It Gets Better

Just when I think
It can't get any better
Guess what?
It gets better

I'm flying high above
A hot balloon filled with love
Light heart full of delight
We make out & sleep at night
We toss & turn like viper snakes
Burn & learn from mistakes

Pillow talk disarms the heart
Vulnerable to your judgment
I'm in a predicament
When I think
It can't get any better
It does

Just when I believe
The affair has run its course
The stream has run dry for summer
The feelings have grown old like winter
Surprising tempest in a teapot
Passion with my man You're hot

I hear a clap of thunder
I'm struck with wonder
He has a secret name & it's real
He's my lover & I wear his ring
From above Floods of Love

Just when I think
It can't possibly get any better
Guess what?
It definitely gets better

The fling did not run out of juice
We gave another try & then another
Just when we think
It simply can't get any better
Guess what?
IT GETS BETTER.

No gay roles for actual gays

Straight actor plays a gay role. The in-depth discussion reveals strange realities.  (A) Theater & Hollywood are full of gay people. Yet somehow only straight people can be found for gay roles. James Sutton is to be commended for not expressing contempt at gay men. (B) Nostalgia for the bad times of the past. 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+). So straights have taken over gay spaces & diluted their gayness. Gay bars have disappeared since European countries became Muslim. Gay life is more dangerous than ever. 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.

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
