In Our Faces


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 keep 
You see it In Our Faces.

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
