my sun

I will confide in you as the earth does the sun

trusting every ray incessently 

absorbing your warmth into me;

I will need you to grow, my sun

just as you need me to balance you 

and my orbit to feed the stars to you and help you grow, 

my sun. 

I will look up t’wards the heavens and think

not about the raindrops striking my brow nor

celestial bodies that keep our universe whole

but at you, my sun.

A very personal rendition of a classic thought. I especially liked the line "I will confide in you as the earth does the sun." That really make the relationship of the speaker and her lover a universal bond--well done.
