False Sense of Security...

from our inner self what emotions 
do we project... 

what message do we transcend... 
and in return what do we get... 

the attraction, that underlies... 
unfolding, bitter criticize... 

the search obtuse,...the mind trap 
set, the capturing methodical... 
a surrender, we have settled... 

...to all kinds of abuse, vulnerable... 
desperate, for love to work,... 
this social sense of security, 
promised to every boy, every girl... 

we read it in books, 
it is found in our music, 
the luring, of the something 
missing, the void for some, love, lust, 
for many designed to destroy... 

the depth at which we search, 
is dangerous, for face value, great 
depths lay the siren of hurt... 

seek and she will find, to settle is 
a love blind, each mistake lays in 
wait...only a matter of time... 

blame someone else for the 
path we tread 
we all know self denial...
mixed words 
read ...

for our hearts, are delicate, 
intricate, driven from deep emotion, 
one mistake can confuse, 
from a love to mere slave devotion... 

...we have to live with what we do, 
moreover with what we say... 

I made a choice that changed my life... 
...the right to love gay... 

there was a time when I felt ashamed, 
that was due to a few mind setss'... 

...I rose above, their bigotry...
their senseless prejudice...
twenty nine years on  
my darling partner and I 

...most of these others' are separated... 
and or divorced... 

It is written in the scriptures, 
that what we practice is sin, 
I rather die true to myself, than die a bigot, 
knowing my 
inner truth..."this is sin"
