Barry's Van
It’s not a secret.
It’s not a superpower.
I will be yours forever.
Falling -
Gently, you whisper.
Dust particles surf the light.
The blue of your eyes;
Oceans.
I felt it only once.
Hip to hip,
One seat for us both:
Sharing.
He can make you marvellous.
He can make you real.
I know because I am,
Now.
The day of love;
The tan and the silk.
I believed you then;
Once.
The person I was is not who I know.
You were always a mystery.
There was no room for me:
Ego.
He asked me once
Why I was around:
These years were mine to hold,
Individually.
A silver van for a golden man.
Two years boxed in.
One too many lies:
Excuses.
Temporary and insignificant:
It all came with the package.
All out of view of the shot,
Hidden.
Did you learn what it was to be a man?
It hit me in the moment,
And, again, since.
Twice.
Respect and sincerity,
Trust and commitment.
Appearance in forms:
Clean.
It applies to us both.
Our souls did not dance.
The sun did not shine,
Often.
The smog skewed my view.
I was an imposter.
I said too much at once:
Insecure.
Sitting there, silent,
I soaked it in.
Few words were spoken but I was released:
Free.
