you are ..............
the keeper of my secrets
the recent and those that have
diminished
over time
a beacon of honesty
upon a planet of oh so many who defy
even as they deny
and I believe this you know
you are a tender place where my heart
can come to
when I just feel this overwhelming need
to lay down and feel safe
you provide for me a realistic
reflection of just what is
and not some twisted idea
of what I think we can never be
you supply interaction, intellect
playful reparte'
and the blessed bonds of
sweet creativity
you inspire as you question
and love even as you argue
some disagreeable point
between us
you share and you admire
but never lower yourself to demean
in your heart I am captured and freed
and this to me
I am not sure you could
ever fully come to know
just what that means
had I not ever been given
the chance to know you
that to my unknown self
would have been a deeply
terrible tragedy
but you came and you dazzled
and drew me into yourself
and for this whether selfish or
selfless act on your part
I will be grateful
for all eternity
so thank you
for opening that door
from yourself
unto me............................
