Love is Love

His loving touch warms my skin.

This is love, it is not sin.

People hate that we are gay.

I wish that they’d just go away.

We are happy, can’t they see?

Can’t they just let us be?

Love is love, it is true.

But some just don’t have a clue.

Why do they bother us?

Why must they cause a fuss?

Religion is just the ruse

that the haters like to use.

They would hate us anyway,

just because we are gay.

They will never make us split.

In my hand, his does fit.

A look from him and I do swoon.

I would bring him the shining moon.

No matter what they try to do,

I’ll still tell him, “I love you!”

Love Has No Gender

Love has no gender, no reason or rhyme.

Love is just love, it is not a crime.

Don’t let bullies or bigots ruin your life.

If you’re a girl, you can have a wife.

Boys can love boys, yes, it is true,

And don’t forget transgenders, they matter, too.

There are more options than I can name,

No two people are exactly the same.

Love is love, remember that’s true,

Keep your heart open and love will find you.

First Love

The enchanting touch of first love,

his hand fits yours just like a glove.

Though youthful fire ignited the flame,

you both know that this is no game.

The passion that you feel is so real,

and you cherish each moment that you steal.

You yearn for more than just a kiss,

imagining faraway days of wedded bliss.

You melt beneath his tender touch,

you know you love him oh so much.

Some say that you’re young and you should roam,

But in his arms, you know you’ve found home.

Our Last Embrace

I reached up, brushed the hair from his face,

As I melted into his embrace.

The sky was hidden from our view,

As the volcano began to spew.

Ash and soot filled the sky,

I held him tight, we both cried.

I tried to comfort this man I love,

As fireballs fell from up above.

I knew that the end was near,

Trying hard to show no fear.

The volcano’s wrath finally found the place,

Where we clung to our last embrace.

Happy in Love

His dark eyes look at me,

My soul is no longer free.

His shy smile melts my will,

His touch gives me chills.

His sweet voice is just like a song,

And my love for him is strong.

His arms wrap around me tight,

Letting me know all is right.

This guy and I combine as one,

Happy in love ‘til our days are done.

The Way You Look at Me

I can see by the way you look at me,

That our love is not what you see.

I no longer believe your pretty lies,

When I see no love held in your eyes.

I would still get the moon for you,

To know you wouldn’t, makes me blue.

You break my heart every day,

But it breaks worse to go away.

I’m not strong enough to walk out the door,

Knowing it would be forevermore.

Your heart has moved on from me,

I guess it’s time to set you free.

I’ll always remember the love we had,

I’ll cherish the good and forgive the bad.

The Countdown

Ten minutes in, I felt it start.

Nine minutes later, you owned my heart.

Eight weeks gone by, we succumb to desire.

Seventh Heaven, your kisses like fire.

Six more months, I ask you to be mine.

Five minutes of crying, you said yes. Divine!

Four weeks of planning, then comes the day.

Three hours later, and we’re on our way.

Two hearts combined by the exchanging of rings.

One lifetime full of all that love brings.

End of Darkness

The darkness grips my very soul,

my heart just a blackened hole.

Even in the brightest light,

darkness wins every fight.

All the thoughts that fill my head:

stress, worry, and anxious dread.

Surrounded by many a friendly face,

I still feel alone and out of place.

I don’t know what to do

to stop feeling so blue.

Then you’re there, a light in my dark,

and there’s the start of a tiny spark.

The spark grows day by day,

and I hope you’ll always stay.

My sad heart begins to heal,

and I start to finally feel

more than just worry and dread,

happy thoughts invade my head.

You chased the darkness from my soul,

and made my heart completely whole.

Real Love

Your heart beats right next to mine,

Our bodies pressed close, so divine.

These treasured moments, for now, are rare,

To us this seems completely unfair.

Our parents say that we should wait,

Said we’re too young, whether gay or straight.

But our love was too strong to contain,

From that act, we could not refrain.

It’s not lust, but love we feel,

I love you, I know this is real.

Forever Love

There’s this guy that I know,

Who causes my face to glow.

My heart skips many a beat,

My body feels like fire’s heat.

Thinking back to the day we met,

I’d never known true love yet.

That day I just thought him nice,

My heart was trapped in frigid ice.

I thought I only wanted a friend,

But thoughts of others began to end.

My frozen heart, still wrapped in chains,

Of a lost love that caused much pain.

Then one day he pulled me near,

And whispered something in my ear.

I looked at him with questioning eyes,

His smiling face held no disguise.

His desire was plain to see,

He leaned in, gently kissed me.

He held me close, hands on my hips,

Heat spread through me from his lips.

My icy heart melted, the chains fell away,

I knew in his arms is where I would stay.

In that moment, I instantly knew,

Now until forever, I’ll never be blue.
