Thunderbolt of Lightning


Like a thunderbolt of lightning
Passion is frightening
Like a moth to a flame
Burning upside down
Love is an illusion of wonder
Thrilling in the memory
Future in the flashes
Dreams hidden in shadow
Images of a mirage
Hurricane rages in my head
Battered & bruised & red
Emerge from the pain
Into a world of disdain
Broken romance & fractured hope
Stripped of all delusion 
Kisses in the clear blue
We can start over
Love is a thunderbolt of lightning 
Passion is frightening
We pick up the pieces.

The narrative is that gay life has improved since 2007 when John Paul kissed Craig. That's a false narrative. The gay & lesbian community (LG) now includes straight people (BTQ+).

And straight people don't understand. They don't feel it. Also many political gays are blinded to the everyday reality of gay people. First kiss John Paul & Craig 2007.

Your fellow recruits discover you're gay when they see your ERECTION in the communal shower. You're beat up & ostracized. But you hang in there. Slowly other trainees start to defend you.  One of the drill sergeants takes up for you when the other instructors join the gay taunting & mistreatment. You misinterpret that as your drill sergeant is secretly gay. Maybe. In the final field exercise, you follow him into the shower. You make a pass. He didn't help you because you're gay. He helped you because it's his job to help recruits. You are not the first gay Marine. Your ghetto mom shows up to Basic Training graduation. She forgets you're gay. When reminded, she makes a scene in the dining hall & calls you out as gay. The crowd chant their support for you. Your mom regrets she di...

Resting bitch face is a blessing? No it's not. You complain nobody tries to pick you up. Yet people flirt with you all the time. So at the bar, you hit on a guy. He thinks you're the hottest person at the venue. You reject him because he's looking for a relationship; the thing you say you're looking for. WARNING stay clear of this  confused person.
