Remember when I tried to get over you You broke up with me Unexpectedly out of the blue Foreshadows I was blind to I tried to move on To empty My closet of your intimate apparel But I couldn't Overcome with emotion My body wouldn't let me Remember when I tried to stop thinking of you I took up martial arts Because you broke my heart I tried to date a new guy But my body wouldn't let me I had to wait for you Patiently to un-break the breakup Remember when I tried to get over you You were trying to forget me But your body wouldn't let you Finally you un-broke my heart When you came back to me Remember when We stopped trying to move on We gave up & let love win Intensely we fell in love again Remember when We tried to turn away  But our bodies wouldn't let us So we fell back in love We will never forget Our bodies won't let us We remember when.

He made love to me Then he left me alone at home With new memories  Old emotions Fresh dreams  Wild notions  I smell his breath on mine Taste the wine on his lips The fear in his heart That this won't work out Worry I will stop loving him We plan the next hookup Knowing we could break up Anytime without notice His heart is wide open  Each moment is a blast Because it might be our last He made love to me again  Like it was the end of the world  I taste his lips on mine  Each moment in my heart.

He ain't just a mate He's more than a friend He's not a dead end On him I depend for love He's more like a traffic circle My heart thinks he's perfect The only one who can relate To my soul when we're together  Honest like the sauna Too hot not to hold Optimistic like the heat Until dizzy or lightheaded He's the one I've always wanted I just didn't know it Someone had to show it To me in a romantic circle My heart thinks he's perfect For me forever He ain't just a playmate He's the one who makes me better  We're more than friends On me he depends for love My heart goes in circles In truth he's not perfect And he ain't just a mate He's my soulmate.

Only you can shush me To be quiet Only you can push me To great height Only you can rush me To get ready Only you can make me blush We go steady We make love on regular basis Romance on rotation Only you know how After a shower To dry off & drop the towel Only you go slow When kisses flow Get high & pass the bowl Only you can shush me Only you know how To give me such delight  Push me to great height  Only you can make me blush Only you can I love.

When my Lips you Kiss In my heart Apocalypse Of the good kind Your portrait on display To keep you on my mind The only family picture In my house You're my spouse When I hear the phone ring Explosion of butterflies in my belly Sudden rough sea on the ferry When I see you in the drive My body comes alive My eyes open wide Head rush I'm high First thing is first You walk in my direction Steady with purpose Your eyes don't stray My knees go weak Just in time For your loving arms All day you've been on my mind  Now my Lips you Kiss In my heart Apocalypse Of the good kind.

We Share the Memories Though we disagree on details We have common ground That's about all we agree on The ground we're lying on When you touched me Was it butterflies in my tummy That made me dizzy Or an eagle soaring high That made you giddy When you kissed me  Under the blue sky Fear of breakup on my mind Or was it foolish optimism  To try one more time A hesitating hug in the right hour Overwhelming in its power Or is it the eye contact That keeps you coming back We Share the Memories We disagree on details We care for each other No clue what keeps us together You call it Love I say it's Romance We disagree on details We share the big picture Details disagree Our hearts can't keep a secret We share the feeling Love or Romance? We disagree Still We Share the Memories With each other & the world.

Love bubble & piles of rubble Like when a cave-in spares us A storm strikes all around us Nerve centers crumble like sand Powers that be are powerless Inhibition melts like cotton candy  When you hold my hand Smile of joy & happiness With sadness all around us Emptiness fills the void But us together Serious love And optimism in our daydreams We look around us So much well-lit darkness Isolation & resignation Romantic rubble in piles Passionate trouble for miles Broken hearts pave the path Road to ruination is wet The sky is foreboding Pessimism penetrates the soul Unless the heart is unbroken  Shield of irrational optimism  Contusions of delusion  What injury? I'm fine No feeling is hurt Because Love Bubble All around us Miles of trouble  But we're in a Love Bubble  When you hold my hand Smiles of joy & happiness  Because Love Bubble When you hold my hand.

If ever I needed a lesson in love How about now? I can't wait Yet I keep on waiting For you to speak You never say what I expect I'm still learning who you are Inside your heart Romance you instruct I need to be taught a lesson On a plateau at the edge Waiting for you to say What I don't expect To comfort my heart Provoke my thoughts Clear my head Stoke the fire in my desire If ever I needed a lesson in love How about now?

