Gay Love & Romance

My boyfriend & I have started to dream together about a romantic holiday in the western United States. So I sought out this documentary. I watched Jack & Colton grow up on the Saturday show Rock the Park. No reason to think they are a gay couple. But certainly they have a Bromance -- everything a romantic couple has except the romance. No sex or desire for sex. Friendship love. Brotherly love. First post on this gay love blog was a Bromance couple,  Tom & Greg - How Not to Travel . My boyfriend has mentioned the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone & Glacier national parks. I picked the Petrified Forest. This trip may never happen. The odds are against it. Readers of this blog are about to see how lovers dream together. Already at least 3 poems talk about it. "Feelings Check" has a map of the Petrified Forest.  Today my boyfriend was wearing the same pants as Jack in the video. What are the chances? I told him this morning those are sexy pants, before I ever searched for

We pull over at a rest area Somewhere in the West  To check the oil To stretch our legs You walk your dog I walk my cat You're way over there I'm over here But we're together In a faraway place Back in the truck We hold hands for a second We exchange smiles to make sure Everything is okay with the other It's a Feelings Check Are your feelings hurt? Or just grumpy from a long journey Kiss goodbye this place Back on the Road to Romance I check on your feelings On the Highway of Love It's a routine Feelings Check.

We Don't Pretend to be Strangers Because we're not We're secret lovers We don't care who knows it When we go out & about We Don't Pretend to be Just Friends Because we're more than that Nothing can keep us apart You are so super hot In every one of my thoughts  We Don't Pretend to be Strangers On the trail or in my truck We have to be discreet We try but we can't Keep our hands off each other Smiling & beaming with laughter Another spring day feels like summer Wherever we are We're happy We don't care who knows it We Don't Pretend to be Strangers.

Alex wants a baby. Steven does not. Also Steven wants to stay in the closet. Steven wants to keep his job as gameshow host. He gives all that up to make Alex happy. Was it worth it? Yes. I watched the 90-minute film twice. First time I focused on the impossible adoption & drama of the biological mother. As Steven says, "Are you out of your f--ing mind Alex?" Second time I focused on the romance from Alex's perspective. In the final scene Alex is at the beach with his partner & their son. Alex has tears of joy from being a dad in a real family. Steven feels the joy of Alex. Steven knows his partner was right. Their love together with a child is greater than it could ever be with just two people loving each other. Tonight after the kid goes to bed, Alex & Steven will make love more deeply & intimately than before in their relationship. What would you sacrifice for your partner? What have you done that you didn't want to do? Did the love grow as a result?

Let Your Wedding Ring Out Wear it always Loud & Proud In a sea of temptation It will protect you & others Look at it when you need to In a heated flirtation  If words go unheeded  Point to your married hand Like a super power Let Your Wedding Ring Out Loud When lust chokes you up A hottie chats you up Smile & handshake linger Eye contact delivers To your body quivers & shivers  Overcome in the moment Let Your Wedding Ring Out Loud Like a super power  You're married & took a vow Love waits for you at home Trust in the wedding band When lust has your tongue In the moment you're overcome  Let Your Wedding Ring Out Loud Like a super power  You made a promise to love only The one waiting for you at home So out here in a sea of temptation A heated flirtation  Save the moment for your spouse  Like a super power  Let Your Wedding Ring Out Loud.

I'm not too drunk To fall in love with a stranger  I might meet tonight  Thrills of danger  Why don't you come back to me? Let's get back on track I'm not too drunk To hide my whispers of regret How your fingertips caressed  I let down my guard I broke my own heart I'm tough enough to bounce back When someone stops loving me I'm strong enough to stand tall Empty hands without plans I'm weak enough to fall back Into your arms I'm drunk enough to fall in love With you again I'm soft enough to see You're the only one for me Today & tomorrow It won't last forever  Nothing does I'm fool enough To take another chance On the one I already love And anyone else who walks Through those swinging doors And smiles at me I'm too drunk to say No I hope you're on your way back To my heart & my arms I'm too drunk to think A stranger would fall for my charms And take a chance on me  But he might Like you made me fall for you  One night

