My Secret

You've been my favorite secret
for endless days in time
the reason for my joyfulness
the reason for my rhyme

You're my surreptitious guardian
my undercover cop
my esoteric father
your love will never stop

You're my masculine protector
the husband of my dreams
the brother that I never had
and so it really seems

You're a friend for when there's trouble
and an anchor for the storm
a hand to hold when I am lost
an embrace to keep me warm

At night when I am frightened
you hold me in your arms
I know you will protect me
and keep me safe from harm

our private conversations
go late into the night
and sometimes last till morning
with the break of dawning light

When I have no one to turn to
and my friends have gone away
you're always there to guide me
in your very special way

I read your words of wisdom
the things you write so well
you're phrases are sheer poetry
you cast a secret spell

Your clandestine admonition
I treasure deep inside
your arcanum suggestions
I longingly abide

With love so deep you treat me
you  give me good advice
in covert you replete me
and fill my longing eyes

I love our secret friendship
as you comfort all my fears
you lift my chin and kiss my eyes
and chase away my tears

Only you understand me
the workings of my mind
you even see into my heart
and  kindly take the time

You are my favorite secret
a confidential friend
our intimate association
has helped my heart to mend

I cherish every  moment
that I spend with you
when heaven's spirit touches me
in our secluded rendezvous

I worship and adore you
I've tried to let it show
I pray that you can feel my love
and that you'll always know
