Laughter is by far
The sexiest expression in
The world far more
Than nudes laughter makes
Me want to kiss
It draws me in
So please keep your
Stares and your dances
And your common obscenities
Fill my heart with
Humor and silliness because
Our world is filled
With too mu seriousness
Tickle me with laughter
I will kiss you
Whomever you happen to
Be wherever you are
It’s the oddest thing
When others could see
Something so evidently marvelous
Yet we were blind
Hooray they all cheered
While we looked around
Wondering what the fuss
Was all about when
In fact it was
Us they were celebrating
How could we not
See that what we
Were was exactly precisely
What the world wanted
Two men in love
Innocently unaware we were
There is one photograph
Of you standing there
My eyes own adventure
Traveling from your face
To your body back
To your face knowing
That like with each
Row of the oar
I get a little
Bit closer to you
I find great comfort
In knowing you’re there
Like a far off
Land I once visited
I enjoy learning you
And your different ways
Your promises and dreams
But most of all
I like how you
Don’t fit in with
My life you challenge
Me and my ideas
It’s there right then
When I finally know
That my life is
Better promises to be
With you in it
Today has been quiet
A lazy spring day
Filled with sunny windowsills
Comfy pillows on sofas
And cloud bursts that
Left sheets of rain
Sliding down patio doors
And of course us
Watching everything yawning
And turning and forgetting
Those outside things paying
Attention only to this
Lazy Sunday in May
