Our Eyes Met


You left a mark on my heart
We've never met
But our eyes did
I hope to see you again 

I got my groove back
My self-confidence
I'm a little rusty randy & lusty
Dirty old gay man

I see you on a treadmill
In the distance facing to my left
My treadmill points in your direction
Your profile captivates me
Your black beard & straight hair

30 years my younger
I feel my body hunger
I watch you
Where did pep in my step come from?
You spend time with the controls
Then start running

I keep on walking to nowhere 
When you look around on occasion
I maintain for a second
Until your glance points at me
Then I look around
As if caught in mischief
Trying to make it look obvious
I look down then back up at you
It's a dance in my mind only

You finish then walk toward me
Pass to my right
I check you out
My head follows your movement
You're petite
A foot shorter than me
Cuter with every sighting
You disappear

I finish the treadmill
On to weight lifting
Just as I start
You're standing in the lobby
Your shorts show your skinny hairy legs

Dumb bells in my hand
I stand there for a minute
Looking in your direction
You have to notice me

I'm rusty randy & lusty
You appear nervous
You look down at your phone
I sit on the bench
I face away
Look into the wall mirror
You seem to be waiting for someone

What can I give to a younger man?
A Bromance A friendship
Yes since my junk don't work anymore
It's dysfunctional but not dead

Guess what does work
My eyes to admire you
Ears to hear your dreams & fears
Nose to smell your sensibility
Arms to hold you in safety
Hands to touch you with assurance
Lips to kiss you on the forehead

My mind to translate my heart
Into words & action
A poet sees you as a poem
An older man as your friend & mentor
I have no sex to offer
While my hands & words
They know how to make love

A little rusty randy & lusty
I'm confident I might get lucky
I got my groove back
I'm cruising at the gym
You have left the building 

You left a mark on my heart
We've never met
But our eyes did
I hope to see you again.

Boy did I get laid Columbus Ga

You drove slowly through the old town already dark evening in the fall of 1988. You flashed your lights. I followed to a secluded spot.  I must have looked like a giant standing next to my little Datsun car so you could see me. You emerged from your muscle car. Petite dark & handsome. My type. Quite petite in command of such a big rig. We chatted. I was in the army. You were a local. Both young. I remember not being able to say things out loud. I wanted to but couldn't. Am I looking for company? A nod says yes. My eyes say I want you badly. Yes I will follow you to your apartment.  I hold your arm for a second. Inside, still neither one of us can say out loud what we want. He's waiting for me to make the first move. Now I know I'm the top. Refreshments & small talk. We can't talk sex. We would never ask out loud... Are you gay? What do you like? I knew my role. Beer relaxed my inhibitions. I advanced on you. I kissed you. Hugged & touched & groped. Prolo

We won't be a secret anymore

Our gay love is a secret Paradoxically There are no secrets between us Not supposed to be The more fiercely hidden The more outrageous are The chances we take We've taken some big ones As if we want to get caught We do. Don't we? The bigger the secret The more it seeks exposure At first it hides in the closet Then it hikes the forest Where no one can see us Then it strolls in the park Then lunch at a busy restaurant Holding hands in public Who we are is a secret But our gay love is obvious We may be on the down low I think everybody knows Our love is for the ages There are no secrets between us And one day We won't be a secret  You won't feel shame or guilt After taking all those chances Instead pride & hope will fill your heart We have no secrets between us And some day  We won't be a secret anymore. Theme Song for this Poem "Ready to Take a Chance again" Barry Manilow Foul Play 1978

With All My Might

Invisible bird sings a melody Breeze in the trees whistle harmony For romance under moonlight I'm dancing with all my might Irresistible you are like gravity I try to run but I fall down Under starlight you mean everything I'm holding you from deep inside My mind is working overtime To impress & seduce For sure I'll say the right thing This go-round will be tight Invisible memory Dissonant history Dancing & buzzing like bees 2 hearts party for free What happened to gravity? What attracted you to me? Incredible & unreturnable You mean everything Romance in broad daylight Moonlight or starlight I'm loving you with all my might Like a melody without gravity I love with all my heart & all my might This go-round will be tight  Romance With All My Might I'm loving you tonight  (2/21/2024. Gay Love & Romance) Theme Song for this Poem Gravity by John Mayer studio recording  Live with Keith Urban
