When I was a child, I had a problem.
I knew, with the naked knowing of youth,
I was queer, and would be all my life.

I also knew not to tell anyone.
Who would want to hear this?
Silence said: “Be silent.

Your desperation’s your own.”
I kept quiet, as best I could,
and walked quietly out of childhood.

Pillow talk whispers,
a good morning kiss
Coffee for two
on a day such a this

Watching the sun
glowing soft in your eyes
Waking the dawn
with the bluest of skies

Hearing the birds
as they sing in the trees
Rose petal fragrance
afloat on the breeze

Butterflies flutter
so free on the air
Flower to flower
with nary a care

Gazing at you
and that beautiful smile
Feeling your love
as we sit here a while

Living each day
as if it were brand new
Because they are
*when I start them with you
Good morning beautiful
Poets were created
       to emulate grandeur,
            whilst suffering the blues
She wore the years
on her face,
making it plain to see
they had not been kind.
I ran into someone I hadn't seen in years, and was saddened by the way drugs, alcohol, and smoking had taken over her life. I thought, if this is what it's done to her outside appearance, what has it done inside? Very sad.

My heart is the poet,
*I am merely its scribe

Night winced at the luminous arising, parted,
lost, sulking back knowing Its time to envelope
Was clawing, burrowing slowly away.

The cold never bothered me
But the heart break has severed me.
Our love was once inimitable
You and I, we were incomaparable.

To me, you were the heaven's sent
But you scarred me, made my life bent.
I'm scared to fall in love once again,
I'll never fall in love, no, never again.

My broken heart is beyond repair
All I need is your tender love and care.
You gave me sleepless nights,
A broken heart and a love fright.
