sun and my sunshine -
I wonder, not, why heaven and the sun
attend such lofty stations midst the skies
come any closer, they might be outdone
by all that dazzled passion in your eyes
tho beaming bright in lieu of their dissent
that any earthly creature should outshine
their grand intensity - quite heaven-sent
they dim when near your radiance, divine
I yearn to know the sunlight on my face
and all the wonder beautied skies impart
still, there is not a warm that can replace
the blazing glow that you put in my heart
and tho the earth needs all the sun can do
there is no deeper need in ME ... than YOU.
