LGBTQ > QWERTY
Jonathan Paulson Feb 2018
Letters jumbled,
Here and there on a keyboard,
Looking through our code to see where the error is, the truth is you cant find a mistake if it never existed.
We were just programmed differently, the error was all along in a mirror when you look up and understand.
Most of you looking at the white light while we already passed through the prism.
It was never about leaving the closet, we were forced into it, never been allowed to touch the *** of gold.
Roads diverged but my options are more than two, our orientation isn't a highway but that doesn't mean we don't belong on the road.
They tell me opposites attract but I fell in love on the same side of the pole and sometimes on both sides of the pole.
Religious men telling me Santa doesn't like mistakes but if you look aside your blinders, your God made me.
Stuck between the door with a skirt and a pant, some forget I'm still questioning if I look good in a pant or a skirt.
Letters in a straight line, they push us to get in line and choose a road but we like to wander and wander we will.

Memory Corks
Jonathan Paulson Nov 2017
Buying a bottle was an adventure and she was always my plus one.
We plucked cork after cork, off the bottles, never thinking back.
Every bottle had a story and the corks we collected were the summaries.
Every cork was a memory, stored in a cage never to be revisited but always to be cherished.
Never to be forgotten, till the night came where she'd never again be my plus one.
Now I sit here with my glass empty, looking at a cage full of memories.
I can't start a new adventure alone nor can I keep this glass empty for long.

If she's happy, let it be.
Jonathan Paulson Oct 2017
Lets burn the bridge.
Create some distance.
Half way through, I'll jump in.
You wont know, but I'll swim all the way.
I should have known you lit the match to burn the bridge.
I'll never be him.
If I drown, you'll never know I was competing in a game he already won.

They said let go, so I did.
Jonathan Paulson Oct 2017
I can be black
You can be white
Never together
Like yin and yang
You took up the majesty but i was always there, always ignored.
We were like a game of hopscotch but after every game I felt I was on a wheelchair.
We were parallel, forever and always
Never together.
It all comes back to me when i stand here as you wore white and he wore black at the altar.

— The End —
