Love?
If only for a minute
to have a safe place.
To be quiet together.
To relax on my stomach,
to drop my shoulders
into a shared peace.
To realize
even one moment
of uncommented
beauty.

If
If I had been raised in the
Company of women
I would have had a lover by
The age of six
She would probably have been ten
An older woman has such appeal
I would be a fine poet
A dancer of stunning excellence
And a delicate water colorist
If I had been raised in the
Company of women.

…And so I pray…
Wonder that is woman
Bless me with your grace
Bestow within me
an image…of what I wish to be
Deliver me of myself
Place me deep in your tender heart
place me amid your soft, temperate wonders
pure…so deep, so unmitigated
I beg of you, Sweet Woman
bless me with your gentle touch
bestow the smile of love
Place your loving hands
upon my upturned face
And in my hands
enfold with your sanctity
deliver me of all fear
I vow my love, faith, my soul
for I be but a mere woman
You…
Goddess from exotic shores
take this life, soul, heart, this body I give
take them all and tenderly keep
This I implore, Sweet Goddess
bestow your transmundane grace
…Till there is no beginning, nor end.

For the Land of the Free
listen children to the debate
about the way we segregate
afraid to say we discriminate
yet rush to vote and legislate
to prevent some from their wedding date
because they have a same sex mate
This country that’s based on equality
is so full of hypocrisy
we claim all people here are free
but that’s not the reality
it’s if they look and act like me
and are in the majority
but lets look back in history
some came here to escape persecution
some came here to elude execution
some came here running from starvation
some came here kidnapped for exploitation
some came to kill the Indian nation
and turn it into their own creation
but whatever their reasoning might be
all they wanted was to be free
and this was the place for everybody
we thought we could live in harmony
but we came in such diversity
that we couldn’t all agree
and started building boundaries
and pushing our moralities
so we grew up to believe
we must fight to remain free
so we can’t sit here quietly
but we can do it peacefully
so the majority can see
we’re not a small minority
and whatever our own preferences be
I’ll stand with the ones who say they believe
a loving marriage is legal for everybody
I’ll vote to keep ALL of Americans FREE

Shadow
I feel like a shadow walking behind you. Knowing all the things I love about you, yet all the indecisive things you do. Just like myself you’re my shadow, walking at such a fast pace to keep up with the movement of both of our decisions. Not knowing we are making the same implications. We get lost in the darkness. Wondering what we are going to run into blindly next.
These things we call consequences of life drag us carelessly through the breaking light to tease us with happiness knowing our relationship will never be bliss. Making us wonder why we hold on through that brief moment of clarity that we call love. That only cleans its hands once in a blue moon.
The glimmers of light have long passed as we decide to go in different paths of deception, Hoping the other doesn’t notice through the darkness what’s really going on.
The light is gone and our paths are so dark that we can’t see that the other is breaking, from the pressure of the light that comes in awaking, every dark secret we thought we kept…. that is now revealed.
The light shows to the other the decisions that change there lives forever as they choose to believe the love is still there, Clinging to that last bit of light from that last transparent moment,
When they thought they were still in love.
