20th Christmas

Upcoming is the 20th Christmas
Since we met
The first one We spent apart
With broken hearts
From the first minute I saw you
I didn't expect it to last
I was wrong as Hell

First Thanksgiving we made love
In a real place named Love
In hindsight you were planning the breakup
This was closure & foreshadowing
But I didn't see the door closing

First week in December
I called to see you again
You said you couldn't     Ever
Can't stop thinking of me
It's over     That's final     Dammit

Yeah we got back together in the spring
I'm planning a gay shopping road trip
With you & for you
First week in December 
Not taking you for granted
Is how we lasted

First Christmas we were broken-hearted
20th Christmas Love just getting started.

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