You're standing there Looking for something In the cab of your truck Between a highway & a fitness club I advance With my hand on the door When you turn around I'm in your face You can't escape Can't stand up straight In a secluded spot You would kiss me But here We have to be discreet  Standing too close is one of my moves I back up A big smile is shared by both of us My Body Flirts with Yours  Used to be if I was late You would start working out without me I hop on the treadmill next to you You slap my back or punch my arm Your body flirts with mine I tell you how much it means to me To be seen in public with you Since our love is secret We have to be discreet But we don't pretend to be strangers  Without saying anything You start waiting for me to arrive We greet each other with naughty grins We walk in together I hold the door I wait as you find your member card When your workout is done You talk to me  I end my workout right away The one lingers in the lock

Gay adoption is not one of my issues. But gay couples is the topic of this blog. How they meet & stay together in the face of challenges. Imagine you are a closeted celebrity & your silent live-in partner wants a baby. Well. You would help him get one. Against your better judgment. Against your own desires. Knowing the gay rumors will intensify. That's the power of love. When the baby is a toddler, the biological mother takes back the child. Your partner blames you. You're both lousy company at parties. You tell your partner to get out. You hook up with a stranger who kicks you out of his apartment because you're a lousy lay. You return home. Your partner is still mad at you. He sees how devastated you are emotionally. He consoles you. He holds you. He forgives you without a word spoken. You remember why you're still with this guy. Why you love him. Eventually the child returns home to you & your partner. You decide to come out of the closet since the public

Sometimes I can be overbearing Running wild & rough-shod Placing demands on your desire Holding your hand if you lift it to me For No Reason Other than you want to give it to me  I don't pressure you What you're not ready for As long as our lips long for Fire burning red hot Placing demands on the heart Can be overwhelming  Too intense Too much incense Like 2 bears in a scrum Broadside with each other  Free to leave but we stay For No Reason other than desire  For No Reason other than the heart  Overbearing & overwhelming Yet we stay together For No Reason other than love.

His face lit up with a smile His eyes suddenly sparkled When I said Yes I will go with you out west To make love in every national park His face lit up & sparkled He didn't think I was listening When he told me his dream for us He thinks about a lot Somehow he missed the poem "I promise to be pleasant company" All the time I made the promise face to face Sincerely & seriously  He lit up with sparkles Knowing there would be struggles And someone to share them with We sealed the deal with a kiss A big sloppy passionate prolonged kiss Hugs of commitment Lit up our bodies Yes I will share your dream Sparkles in your heart Me in your arms Together in a faraway place Camping out west Under the Milky Way In a love bubble Yes I will Dream with You.

I could hear your tears Over the phone 500 miles away I could see only sadness When I said I don't love you anymore Our future is in the past I still hear your tears After all these years  That was the final goodbye The last breakup has lasted You know I tried for a long time Distance made us grow distant Pride made us both stubborn Breaking your heart broke my heart I cried too when we hung up For two years I gave you my life We lived together in a love bubble  In your apartment & then mine  Can you hear me now Choking on tears of regret? I haven't gotten over you I lied when I said I don't love you anymore How many of these poems Have I written to you On the down low? How many tears can you hear In my literary voice? Tears of regret I can't forget you I don't want to Thanks for the love you send me Now 500 light years away  I can hear you choke on tears When I said I don't love you anymore Can you hear my tears of regret? For lying to you It broke my heart

What is the power of this gay love blog? It's a juggernaut of positive spin Crushing the bad moods of bitter winds The frustration of anger Cussing under my breath Then out loud when I'm alone It takes a lot to make me mad Then I can't snap out of it Trapped in Hell Until I read this love blog Silly whimsy & joyful hope Edgy from daily struggle In this case Family drama To alleviate the stress Read a poem Take a deep breath Feel better instantly Read & write content as needed Like a juggernaut crushes Bad mood swings with positive spin.

