Who is that boy over there
too wonderful not to share
who is the boy with a smile like the sun
words so soft I almost don't run
He grabs my hand
Careful to catch me when I land
attic beams bearing strange fruit
chair on the floor and bruise at the loop
queer friends hanging in the silent eaves
strange fruit dangling from the wooden beams
You said forever
I guess you didn't mean it
You went for my best friend
What happened to loyalty?
She likes you too
It hurts but if you're happy leave
Go be with her, please do
My sweet first kiss
Of woman’s lips
Left my mother worried
I told her it meant nothing
But in that eternal moment
It meant the world to me
His quivering hands hold back
His eyes stare wide
Should he take the roses
Or shrivel up and hide?
Oh, mother Sappho! I call upon you
There's a girl of who we need to confer
She came into my life like morning dew,
And stayed like a ceaseless winter froze her.
He is a beautiful man
As I listen to his stories…
War,
Muslim,
Gay,
Death,
Romance,
Hard work,
He inspires me to be better
I love him, but he doesn’t love me
Eternal love,
far greater than eternal glory.
Their love,
burns brighter than any story.
Two soldiers in war,
brothers in arms in the light,
lovers at night.
Hidden love,
Forbidden love,
I'm gay, I'm straight, I love, I hate, I appreciate I disrespect. I'm smart, I'm dumb. I feel but I'm numb, I fight but I fear. I seek, I hide I run but I stay in place. I won, I lost, I gave it my all. I gave nothing.
