Not too Drunk but Drunk enough


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 then you ghosted me
I'm drunk enough to love just anyone
But not too drunk to forget to text
Not too drunk to know
I need someone to hold

I'm Not Too Drunk to want you back
But Drunk Enough to fall in love 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