Love Regret & Toxic  In my heart 3 songs  Love is the strongest & loudest You make me the proudest My boyfriend is my dance partner I found after bar hopping Surfing the internet Hanging out in public places Cruising & staring I found your playlist of love songs They fire up my feet Soothe my soul They lift my pen to paper The music is filled with hope That it never stops Forever in our hearts Never say forever The music slows to a ballad Memories happy & sad What could have been Incredible what we had We lost it all I broke up with my old boyfriend In the past  The song of regret echoes in my heart What I should have done And what I did wrong The ballad of regret began playing When I told him on the phone I don't love you anymore I could hear him choke on tears Nothing left to say Except I was lying I didn't want to drag him down The way he drained me of joy By the final chorus The slow song I can't forget It's filled with regret It once played fast upt

You've been drinking beer And smoking cigarettes Every time you come around here Your eyes say you wanna have sex Well so do I I don't like drinking I don't like smoking But I like sex And I like you So I Make an Exception For a night of love-making Lifetime when I remember I forget the drinking & smoking We didn't have sex We made love As I recall Then again the next day While you were sober Over & over At the end of it all You smoked a cigarette You drank a beer That's okay I kiss you anyway I Make an Exception We make love again later.

How did I fall so Deep in Love? I let myself Forbidden fling in secret Fell into it like a closet At first I tried to climb out Then I gave up Then I tried again Now like quicksand I'm in deeper than I've ever been It might be the hormone blockers And sad gay soap operas Maybe so But I've always been a romantic For us Great things I wish Outside my comfort zone I make sacrifice Hurt & heartache We both cheated & regret I fell deep in your heart of love A hole I'm not trying To climb out of I tripped over your desire So hard I fell for you Because I let myself I fell Deep in Love with you.

The spring of everything The sun gets hotter Future gets brighter I come home to you I think of you all day Temptation in the air Tornado season I drive home to you  The spring in my step When a cute guy smiles Engages me in small talk  I'm headed home to you I stopped here for a rest Of course you're jealous It's where you & I met A parking lot of strangers I know you worry I might meet somebody You might lose me again Nowadays I'm thinking of you only  Look into my eyes Feel the weight of my heart Full of regret to this day When I cheated in the past Let me reassure you Each minute I'm away I don't want to repeat history I'm coming home for you Sometimes I must flirt in daily life Pleasantries I give away But I fool around with only one man I come home to you The challenge of every day Temptation & lust I prove my love Ring on display  Good faith & trust I bring home to you  Honesty & intensity When I come home Passion & sincerity I pro

What is Regret? You wish you had done something But you didn't Now your mind spends so much time Wondering what might have been  Regret is the kiss you wanted to give  But didn't The closet you wanted to leave But stayed in The hand you desired to hold But left hanging The love you needed to make But never did What might have happened? That's called regret The chances you take & lose You soon forget The chance you don't take You remember forever That's called Regret.

You die in a car accident. Your father searches for your boyfriend to tell him. Only to find a note on your headstone from your boyfriend. Your father writes a note to you & leaves it for your boyfriend to find when he visits your grave.

You don't regret The chances you take & lose You regret The chance you don't take.

Tommy's audition to replace Johnny Colgate goes well in Tommy's mind. Not so much in the real world. 9 Minutes. The song & dance has eagle imagery.  On Wings of an Eagle  is trending as the most popular post on this love blog.

I seem so articulate In my poetry & prose But when you come around I stumble on my words Walk in circles drunk on lust Inarticulate I stutter When you come around.

