Beautiful Mistake

Beautiful Mistake
The one I made that day
Took a break off the interstate 
Panoramic overlook of love 
For Heaven's sake

Ignored all the warnings that evening 
Half-truths & substitutes
Falsehood somewhere in the neighborhood 
Poor handwriting. Wrong number 
Then you called me

Forgive my petty peccadillos 
Which one? Falling in love 
The best bad I ever had
So good you promise to make it 
So my eye doesn't wander

What I might miss. Your mighty kiss
Wrong number. Right place
Where I met my forever love
In a parking lot it was hot 
Beautiful Mistake.

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

I remember. This disco song played in a Raleigh NC gay bar. I flirted with a blond hottie. He asked why I wasn't competing in the wet T-shirt contest. My body was off the charts. ROTC + working out all the time. I took him home. He topped me. Ouch! I'm sorry. Hey......slow then fast........ I'll show you the pace with my body. Oh college days! "I Can't Wait". 🎶 Took me a while to learn.... I'm at the Point of No Return 🎶
