I've loved you from the start.
And you no longer fear our love
you'll let me touch your heart.

Someday while we're out walking
and everything is like you planned.
Then maybe while we're walking
you'll let me hold your hand.

And then someday you find a way
to show me that you care.
You'll turn and look into my eyes
as my fingers touch your hair.

And when you give yourself to me
with my hands on your hips.
You'll close your eyes in sweet surrender
and let me taste your sweet lips.

And when tomorrow finds us
in this love we're living in.
We'll awaken with the sunrise
and we'll fall in love again.

Edwin C Hofert