Call out my real name for a change On our last hookup We instinctively knew There was too much role play Too much name-calling Call me Andrew because Andrew Tate in Romania Was arrested for being a bad influence On the youth of the world And he's very sexy Call me Andrew because Andrew Henry of Religion For Breakfast Is so cute with his professorial beard Scholar speaks of ancient philosophy Seductive walks among the ruins So soft & gentle in his Q & A I want my boyfriend to feel about me As I feel about these two hotties He already does But he doesn't know who they are Now he knows  He doesn't see my attraction My boyfriend also has an alter ego A preferred nick-name for role play Aphrodite in the eye of the beholder He wants to be called Linda Which in Romance languages Linda means pretty or beautiful There you see the dynamic In our relationship Here's what happened Name-calling for 5 minutes Made us uncomfortable After the poem "Until Sunrise" For

He told me his dream for us He thinks about a lot He says He wants to travel out west In a camper in our retirement In a love bubble If circumstances allow I promise to be pleasant company All the time No matter how grumpy From the long drive How tired from a long day How weak from hardship or health I promise to be helpful & hopeful Always pleasant company Yes I will travel with you To the edge of the Grand Canyon Stand there / Take a selfie of us Share the view with the world Hold hands / Hike the trail Hug & kiss / Fool around Back on the road To the next romantic overlook All the time I Promise to be Pleasant Company.

For tonight Will you pretend To love me for old times sake Let me love you again While you pretend Like we used to role-play Who are you today I didn't realize You wanted me to be somebody else You were pretending to love me It's good to see you again You & I alone in this lonely bar Our journeys have taken us Wide & far But for tonight For old times sake Can you pretend To love me again As I love you still Until Sunrise.

I'm Too Inspired You don't hear that very often That's what love will do to you If you give your heart to it  You feel you can't do enough Because you're too in love Still you flirt with another guy You meet in daily life You feel his magnitude You keep thinking about him You tell your boyfriend the good news You have a few naughty thoughts Dirty old gay man He says he's not jealous Why not? Don't you love me? Yes with all my heart But I don't fear the competition When the one I love I inspire too much That's when I know for sure It's true love Oh my lover You know me so well Rest confident & sleep soundly No one can take your place in my heart All cluttered up With too much inspiration No cause for jealousy I can love only you I need to be Too Inspired I don't know the hour on the clock But I know for sure It's time to make love to you  I can never be Too Inspired.

Was it a real flirtation? Or did I imagine everything? Older customer with a black cowboy hat & Young cashier with black ear spacers.  We kept talking as customers lined up behind me. One customer walked in the door & cashier said, Welcome to the thrift store. I chimed in, We love you. So I was feeling flirty in the moment. I rarely buy books. Almost never fiction. I wanted something new to challenge me. I feel challenged in the first few chapters. But last August I wrote 13 chapters of a gay sci-fi porno on another blog.  I find nonfiction easier to write after 40 years experience. This entire love blog is a challenge. What's the chance this cashier has read the prequel to the book I was buying? Today it was 100%. He was glancing inside the book. He kept asking how often I shop at the store? I said about once a month. Now I'm thinking--two days in a row. A flirtation is like a booty call. It has an expiration. It's today, maybe tomorrow; not Let's hookup next w

Someone recently said to me, I should take a poetry writing class. I responded, you mean TEACH a class. A good poem has a few things. (1) What you can see & what you can't see. Sharp edges & soft bubbles. Grounded & lofty. So "a kiss is love" is okay. "Tears of Joy" is okay. But "happiness is love" is 2 bubbles floating in a lava lamp. Boring.  Most of the romance lyric videos on YouTube are platitudes disconnected from a real thing or person. You & I is a platitude. So those videos (you can see) don't fulfill the heart (you can't see). (2) A poem is a collection of echoes (repetitions & distortions) you set in motion. Start with your best sound. Let it echo as the final sound. When the poet lifts his pen to end the poem, the message echoes in the mind of the listener, in distorted memory. (3) When you hear the first sound echo as the final sound, you feel differently. The meaning has changed. Sometimes you remember only the

Tears of Joy When I look into your eyes Reflected is everything projected Difficult to discern Where I stop & You begin Redirected through my blurry eyes Brighter than any sunrise The fear of betrayal The hope of promise Faith enough to forgive Trust enough to relax in your arms They have returned Tears of Joy.

