i despair, darling, over the littlest things i do wrong. did i overstep? starling, i dread to think i did, profaning you. but then you arise with words that clash with my self-inflicting lies and your eyes that watch over me begging on my knees for you to give me that release of forgiveness

To begin with, We have YOU, And we have Me. And we also have THEM, THEY, THEIRS THOSE, WE AND US.

I have, on my youtube, playlists of men. kissing. allow me to excuse myself, but it's not for fun and pleasure it's quite the opposite, it's for my displeasure but that's not entirely true. I have them there to remind me that those men will never be me. I will never Kiss someone Hold someone Love someone like they do for eachother. It's a feeling deep within my bones, a longing not to be ignored, a longing to hold and to be held. To kiss and be kissed. to love and be loved... in a certain kinda way.

bag o' ***** 1.0
Am I a demon? That is what they're saying Am I ******* Satan? Or is Satan ******* me? Am I the gay best friend, is that all I am? I can be sassy, flamboyant but never enough to really defend from the arrows and throes of men So tell me what I am tell me what I got to be So tell me what I am tell me what is stopping me From Heaven's end, even if I repent? Will my sins not be cleansed in the sea There is not much difference in sin from you to me

Tell Me What I Am
I always wondered Why I didn't fit in With all the other girls Who would gossip about boys Why it didn't feel right But I still liked guys My best friend Who I'd dream of kissing Not understanding That maybe it meant something And I was into girls I realised something later Had an epiphany And decided to come out It still feels so right That I liked girls And not only guys The people in between too And why I loved you When I fell in love with a man I felt as though my queerness Wasn't as valid as I'd hoped Because I wasn't with a woman And I wanted forever With the opposite *** I've learned that it doesn't matter Either way I'm queer No matter who I fall for Whoever I love and marry And spend my life with

~internalised homophobia~
arms outstretched, I reach for the stars I was always told to want only to find that I'm tracing myself against murky, illegal water in pink nectar. I'm too rough unexperienced nerves get the best and I dip down ever so slightly not bothering to take a breath. as I slip under the fruity grip the lake of liquid freedom clouds my vision. fear. a calm, calloused hand hardened from time from life from love cups my cheeks and breathes into me with her petal lips sticky against mine a reminder. I float back up before I get a good taste I twist and turn against the current hissing against the surface Solidago and Indian Mallow smeared across the sky reflecting against me until I'm nothing but the fuzz of a peach

Gay Rap
he remembers the day when he got called up. "he's 20," his mother said. "he's my little baby." even the thought of leaving his family was absolutely horrendous. when he arrived however, he saw you. god, how could someone look so ****** good so effortlessly so innocently yet not so innocently as the clothes you were wearing basically supported the term of violence. he's a mummy's boy, he'll cry himself to sleep every night, feeling unsafe. he felt so safe, dear lord. even i feel so safe. today, you offered him canned beans. (you also referred to him as 'mate', which is not exactly what he wanted you to call him, but it's fine as long as you're happy) he finds beans quite gross icky tasteless yuck yet he ate until the can was empty he guessed it was to please you (?) and he wouldn't forgive himself if he ever rejected you. anyone who tried to deny you must be out of their mind. anyway. might be talking ******* but he really hopes you'd offer him some canned beans again.

canned beans
Snow piles up against the walls, but thin clothes are all they wear As the boy gardens within the greenhouses behind the school, Red, bright tomatoes slipping out of his fingers, and popping into his mouth That grins at the bursts of sweetness. Inches from him, the man by one month pretends not to glance his way Instead shifting through the bristling leaves to claim breakfast’s zucchini. He would complain at the theft if the tomatoes weren’t everywhere Making bland meals of packaged rice and canned beans a savory impossibility. It isn’t like little indulgence will take away all of the red little briberies, The secret keys to a reluctant community spreading its arms wide months after the pair stumbled in. The man scowls, and the boy glances up Not hiding his interest like his companion. The solution to anger is always tomatoes, So the next slip of fingers is against the man’s lips As he bites down, the sweetness pops away mild irritation in the flavor of surprise. Neither gives in to smiles, but their shoulders brush more than once as the tension seeps out with the heat into the snow.

Greenhouse Wonders
There was a boy Who had a girl And in the grapevine, Hanging by a pearl There laid a boy Stripped free and mild Four laces entwined And eyes beguiled He bicycled Down from the hill Grasping a gun And a feathered quill He spoke in books And ailing shouts ‘Neath the moon, he shook And began to sprout He said,  “Hush you want me badly, I know But my lone beliefs are bonafide You found a love a long time ago” As he turned, the lover cried, “I dreamt your call Dressed in a shawl I’d lie on your head In a deathly bed From dust to rust, I want the boy In this I trust, I’ll love the boy” He struck a pose Fits in a frame He ate a rose Five hearts he maimed They pranced around Their stolen tags And gave their pounds For fiery drags On squandered soil They lift their roots Their hands unspoiled And aim acute “I want you so You know me well But love is sold 'Neath hollow bells” He said “Hush, you want me badly, I know But why can’t I call you by your name?” “This is nothing if you only show Your incumbent shame” "I want your call I’ll wear your shawl I’ll kiss your head And lull you to bed” “From dust to rust I want the boy In this I trust I’ll love the boy” He said, “Hush, you knew me when? I think not” As he tended to his burning leaf “Life is sweet, but it too will rot I won’t be deceived” “I want the boy Give me the boy Don’t be so coy I want you, boy I’ll love the boy I want the boy There was a boy Who gave me joy”

