I want my love for you to be a sample,
a glimpse of real life that sets an example
for other hopeful Homosexuals,
who feel that bright desire within their souls---
yet hesitate to give it full expession
due to the persecution and repression
imposed by homophobic haters, prudes,
and thugs. I spit upon their attitude's
intolerance that they hold as a duty;
those who cannot believe your flawless beauty
well proves your innate masculinity.
Now I invite you to take off your shoes,
and cross the landscapes of my poetry,
and, by your footsteps, show yourself as Muse.