Secret phone number in my pocket If something happens to me Take all the money in my wallet Just call this number Tell the guy at the end of the line What's wrong So he can find me & rescue me Visit me in the hospital Heaven forbid Attend my funeral At least he will have closure He won't think I'm ghosting him I will rest peacefully in his heart This love blog will go silent  Please take all my worldly possessions For a simple mercy in emergency  Tell the one who loves me Secret number in my wallet  If Something is Wrong.

What a beautiful & powerful movie!  I will always remember these 2 hours I spent trying to understand the Portuguese subtitles based on my knowledge of French & Spanish. It was worth it. The music video tells a different story. When my boyfriend asks what's being said under the music, now I can tell him. We use the gay music video below to put us in the mood for making love. It's the theme video for my blog Gay Love & Romance on Blogger. Ramon forgets his diary on the patio when he sees Lucas. Ramon is nervous because Lucas was belligerent earlier towards Ramon & Ramon's boyfriend. Lucas reads the diary overnight. What brings Lucas & Ramon together after returning the diary? They're both fans of Harry Potter. This common interest creates a love bubble around these two. They can't stop kissing & touching. It's more like a force field. Though not interested in Harry Potter, Ramon's old boyfriend is ready to fight for Ramon. Ramon speaks

Let's Get Back Together Again I will always need a man Not someone like You But someone who is You Let's get back together again Broken hearts can mend Frozen in time since the breakup Touch me with a rhyme To begin the make up Passion gets out of hand More heartache than we planned You ran away before Yet here You are at my door You say You need a man Not just any man But someone who is me Let's get back together again Like we just met Strangers come back to life My heart was empty Ever since You left How many times we learn the lesson We will always need each other Not someone like You But someone who is You In love are two men Let's get back together again.

I will always need a man Not someone like You But someone who is You Let's get back together again Broken hearts can mend Frozen in time since the breakup Touch me with a rhyme To begin the make up Passion gets out of hand More heartache than we planned You ran away before Yet here You are at my door You say You need a man Not just any man But someone who is me Let's get back together again Like we just met Strangers come back to life My heart was empty Ever since You left How many times we learn the lesson We will always need each other Not someone like You But someone who is You In love are two men Let's get back together again.

Wait. Your date dumped you immediately after 5 hours? He probably had blue balls. You've had sex with other guys on the first date but this guy wasn't cute enough. He felt rejected. Even so he sent a nice thank you text. Sorry Jack. Don't blame others if this video reduces your date chances. Cute twink is enough for a click, but think twice. (Comment to video.) Additional Content for Blog Readers What are you supposed to talk about on the first date? Sex is the short answer. But it's more complicated.  You talk about how the highs & lows of past relationships have created fears & hopes in your future. How you were a top in your longest relationships. You also like to bottom but those romances don't last, for example. How my body is versatile but my personality is a top. So if my partner is a top, I will throw my butt in his face when I need some loving. Understanding that sex is how we express love. I will tell you that I want you to make love to me. Just as

Seems like forever 20 years You've been standing by my side We've been seen together By thousands of people We went to a wedding as a couple They took pictures of us as a couple Our love outlasted that marriage  We were together At a crowded benefit concert We attended a gay rights rally together My arch-enemy city councilor Noticed us in the crowd She was super nice to my boyfriend My political heart softened She gave us rainbow wrist bands   We've been on romantic holidays Sand in our toes Chlorine in our nose Dancing in gay bars Crossdressing in public Two men crazy in love Quite visible to the eyes And cameras of others We used to swim Saturday mornings In the civic pool together We've had lunch In the town's busiest restaurant We held hands across the table Every week we see each other At the fitness club You like to think our love is a secret But it's not really My silent partner is plain to see Almost everywhere Almost always To me You're almost every

His name was David Walmart cashier We met at a gay bar in my hometown An hour from his house We never hooked up But I wanted to We never had small talk His face lit up when he saw me When I posed personal questions I lit up at his answers And brown eyes & shy smiles Then he would ask me something Embarrassed I responded honestly We only saw each other a few years A half dozen times a year We spoke to each other at the bar I tried to seduce him With my construction body With verbal skills focused on romance I regret not writing him a poem He could take home to cherish  No doubt he felt it too But something was holding him back He couldn't say what it was I switched into friend mode I watched other guys break his heart Maybe I wasn't attractive enough Maybe he didn't feel worthy of my love  Too afraid of the past repeating  Why he wouldn't give me a chance  On this topic small talk prevailed I watched him decline Medication for depression I could clearly see bipolar I

