Love Lives in the Heart


Love speaks like poetry
Not precise Nor exact
But always based on a single fact
Love is confused & confusing
Flamboyant & dazzling 
Delightfully distorted echoes 
Of emotions all mixed up like us
In a fishbowl We see ourselves
In the future like a crystal ball

You reach out & touch me
Search my eyes for a sign
Your arms wide open 
I melt like candle wax
As you caress my back
Your breath takes mine away
The poem pauses for a kiss

I listen more intently
Search the words for meaning
Fruitless endeavor though I try
Seems like forever 
The message hides

The meaning of a poem
Is not in the poem
It's in the heart
Where love finds a home
To speak with eloquence
To move the audience
With passion & hyperbole 
In a universal language

Love Lives in the Heart
This poem is a letter
From mine to yours
It has only one message
I Love You.

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
