PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

[for all young men who, like I was, are closeted and

struggle to find accepting and romantic companionship]

Two young queers find, and attract, each other:

falling in love, gently but eagerly, together

neither feels need to inquire of father or mother

(all four of whom strict); the boys do not ask

this is acceptable at home and in the local vicinity.

Nor can prudes and haters prove it a perversity;

or, less direct, an adolescent anomaly.

Each expands the other's developing personality:

always taking their shoes off, sometimes surreptitiously;

and joy in stripey socks, old horror films, and cookery.