Sex is how we express love In a sexual relationship Since Day One We've had two ground rules You can say anything And you can say nothing You can start stop start talking at will You can say I Love You Or you can show love Simply by showing up Making Love is the best way To say I Love You When You arrive at my apartment I open the door to my heart Come inside my sanctuary No closets No secrets No clothes No shame In my loving arms For a while we self-imposed a rule We forbid ourselves to say I Love You But there was a loophole We could say I love everything about You Then one day You asked How does this outfit look on me? I said I Love You It! I love it. We played around with that for a time Now we freely say it Whenever we feel like it Last phone conversation ended I said I Love You You said I Love You SO MUCH Words make us feel warm & fuzzy  But action is the substance of passion Making Love says I Love You the best  We keep on showing up Making Love says I Love You.

If I'm there without You Paradise is a myth Happiness is a mirage Romance is a prank If I'm there without You Alone in the Garden of Eden Without You is like Hell on ice My heart breaks & bursts on fire Fancy rainbow flames Spell out my desire To be anywhere with You Where happy is tangible Where faith is unshakable Your touch is unmistakable  Paradise Is Anywhere With You If I'm there & You're there Happy as can be unabashedly Content as we were meant to be Walking on clouds we can't see Longing for reunion & revival Love is the bridge of survival Our hearts connect & accept That paradise is a myth If I'm there without You But with You I'm so happy In hardship & harmful voyage In wilderness or crowded places Joyful that You're with me Paradise Is Anywhere With You.

For 24 Hours I'll be smiling Until I see You again finally  I start laughing spontaneously Not at You But from delight of thinking about You If I can last another day If my face doesn't freeze From too much smiling If I'm not too weak in the knees From too much longing When I see You I won't be laughing at You It's laughter of delight Smiles of joy Thoughts of the future Still 24 Hours of clock-watching The final stretch  A day to get ready  Followed by Passion & Love & Romance  Adventure Risk & Chance A Moment to Remember Soon.

We gotta be discreet But we don't wanna be Hiding our happiness Holding hands in shame We don't want people to know Our business But oh yes we do! Duck into a restroom to sneak a kiss What kind of life is this? Step into a park To say something simple like I love you We gotta be discreet But we don't want to Stray into the bushes Get ticks & chiggers To embrace for a minute It's worth the sacrifice Don't get me wrong When your eyes look into mine I realize You live in the closet I accept it Babe You're worth it I agree to be discreet But I don't wanna be I don't like it Hiding our love Living in shadow Hoping to marry you some day When we won't have to be discreet The entire world will know If they care to Simply together we're happy No more bushes to hide behind We will walk publicly with pride Two men in love who don't know why But we do know We don't wanna be discreet Some day we won't be.

Don't hate me because I'm happy Message to the world I fell under your spell sappy Mushy & Pushy is my heart  Thumping & Pounding hard When You & I are together Pushy to the pillow Mushy to the max I turn my face to catch my breath To catch your eye glimpse my chest You anticipate delight I intend to give it to you right In-between big belly laughs Kisses & Hugs / Misses & Hits Memories to share with you I don't hold back any For me you leave behind A bushel of smiles & giggles To snack on / Way too many For when I write another poem Until you return Message to the world Please don't hate me Because I'm happy.

Where are you tonight Are you dreaming of me Like the one I just had You were in my arms Sleeping like a lady I stared at you Snuggled closer to Sleeping Beauty A kiss on the lips Your eyes open You smile as I keep kissing In my dream in my bed We roll I look up into your face You leave tomorrow For the Greater Good I'll wait for you at home Dreaming of your arms We roll I look down into your soft eyes I will miss you I kiss you for every day away I kiss every part of you For good luck We make love in my dream I wake up in an Empty Bed I roll.

