Like a Guitar

Like a guitar
You are the memories of my heart
Tunes I play for free
Songs I write for you
Under strobe of a candle
Lyrics too hot to handle
Rhythm carries out the rhyme
Feels like the Greatest Love of All Time

I won't bluff. I can't make it up
As a whisper I must deliver
Verses that make you quiver
Lines that confuse & seduce
On my guitar I rehearse
Hours & days & weeks
For a minutes-long concert
Of passionate romance
Audience of one

I make you smile. You watch my eyes
I fumble over the chords
You feel the warmth of my words
Your knees go weak
How I make you feel
The Greatest Love of All Time
Like a guitar
You are the music of my life.

(3/8/2024. Gay Love & Romance)
Theme Song for this Poem

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