Her
And here I stand, In the midsts of dripping eyelashes, Once again lost at sea— Nowhere to look but his eyes. I’ve found that, for my lamentable misfortune, I’m still in love. You will always be there, a perpetual phantom in every dream and nightmare, every corner and roundabout, every tear and laughter. I cannot forget, Though I surely have tried.

We live in a straight world. You might not think it’s true, “Gays are coming out everyday could be them next or her, maybe you too” Well I’ll take a minute to prove it to you. If I told you I’m into girls I’d see your brain short circuit in real time, “But you don’t look gay” you’d say. “Straight passing” is what they call a girl like me, who still looks feminine but doesn’t want the D. This “luxury” of remaining in the closet is really hurting my game, Added another straight boy to my list of those who lost it when they heard me exclaim, “I appreciate the offer, but I’m gay” Let’s not forget the most important issue “Gays will ruin the sanctity of marriage” Here, I’ll hand you the tissues. Man and woman, hand in hand, till death do they part, and yet more than half of all marriages end in the perfected art of divorce. Far be it from me, to take anyone’s right to do and say what they want, while you embrace the hate and live fighting the inevitable reality of any queer couple tying the knot. It might be 2018, but I still can’t hold a potential partner’s hand in a public facility without getting disgusted leers and a dreadful look at multiple cases of unprovoked hostility. So, try to look me in the eyes, And tell me I’m not right. But despite it all I’ll keep my head up high And let that rainbow flag fly Because this might be a straight world, But love is love is love is love. And that concludes this winded verse.

I'm overcome by lust A sophistication of the soul Mind bent in two Where I try He betrays Leaving kisses of sin The Garden of Eden is open Left alone without regard Not a regret echoed in time When will he come? My knight of splendor Germanic and full of crystallized juice Reality makes him a Spaniard To whom my life is bequeathed Under the sun for all to see My dream of an Arminius is unrealized Traded for an exotic intoxication Ready is the introduction of grieve But still, I love The lips Constant touch of angelic purity Forgiveness is the actor's end Truce to end entry into the heart Producing gratification of natural optimism

I desire to hear Deutsch, but he speaks the Castilian language
I'm contained by gin Soulful and true Insane but blue Crimson stains Withered sheets of satin Coinciding in my mind Edinburgh rides high London below Call the trolly Games commence Justifying my religion Anticipated revolt But I sing And gleam In Winter's dawn I love him Need And want Colliding with my palms Under a prayer of psalms Ending pitfalls of ***

Imagine you and her together, Right now. Hand in hand, cheek to cheek, laying comfortably in bed. The vinyl record humming, and hearts kissing. That's me and him. We're like this, but we love separately. 6ft apart. One above ground, one so below.

My boy.
dear me in the 8th grade- you haven’t even realized you like like boys yet. you haven’t realized that all of those gay jokes are about you so they don’t hurt your feelings, yet. you haven’t seen what it’s like to be labeled as something, and also that the same label happens to be what everyone will know you as. you didn’t realize that accepting yourself a lot sooner would’ve saved you a lot of memories you’d prefer to forget. dear me in the 11th grade- you’ve realized that after dating so many girls, something just wasn’t really right. you couldn’t pin-point it so you just ignored it. maybe you thought love just wasn’t for you. it wasn’t until that car ride with dad that you understood why everything was so confusing. “be honest with me kid, are you gay?” “oh **** it was something that hadn’t even crossed my mind. dear me in my 3rd year of college- you’re definitely gay. you’re challenged by the fact that you can’t hold your boyfriends hand in public the same way that your sisters and their boyfriends can. you hate that dating through apps like grindr and tinder seem to be the best way to find “love”. however, you love the fact that you now know exactly who you are, and you are unapologetic.

an unapologetic story
I can't concentrate because of your words, the ones I can't help but listen too. You say people are selfish for loving two kinds of people, not one. You say that it's confusing, to like both sexes the same. Like we need you to understand, like we need your permission to like who we want to like I never asked you at all.

YOU'RE SELFISH AND IT'S CONFUSING
I'm glad when I dispensed with toys I preferred girls to boys, not to say there would have been anything wrong with skipping down Canal Street singing a song, with hunky blokes as far as the eye can see, it's okay for others just not for me. If the caprice of sexuality swayed the other way I believe I may not have woke with you today, our hand holds lost in a flurry of men all giving a toss; but rather then know a cockatoo I know you, another bird; my intimate hit, bringing peace of kit, a tantalising fit.
