Contemplate Tomorrow

Remember yesterday
Contemplate Tomorrow 
Here I am in the middle 
Why without you is it a riddle?

We had so much fun yesterday 
When we found ourselves alone
Suck the oxygen out of the room 
That's why I need my own platform 
No fear of showing gay affection 
Looking only in one direction 
No worry of judgment or doom
Only love-making in the closet 
Where we find ourselves alone

Let the past predict the future 
Contemplate Tomorrow 
Together again an open secret 
Walking & talking slow in public 
Punch a shoulder. Bump an elbow
They can see we're on the down-low 
We have a room somewhere gay
Where passion & taboo go to play 

Yesterday is gone
Contemplate Tomorrow 
The riddle will have its answer
Where were you? 
In the middle of my heart the whole time.

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