Is this slam poetry? Hell yes! How so? I have to slam it in your face Cram it down your throat Slam the door when you want more Slam it! Dammit! Like you mean it Is truth heresy or poetry? What faith you must have Truth will not set you free Truth is you ARE free Bam! Slam poetry Am I free to live my life? Hell no! How so? I didn't choose to meet you I wasn't looking for sex I thought I had enough In a parking lot your awkward touch Dammit! You kiss like you mean it Slam it! I give you the royal treatment Ram it like an animal Smack my face Slam the door If truth is heresy I want more If this is slam poetry Drop the curtains Bam! Jam the door Dammit! I want more.

Remember the Days I had to drive to McDonald's To update my blog I had to climb a mountain To call you on the phone To update my love Remember the Days Clouds were love bubbles My mind was in a haze My only worry Car troubles So far away We were apart So close together in the heart Remember the Days It's only been 2 years I was living in my van With a cat on public land Now I update my blog From a lazy boy chair I update my love in person Nurturing the romantic blossom Sometimes we are so far apart So close together in the heart Love bubbles in a haze Remember the Days.

When the Clock is Wrong twice a day What time is it? Mostly I am reliable In the right hour A red flower Kiss the right lips It's time to say Coocoo am I for you When the clock is wrong And when it's right Day or night It's time to say Wait for it I Love You When the Clock is Wrong twice a day I'll take those odds I'm right for you The rest of the time Red wine & red flowers  Inseparable your magnet & mine It's time to say Wait for it I Love You When the Clock is Wrong twice a day What time is it? Wait for it  I Love You.

Blowout on the Interstate. Changing a flat tire is romantic. Gay couple on a daytime date for gay pride.  We both dressed to look gay.  This year we're not attending any gay pride parades. Instead, a busy highway of cars paraded past us. It wasn't an easy straightforward fix. Of course not. We're gay. But we got it done. The jack & lug wrench were intended for a car,  not a big-ass pickup.  We had to think about it. Jack up the truck. Put the spare under it. Lower & reposition the jack. Lift again so the spare can clear the ground & be put in place.  The lugs required great manly strength & balance to remove. Perhaps overtightened at the shop. Or the torque of the rim under the vehicle's weight. Finally the spare is on. We tighten down the lugs. Remove the jack. But we hadn't seated the rim against the rotor. My boyfriend is getting impatient. Let's go. I calm him down. I show him the loose lugs. We tighten the lugs. Then drive forward a couple f...

I slip You stumble We kiss I fall in love with you I just know You will break my heart The passion will fade My eyes will wander We will change & grow apart You'll find someone new This love can never last Not forever anyway  What terrible advice we give ourselves We both fell in love I slipped You stumbled We kissed Our eyes did wander We met other people You broke my heart We both changed & grew closer My heart healed up  Those things are true But on 2 counts I was wrong The passions did not fade The love has lasted to this day We fall in love We stay in love We let ourselves make The great mistake of love Every day I slip You stumble We kiss We fall in love forever.

I ride shotgun for love  In the passenger seat Pride this year is a simple date In another town Like on another planet Our ship is the Love Bubble Road trip of romance Gay couple holding hands Talking gently & standing close There's no parade or celebration Yet here we are A day's vacation We strut around because we're proud We don't know any better  Lunch & matinee Under your shirt is lingerie In my smile is honesty In our hearts Ecstasy I got your back I ride shotgun On the drive back We talk about sex & romance How we feel today Every love song on the radio Is about us I play the air drums That truck driver was hot You can get over now I don't nap I stay awake I anticipate I help navigate Back home already To enjoy your company A day of gay pride Tonight I ride I Ride Shotgun for Love.

Bitter Old Busy Bodies They surround me Grumpy with nothing to do But watch from the windows By now they know He's more than a friend He ain't just a mate We've had some issues I can talk about the emotions To show he's under my protection  I start escorting him On & off the property You can mess with me I've seen it all before I'm prepared for you I'm bigger & more imposing Don't mess with my petite sweetheart He's under my protection I put you on notice You Bitter Old Busy Bodies We might start holding hands He's a petite effeminate gay man He's my man I'm his bodyguard  Sentinel of his heart  I see your judgment Like x-rays from rolled eyes  He's under my protection He's naive He's a black belt in martial arts He can take care of himself I protect his heart from nasty remarks What consequence is there Fool around & find out You Bitter Old Busy Bodies.

