Platitude & Platypus

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 Forever.

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
