Subtle Hints of Romance


My heart is floating on a cloud
My soul is singing out loud
Tender thoughts of you & me
Subtle hints of romance

Like sitting too close
Like bumping elbows
A laugh in your face
You laugh right back
Your hand on my shoulder
For a second too long
I want to kiss you
But not here not yet
I settle for subtle hints of romance
Walking slowly side by side
Two stallions in perfect stride

I hang on to every word you say
We stroll down the pathway
Two men in work pants
Subtle hints of romance
We split off to a smaller trail
Subtle hint
Looking for a secluded spot
Subtle hint
To talk about sports if anyone asks
A new perspective & a few laughs

Men enjoy the company of men
Never more than you as my friend
Subtle hints of romance
Lead me to take a chance
In a secluded spot
What we talk about
I have a secret
Something I have to say
I don't want you to feel betrayed
The more I fake it
The more hurt you will be
When you finally find out
I want you to learn it from me

I'm gay 
I have a crush on my straight best friend
I've been dropping hints all day
Some were not so subtle
Now I  lean in slowly 
In case it's a mistake
I kiss you on the lips
You kiss back without recoil 

You say you too have a secret
A crush on your best friend
You've been dropping hints for weeks
He didn't seem to notice
Until today 
A kiss is not subtle
Now we both know with certainty 

We're not best friends anymore
We're boyfriends for sure.

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

Looking For Someone

Image
I'm looking for someone somewhere gay Not just anybody  I'm looking for you Someone who Will tell me the dreaded truth Even when it Hurts like an abscessed tooth  While it makes me cry Break it down slow & easy  Decorum mixed with sleazy  Slang hanging with S.A.T. words Wow! Kapow! You know how  It's what I'm looking for  Dynamited to the core Washed up on the rocky shore  Dry me off. Give me sunburn  Someone whose head will turn When I toss a lustful look I throw a playful kiss You catch it with your lips Cruising for someone somewhere gay I'm not just looking  I'm looking for you. ************* Theme Song for this Poem  Somebody Just Like You -- Teena Marie
