Beauty (for Julian)

Remember this my

Dear boy beauty

Is some thing

To be given

And not possessed

If you lock

Away beauty it

Withers let it

Illuminate dark corners

Let it smile

Never covet it

For then it

Sours turning from

Grape to vinegar

Likes

And like my

First bike you

Make me weeeeee

And ahhhhhh as

We roll down

The street like

My first Christmas

The gift that

You are makes

Me wonder what

Marvelousness lies within

Like spring you

Blossom and like

Summer you warm

And like Autumn

I did fall

LikingAGuy (to Fred)

How do I

Remain cool so

As not to

Scare you off

I’m not a

Hunter stalking prey

Nor am I

A pointer rousing

Grouses but instead

Just a guy

Liking another guy

Secrets (for Fred)

And I held

It in never

Daring I thought

That he wouldn’t

Like me so

I turned and

Said excuse me

I love you

And all was

Good by then

SparklingWater (for Fred)

And there you

Were this tall

Glass of sparkling

Water that tickled

Me little bubbles

Popping on my

Nose making me

Laugh this freshness

That cleansed so

Many other meals

Making me forget

My heart full

Of heart ache

Your freshness made

Me believe that

A stranger could

Make me laugh

Again at last
