So you said it
You told the truth
Why you asked me
Is being yourself so
Hard because the world
Doesn’t understand things that
It simply can’t accept
As normal when normal
Isn’t what they do
So you said it
To families and friends
That you are gay
And now your little
Corner of the world
Knows what normal really
Is because you are
The funny thing about
Vision is that it
Don’t require eye sight
It does require heart
So just as love
One must learn to
Trust what one cannot
See in order to
Create something extraordinarily beautiful
That only kindred hearts
Are capable of seeing
Love is the
Song of angels
Being in love
Is a privilege
For being in
Love is taking
One step closer
To your God
I’m feeling sad today
Empty really rather unnoticed
Like an ice cream
Cone in February or
Like a sled in
July here in my
Home wondering if no
One out there knows
That I’m here will
They even miss me
It is simply this
Your eyes your eyes
Are like two coffees
Two espressos sitting in
White white porcelain cups
One caffeinated winking at
Me across the room
Asking for my patience
While the other one
Decaffeinated at the end
Of the night buried under
Blanket asking me to
Come and sip and
Taste before my sleep