I'm retired from politics Unless it's a political love story I don't want to hear it But mad politicians madly in love I will entertain it Opposing parties brought together To compromise Who fall in love by circumstance On faith they take a chance I will listen to that story A politician has the same hands as I do The same fingertips The touch of tingle That reminds me  Why we can't just shake hands And say Goodbye  Can I identify with the story Who is this man touching me Kissing me on the lips Undressing me in the shadow  What is your profession What is your position  I give no thought When I look into your eyes Looking back into mine You lean against my arms As we sway back & forth You say something political You want me to make love to you Compromises Sweet Surprises I turn on the spigot Until you pivot on the issues Madly in love Two Politicians I would watch that movie Come out of retirement  Enjoy with glee & sadness How they fall madly in love The compro

Stay & Linger another minute 5 or 10 maybe I won't see you again for a while Make it 30 Hit the snooze on real life I'm so thirsty for love Hungry for honesty Truthful dirty talk from the heart I Stay & Linger & Listen Quench my dusty thirst for lust Rest those eyes that wander Searching elsewhere for what's here Stay & Linger beside my lover The one who stood beside me  Satisfy my hunger Touch & Kiss / Love & Miss I won't see you again for a while I Stay & Linger another minute To quench my thirst for love.

Lucas & Ramon Love to Kiss. This video is what this blog tries to be about. Argue in each other's arms. Read his thoughts in writing. Happy all the time. Proudly in love. Mature lyrics. 3 minutes. The video sets the mood for love-making. My boyfriend & I watched it before a romantic hike. Afterwards I wrote this poem. Flirt Bomb in the Forest

I am platitudes You are platypus My love is like soft bubbles You're the edge of my troubles The root that keeps me grounded When I want to fly away to fantasy  Platypus holds the rope of reality He lives in two worlds Gay & Straight Three really A pretty lady in my arms at night  They are attitudes Simple shapes & pure light  They stretch with latitude My arms around you Edgy platypus Pop a few platitudes To set me straight I bounce back like a naive ball In a gay dance hall We promenade among the crowd Holding hands As man & woman but not really  After a few drinks & swigs We're the proud & perfect couple  Everybody I mean everybody Can tell I am the pithy platitude Who won't shut up You are the shape shifting platypus Who attracts attention  The gay & a straight with a curve In love without reserve With each other only A match made in Heaven Soft bubbles & edgy troubles In our world there is no lonely  Platitude & Platypus Love & Trust

If I could send a message Back in time What would I tell myself The day we met? Study more / Read more Run more / Have more fun Love more Nice platitudes Dude Great ass & boobs But can you be more specific? How to keep him coming back To be seduced & risk it Study what he wears How he presents himself Who does he think he is? Treat him like that person Study how he looks at you When you walk into his vision How a smile appears from thin air Notice the sweet nothings He gives to you Like time & touch for free Say Thank you Study his eyes How he stares at you You see him He looks away Then looks back Hoping to catch you checking him out His eyes want to be caught also Checking you out  Read him like a romantic character Presume his better angel When he talks about stuff Hear the speech So you can speak his words back to him So he will know you're listening  You're reading his mind Let his words flow from your mouth  With understanding & positive spin Run your own

Going down Like coffee grounds Hot & Rough Like your Love Going down We go out on the town We get down I think I've had too much But I say Not enough We fool around Like coffee going down Full of coffee grounds Hot & Rough A little too much But not enough Bittersweet on the street Holding hands in secret Like coffee grounds Going down We fool around A little too much Yet not enough Going down.