"Nothing more anti gay than the trans movement."  If you're an effeminate boy, they want to chop off your junk & give you mind altering drugs so you think it's okay. You can never feel the joy of sex, like plastic surgery. You can never orgasm. You can never have gay sex. In LGBTQ, the T stands for transexual & transvestite, whom we all accept. There is no D for drag queen. The crazy caricature of a woman. Misogyny. Driven by sexual urges. Small children stuff money into drag underwear. Somehow this is promoting equality? The T has been hijacked by the drag movement & the mutilation movement. So now the LGBQ (Biden's Freudian slip) want to split from the T, confusing it with the D. Crazy drag queen groomers are the problem. Not the transvestites or transexuals, who we love. Podcaster Dave Rubin is married to a man. They have 2 young sons through surrogacy. So they are the biological fathers. One son is active. The other is more pensive. Today's ant...

Soliloquy for my Sweetie  Silly lyrics My sweet baby Speech no one can hear but me Rehearse for private concert Perform for the one I hurt Another I-Was-Wrong song Breaks your heart & mine too I realize I really do love you Take me back in time  If I say the right words I sing like a bird What's in my heart Silly lyrics of the spirit  Onstage all alone Empty venue Apocalyptic avenue Resounding echo of bad decisions I was wrong when I was young  Now you're gone 2 hearts broke in 2 When I wrongly said I don't love you Now I rehearse as I hurt Sad & melancholy Unheard speech of apology Soliloquy for my Sweetie Another I-Was-Wrong song Until I figure it out How to make it right Admission of infidelity On opening night To win back your heart Wherever you are Another I-Was-Wrong song Takes me back Far away home  Long list of wrong turns  I promise to act better in Act 2 To tell the truth I was wrong & I love you Now back to work  Soliloquy for my...

...In Georgia they call it a sin I'm wearing Tennessee Orange for him... (Her secret boyfriend is holding the camera. You never see his face. But you know he's real.) ♥️♥️

Emotions I wished I didn't have any All day Missing you Longing for you Wanting you Lusting for you Rollercoaster like the ocean  Lovesick with emotion Queazy uneasy & dreamy Jealous doubtful & distracted Afraid I'll never see you again I feel your face as mine Can't stop overthinking Pessimism all day long What if I'm wrong  What if I'm alone And don't know it yet Sadness & regret What did I forget to say I had my chance How many seconds  Quiet! Is someone knocking I'm expecting company A fresh demeanor Love & joy & calmness Kiss & hug & hotness Goodbye to trouble Hello love bubble All my feelings from earlier Get out!  On the double My boyfriend has arrived for real To make out with me So you jaded emotions Get out! Room on this ride for 2 And only us 2 If you hold my hand I'm ready for the queazy  To scream & shout Soaking wet Upside down Inside out  Maybe soon once more  I will say to my jaded feelings Get out! ...

When your partner has health issues, nothing else matters. You will slow the spin of the world for his comfort & recovery.

Adam & Bernardo separated but didn't break up. To stay married, they must stay proud of their love. And turn off the intrusive camera. You married your husband, not a million eyeballs. Social media has threatened my relationship also. We found a balance for now.

If ever I had a reason to live You are it TAG I never felt so sure of anything As I'm sure of you My lover TAG Before I met you I was an empty shell of nothingness Now I'm filled with happiness TAG The more I try to run away  The more deeply I fall in love TAG You taught me true love You say you learned it from me TAG You stood by me When only my legs could stand You made sacrifice Now the greatest joy of my life TAG You watched me step up my game  Way up How can you step up yours Love me publicly So you did & you do Kiss me when I deserve it TAG I can't win this game of Love Tag I just feel in my heart butterflies I repeat play your voice message Close my eyes as you speak  I touch myself  I can't win this game of Love  TAG You just did.

 

Another bullet is dodged Love's arrow pierces the heart Another feeling is hurt Tears well up at the pond When I take your hand Your disappointment starts to show My breath flies away You look down & tremble Ahead of us is worry My task is daunting I must prove my love again Another breakup is botched I don't let you I talk to you Your hurt feelings I nurse Back together as a couple I must prove my love again One word One touch at a time Promises made must be kept Healing eye contact I'm not hiding or running It's a serious relationship Because we take it seriously Meaning is the explosive fuel Loving is the magic tool Talk the expert mechanic It takes time but we don't panic Love's arrow pierces the heart Another trust is betrayed Another breakup is botched Talk about feelings at the pond The task is daunting Another bullet is dodged We fall in love again.

