HIDDEN PLACE
I dropped the covers
On living the life I never existed in
Shut the doors and hid
It never crossed his mind
I lived in that cozy little inn
A place imaginary but real
Door creaked
Pulled fiercely
Frowns of laughter
Filled the town
Misery called his name
Stigma pushed him out
Anger and Strength walked in hand-in-hand
Fingers became brave
Courage now my feet
Door smashed and I walked through
I tore the covers
As I laughed
The world I knew was shocked to see
The rainbow I came to be

TEENAGE POEMS: VIRGO
The strong virile sweetness In a kiss, hand on hair, skin against skin Love known in two hearts Beauty of man loving flows Souls entwining in secret song Lips touch

Sitting across the dimly-lit table Alone It wasn’t always like this… * My paramour I was enamoured by you Those chocolate-brown spheres Setting my soul ablaze Blasting me into oblivion
I’M NOT GONNA…
I’m not gonna be that person you call when you wanna get off I’m not gonna be that person you call when you’re lonely I’m not gonna be that person

This is the dream of almost all gay men. To live a life devoid of inhibitions.
