Don't Be Afraid, It's Only Love
Location
Eyes connect
Shoulders rolling back
Chest puffed out
Plump lips of pure crimson
Curling up in a seductive grin
Beckoning that I come closer
And closer still
Breath quickening
Pulse awakening
Blood rushing
In hushed tones
Whispered secrets kiss
Fingers brush through hair
Pulling softly with impure intentions
Cheeks flush of lust and abashment
A door opens
Panic
Pushing and shuffling
Questions thrown
Prejudices aimed
Insults armed
A wave of guilt
All for a glimpse of love
For she is a she
And I will never be a he

Being from good ole AL, I'm not someone who has always been in support of gay rights. I guess deep down, I always thought people were just doing it for attention. But those last two lines of your poem has sent chills down my spine as some sort of revelation. I can't say anymore that it's not a true feeling. Obviously, you love her.
I'm not trying to insult you, just saying that your poem has altered my belief in a way, and makes me reconsider. Great poem!