It was a smoky night Full moon red in the sky No stars or Milky Way In the distance Urban glow In a single sleeping bag A team of 2 ragtag Me & you We walked a mile in our shoes We found a spot Behind some trees off trail To kiss & touch without worry We might be seen or judged Bullied or bashed Under a milky sky A team of 2 ragtag In a single sleeping bag The tent is wind & water proof The canopy the ceiling the roof The birds now slumber The bees in their hives Crickets chirp a mating call Lightning bugs are charlatan stars We take turns slow telling Tall tales as whispers in the ear About how our fears Are like horror movies Scary & funny & suspenseful Hold me tight in a sleeping bag Until first light if brave enough The 2 of us ragtag  The tent is right there We like danger But not that much Smoky night Full moon red A team of 2 ragtag In a single sleeping bag Me & you make love in the forest.

This could be us. Gay couple meet on the beach. Grow old together. It will be us. It is us.

I've been high on Alcohol Nicotine & Pot Viagra LSD & Crystal meth But blocker is different I can't make a decision Yes I want to be with you But it's up to you I'm high on hormone blocker You know what that means So you call me first You tease me for our date You give me 3 choices You've been planning But I can't make a decision Why don't you ask me  What I want for dinner We both laugh  I'm like a woman I'm high on hormone blocker You're the trans in this gay romance We're like a lesbian couple I'm high on hormone blocker Unsure of everything Except you & your love Wait You do still love me Right Babe I can't make a decision I'm high on hormone blocker I'm sure of only one thing Yes I want to be with you But what do you want?

Life is Fleeting I spent most of it Fleeing What's in my heart Until a chance meeting You found me unprepared You proceeded to teach me What is true love You say you learned it from me Life is deceiving You think you live in a house But you live in the closet You come out every day Hoping for a chance meeting You found it in me Without polish or poise I give back true love Like a super collider The freeing of your heart I won't die in a closet I hope you won't either Take my hand Hot romance Chance meeting Life is Fleeting June is Gay Pride True love is every day No more fleeing Our hearts are searching for a parade Life is Fleeting.

Can it be a bracelet Instead of a ring Can it be a necklace That says you're with me Might it be a tube of lipstick Instead of a dozen roses Maybe a ton of kisses That say to you I'm devoted Could it be a poem Instead of a home A sigh of passion My eyes will never roam Might it be a lustful stare Instead of those 3 words When I'm ill How you care For me for days in bed Can it be my breath Or the heat of my body Memories of my sweat That give you certainty Can it be a whisper in your ear Honey Dear my Sweetheart You have nothing to fear Nothing can drive us apart What can it be but love?

Fan Fiction. I have a fan-crush on the gay actor Jonathan Groff. It's a fact I wrote this show tune for him yesterday.  But it's fiction that he would ever see it. Have coffee with me. Open up. Tell me his secret life story. Come back to my place. Open up some more. ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Optimism Where did you come from? Optimism Why do I have so much? In my heart it overflows I give it away at Broadway shows I try to be realistic See the silver lining in every cloud Always optimistic I'll get away with what's not allowed I'm optimistic I will find love some day On or off Broadway No pessimism will darken my parade Every show is a charade Oh optimism Where are you now? Rain is falling from the silver cloud But I have optimism Fancy Latin word for Love What I have too much of Oh optimism Where did you come from? Who cares? Here I am Optimistic that optimism is love I see rainbows in a prism My heart is in love's prison I'm optimistic optimism is love Oh optimism Where did...

When your hookup robs the gas station. Steals your car & cash at the motel. But you don't feel that bad because you had a HELLUVA good time.

Holding Jarod's hand, Chris comes out to his parents. They already know he's gay. Dad says, as a soldier, you're more man than most. Chris gets kicked out of the army because his gay love is too public. Now the parents have no real reason to love their son.  Be careful the little things you say. Jarod says "I will always love you." You made sacrifice for Jarod. He is there for you now, Chris.

I wake up from a lover's dream I touch myself like I touch you How you must feel I feel it too But you're not here I imagine the touch of an ex When I was 18 How he made love to me Gave me reassurance So many times & places So much fun we had His new book of esoteric words He changed my paradigm Of course We broke up I became celibate & joined the army He became sick & died of AIDS When he was 25 & I was 24 He's still alive inside me now In my dreams at night In a few days Wide awake  I will make love to you again  How he made love to me 40 years ago.

It's a paradox Irony Oxymoron What did you call me? Two opposites are true I'm wrong You're right I love & hate you I think of you In every quantum of chronology Only the good stuff Bad memories fade to forgive Ponder the future to live Like a broken clock Opposites attract in nature But in love What's in common binds us together Like the sky is everywhere  In loving arms of hope In the heart of a star What binds us The good stuff Faith in every quantum Romance in every moment.

