I love you (about gay love)

I light my candle for you

Because you are forgotten by all

Your dishonor to society has made you ignored

You who only loved

They hated your love because you did not love like them

You are forgotten because,

They are far more important than you

You are an unimportant people

You disgust an indifferent society

Little do you know…

You won’t ever be accepted

Even though your eyes see through their hate,

Their love for perfection

You are imperfect

You are forgotten.

You don’t exist on the radar of remembrance

Man with man

Woman with woman

Do you really believe love is an impurity?

Are you impure?

Does “impure” really capture the meaning of love?

Idiot.

Have you not felt love?

Have you never been kissed,

With more affection than just a polite hello?

Have you never felt the soft touch of someone

Who actually cares?

Haven’t you ever been looked at with desire?

Someone who will live for you, breathe for you, die for you.

Feel your guilt and your stupidity,

Accept that love, any love, is pure love.

You will be forgotten.

Your stories will never be told

Because no one wants to hear them

Your suffering was self-induced

Just pretend

Pretend your skin isn’t yours

Someone stole it

People beg for the right skin

For acceptance

My skin isn’t mine

Your skin isn’t yours

“But at least you won’t be criticized.”

You will be forgotten.

A simple touch,

A kiss.

Holding hands with a member of the same sex.

Thank God you were willing to die for love,

Because today, love, that kind of love, is permitted.

But how can you not love beauty?

How can you permit yourself not to love?

What if your soul mate was inadequate in the eyes others?

What would you do?

Who would you be?
