You Are to Me a Very Special Sun

Alpha List Friendship Poems Sonnets About This Site Poems for Free Copyright by Nicholas Gordon

You are to me a very special sun That shines upon a world few ever see, A world I'm shy to show to everyone, That hides its urgent truth from even me. Without your light it is a world of darkness; Its heaven and its hell lie fast asleep. With you as sole and sympathetic witness, The words come forth from out my vasty deep. And so I cannot be myself without you; No one is whole without some loving friend. There is a quiet joy in me about you That lets me say what I need not defend. Long may we serve each other to give light To all the loveliness that haunts our night. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