I may be confused But not about my muse Birds & bees make no sense Like us They're buzzed Delusion & chaos Maybe so to others But I see my muse Through the only eyes I have Antique tinted love goggles When you smile & laugh I drink from a bottle Keep my foot on the throttle Unknown destination I know where I am On a journey with you I may be confused But not about my muse I see you through my eyes only Thus my heart will never be lonely I may be confused But I'm sure about you.

I got laid in Cheyenne 100 miles from home Shopping trip for lingerie And other stuff I guess Merchant knew your name & size And the color of your eyes Stay tonight Leave early I said yes I took a bath Wore another man's fancy clothes Not dinner but dinner party They came to hear my story 2 cowboys as married with a ranch How do we manage to survive Lots of gunpowder & lead Target practice on Sunday Gays got guns too Like lipstick  We know how to use 'em Everybody laughs We drink wine glass after glass Couples tell their stories How they met & fell in love Later they find a quiet spot Darkness fills the windows No travel at night for lady men I stay awake despite fatigue Packing for the trip home  Merchant finds me  Has a message for my boyfriend He knows his name & size The color of his eyes Deliver this message exactly It has no words A kiss on my temple  My cheek My lips My nose  My neck A warm hug He feels me up We disrobe Parts of the story ...

In Our Faces Love is not a secret Not in June Not on our honeymoon Not at work Not on the beach We try to make it so Love is a secret But the body is a blabbermouth They see you smile for no reason You work extra hard extra focused They don't know the reason You touch your face Wipe sweat from the forehead Close your eyes Is there sweat on the side of your neck Touch it & feel it Our private dreams in public  By everyone silently We want to be seen We walk so close & slow together How your eyes mesmerize As your lips move I hang on every word I try to We burst into laughter when I  Misremember what you just said You kiss me then & there You can't help it I want you to Love is not a secret We want it to be But it's not something inanimate You can hide in a closet Love is the secret no lover can keep Not at home Nor on the street Truth is plain to see In our hearts In hidden places  Love is not a secret  It's in our faces Love is the secret no lover can kee...

Which is it? Love is optimistic. Pessimism is something other than love. Callum will punch you in the face if you've earned it. But he will stop there. Explosive passions live inside him. He's able to subdue them, direct them into productive pursuits. He comes out to his father & brother. Callum's self-control gives him optimism, which is love. But Ben is pessimistic. He & his father are grifters. Ben doesn't love himself. Callum deserves better. Ben isn't worth it. Ben is damaged goods. Callum's optimism is so powerful that Ben feels the love sporadically. They get married. Still Ben is afraid his bad habits will reappear. Self-fulfilling prophecy. Callum makes one big mistake. He becomes a policeman. Only if Ben is okay with it. Callum will quit his job if Ben says the word. So Callum is away from home for long hours. Ben has loneliness & worry. Ben hooks up on Grindr. Catches an STD. Withholds sex from his husband. You can tolerate your partner ha...

100 Miles to Cheyenne How it all began Hot & gusty dry Chinook  My lips were chapped Wind burn already You gave me a ball of balm You rubbed it to my rugged face You kissed me You say I don't have go Oh but I know & I do What have I to say on the matter When a promise is made & kept Love grows to a greater depth Dog will be with me all the way Pack is full of your provisions A revolver at the ready The path is well-beaten  Friendly travelers are cruisy That's how we met You & I  Full moon Middle of the night  Dog was with me then 100 Miles to Cheyenne We stepped off the trail Your eyes told the tale My pants hid nothing You worry I might meet someone You may never see me again Please come with me You can't but want to My eyes have but one focus My heart is driven before autumn falls To stockpile love & longing For my trans cowboy    You kiss me again & again If this gamble pays off Like it has so many times before  We sacrifice ...

It was a hot & windy day Once upon a time Grit in my shoe Sand blasting my face I press on & stumble Dog is my trusty companion 100 miles to Cheyenne You stay to watch the farm Everybody already knew me I didn't believe them I don't believe them still When they speak to me I look around Oh that's who they think I am It was hot & windy Once upon a time Grit in my boot Sand in my eyes Dust in my throat Dog knows the way home Again I stumble & fumble Suddenly the wind is calm I see our cabin chimney smoking You out front waiting & waving Glass of water in one hand Loaded shotgun in the other Your smile like a bonfire  My trans cowboy has been safe Hot & gritty your embrace A hot bath A hot meal A few drinks A few puffs Infinity are the stars Bitter cold the turn of season  Two quilts surround us both 3 days walk each way Was it worth it? Hell yes Precious cargo in the pack Honey please-get-me list was long Spices & used books Postal mail from your m...
