Forever Hold Your Peace

We thought it was a secret. It was
But everybody knows about it 
They just ain't saying nothing 
On we go faking & loving 
Bonus. We don't explain our love

We got business to go about 
Erasing all relic of doubt 
For our hearts we got spare parts 
We're ready. Loins are girdled 
We don't fear being outed
We're tired of hiding & pretending 
They won't dis us to our faces 
In our backs you'll find a knife 
They'll say nice things
Except when we're out of town 
They will tell everybody. Why not?
The secret is too powerful to keep 
Love didn't ask us permission 
We've gone too far. No turning back
From Day 1 we knew it was wrong
Two hundred love songs later
We always knew there was an "us"

Nothing they can do about it 
We can't stop it. You think you can?
Please keep on saying nothing 
We go on acting & loving
Bonus. We get married in public.
Forever Hold Your Peace.

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
