<\/p>\n
I look at you,
\na warm embrace,
\nwith arms,
\neyes,
\nmind,
\nheart and soul.<\/p>\n
You look at me,
\neyes that abase,
\nfor you see in my desires,
\nobscene, disgusting, foul.<\/p>\n
I tell you,
\nI try to explain.
\nThe genuine, non-sexual love,
\nThe pleasure, the pain.<\/p>\n
You shun me off,
\nI respectfully depart.
\nI know I will never,
\nreturn again.<\/p>\n
We travel separate ways,
\nas was meant to be.
\nI wanted just a point of convergence,
\nfor a brief moment to be.<\/p>\n
But, seems it’s highly unlikely,
\nbecause we differ in priorities.
\nFor you, it’s about my sexuality,
\nFor me, it’s about my individuality.<\/p>\n
For me it’s important to be myself, an individual.
\nFor you, it seems whether am a hetero-, homo- or bi-sexual.
\nFor you, it’s about stripping the flesh bare,
\nFor me it’s about the heart and soul that are rare.<\/p>\n
Yes!!! I’m transparent, I’m crystal clear.
\nI’m proudly human, even if queer.<\/p>\n