This video resonated with me. I shared a gay love blog with my boyfriend for about 6 months. The purpose of the blog was to save our broken relationship. It worked. His pic was in almost every post of us together. Then he didn't want to do it anymore. That blog has run its course & no longer updated. I started a new blog Gay Love & Romance. My boyfriend remains my silent partner. Now he's my invisible partner also. As long as I refer to him in the abstract, as boyfriend or lover, I'm free to talk about him in a poetic setting.  Our relationship is deeper than ever before. He was vulnerable. His feelings changed. He felt free to tell me. He wants me to keep writing. He stood by me when I started the first blog. Now I stand by him in his decision to back off social media. Our relationship is better than it's ever been. It's hard to put into words. Good luck to you two. Of course I will share this video to my love blog. When my boyfriend reads it, we will be cl

Love makes you confident & cocky Others call you delusional Because you see & feel What to them is invisible You feel joy & delight You smile & giggle All alone in your cubicle To them You're happy for no reason You must be delusional Confusing reality & whimsy Your day is taken over by day dreams You can't focus on task at hand You must be delusional  No Love is not an illusion You can't see it But it's true I assure you With all my confidence Love is real I'm not delusional.

Of the many things Love gives to the Heart Among them is Peace Confidence & Happiness Calm energy to achieve greatness Happy soul eager to sacrifice Warm hands to hold When it's freezing degrees below No matter how cold Peace gives me rest I wake up refreshed Ready to face another day Calm & Confident Love is in the Heart My Lover is in my arms Romance in the pants Of the many things you give me Among them is Peace.

Tiger Tiger You live on my shoulder I pet you with my index finger You guard my heart When Eagle is aloft in flight When Dragon is aloof in fancy Tiger stands guard Ready to pounce If someone breaks my heart Tiger on my Shoulder Reaches out a paw To test the water For possibility of friendship Maybe romance A companion who won't abandon Or neglect me When someone damages my heart Tiger Tiger is there Watching over me And all those who interact Which nowadays Is mostly only you My Lover Old friend of mine Tiger perches high on my shoulder Ready to pounce Tiger never sleeps Never tires of seeing Our love grow deep Eagle Dragon Tiger Peace The tattoos on my body The symbols of my life Philosophy of Me The forces behind my ego Self-indulgent delusion of love Maybe Yet Peace of Mind  For all three of my personalities When Eagle flies When Dragon flirts When Tiger fortifies Peaceful are you in my heart Perfect in my eyes Eagle Dragon Tiger Peace.

I want to be treated Like a stranger They always treat me better Than friends & family Strangers are the nicest people My lover was a stranger When we met He still treats me the same We don't forget  How family treated us For a lifetime Though we may know each other Better than any two people ever Treat me like a stranger Our love will persevere Through any danger Through all the years  Treat me better than a friend Or any family member Far away from home Two strangers fell in love Treat me like we just met Thus forever We will stay together.

My home is an enclave A private universe of gayness In my apartment No one is here To make me feel guilty For being happy For loving another man No negativity inside these walls My house is a beautiful place For the unseen features You give love & leave love In my apartment There's no heartache Only hot memories of you & me Making love without judgment In a simple home full of dreams Until your next day off From the real world For a few hours Your journey takes you away But always brings you back To love & happiness In my open arms It's okay to love another man For a few hours To a parallel universe We escape from judgment Or fear of mistreatment Recharge your body & spirit Laugh while listening to music In my tiny home of gay love For a few hours.

I got moxie  I breathe fire into your body It's why you love me Look at the dragon When you speak to me Bold is how I roll Openly your hand I hold Who cares who knows I got moxie I breathe fire into your soul I've got some nerve To fall in love Your heart is my shield I see the dragon Breathe fire and desire When I speak to you  I got moxie Fresh dragon breath It's what we both want Desire in the heart Fire in the soul Moxie in the body I got you And I got moxie.

What is love but a 4- letter word That lifts you up Then drops you off a cliff Only to be caught On the wings of an eagle That soars higher than the sky Above the clouds Thin air takes your breath You see forever Feel strong and clever On the wings of an eagle You wake up in my arms Love is not a word at all But the face in front of you Kiss is not a 4-letter word It's how you know  My arms are the wings That lift you up And never let you down In our dreams We soar On the wings of an eagle Take my hand and a kiss In my arms  We fly to a better world.
