100 Miles to Cheyenne


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 a week
For a winter of love & more 
I shall return Wind & sunburn 
With items so intimate
You'll forget I ever left

Until then I Miss You 
100 Miles to Cheyenne.

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
