#gay poems on Hello Poetry

Jaxey Feb 2021

her voice
bent me
backwards
over the
bedsheets
every
syllable
spinning silk
into sea
as she drew
the breath
from my ears
and a symphony
from my lips
she turned my
twin bed
into titanic
along with me
and as I was
drowning
she was speaking
poetry

i will never forget

to the moon and back

i always thought
i'd be alone
i always thought
all i'd ever have
was the pillow on my bed
in which i'd grasp onto
so tightly
frantically searching
for warmth

i cried
i cried so, so much
i never knew
that i could be loved back
that i'd ever receive such a thing
i never knew
that i was worth it
that i'd ever deserve such a thing
yet here you are, my love
i have found warmth
i have found the embrace of a thousand laughters
and a single little kiss on your cheek

my sun,
my moon,
my galaxy of a myriad of stars,
i no longer clasp onto the pillow in despair
but a soft, calming imagination
waiting for the day
you'd finally be there

what's this??? me???? actually having a romantic partner to celebrate valentine's day with???? what?????????

to the boy who stole my heart

to the boy who stole my heart
i hate you.
i hate your glowing eyes
i hate your beautiful smile,
and i hate how your collarbones fit to mine

i hate it when you love me,
and i hate it when you don't
cause im not worthy of your love,
i am suppose to be alone

i hate how your words make me blush
i hate how you're always in my mind
and i hate when you're nice to me

maybe i don't hate you,
maybe i just hate that part of me
that dark and blind part too,

because after all,
to the boy who stole my heart
i love you.

Honeybees

When you took me out to that field
I was so sure we were friends

But then the sweet smell of nectar on your hands
The sweet cherry color of your lips coated now in yellow

A feeling of love, pure love
I didn't know I had came over me

But you didn't notice how my eyes went pink as I stared
Maybe you already knew, maybe you didn't

I made it clear though when I tasted the honey from
off your lips

When I say I'm gay for this, I'm definitely gay for this

sunday

forty steps in the town church to spire height.
we ran away
after communion

watching pigeons roost.

sawdust settled on stained glass.

sat with the stigmata in the pit of me.

your eyes aloft
to the beams where Christ
laid bare

coveting
the beauty in a man.
and learning
boys wish would it grace them.

       i did not think to ask you if you felt the same
        i did not know how.

Things I'm too Afraid to Tell, Part III.

I cant go to sleep
I swear I want to, swear I try, swear I did all the steps right
But you know what

There is only one body in this bed
And it's mine,
And it misses you
And it wishes it did not have to.

Fifty-something weeks

So it took me twelve months,
fifty-something weeks,
to understand that someone you want to sleep with
isn't the same as someone you want to wake up beside

You've said it yourself that you enjoy waking with me
taking the smallest sliver of your bed
(and if I take more, I'll hear about it come sun rise
and our laughter will chime)
Not only am I yours, but you are mine.

after you said you didn't love me

i lay at night
wondering what it might be like
to see your eyes when you come undone
and he's in your thighs

and then i remember
how i surrendered that luxury
when i let go of my heart

what a startle it was
when i looked up and found that i was not alone
before my eyes you denounced my lies
and pleaded with my dying soul

but that wasn't nearly enough

would it be too much ?

if i needed to hold you close for hours and not let go until our lungs stopped breathing,
if i wanted to wrap everything in pretty paper just so i could gift it all to you,
if i dreamt of you every night, soft and pliant or wild and running around inside my head,
if i told everyone around us about how kind you are, how lucky i am to cherish you, how great we feel together,

if i loved you so much that
i stopped trying to hide it within me,
would that be too much ?
