They say,Love is love.But let’s be real—Love is the ocean,Not the wave you see crashing on the shore.It’s not a label we wear,Not a box we check.It’s a spectrum,A wildfire,An ancient story retold in a thousand new voices. They say,Love is simple.But we know it’s anything but.Love is messy, tangled, […]
Read MoreThe Veil of the Veins
Beneath the skin, where shadows creep,Where silent specters nightly weep,There courses through, with muffled breath,A harbinger of quiet death. Oh! How it winds, how it ascends,Through veins and arteries, it bends—Invisible, it takes its hold,More treacherous than tales of old. No cawing raven warns the door,No tempest howls upon the […]
Read MoreA Man’s Man?
To be a man’s man, they say, Strong and silent, Guarded, like a fortress Whose walls never give way. But the mortar they use is fear, And bricks of shame they lay. They hand us scripts with no pages for tears, With no room for doubt or dreams that dare […]

Read MoreMy Faith Is Not a Cage
In a world that draws its lines,I stand at the crossroads.Where faith meets love,Where I meet myself,Queer and Christian,Not a contradiction, but a harmony,Not a struggle, but a truth. They say the path is narrow.But I walk it wide.With the light of the Gospel in my heart,And the colors of […]
Read MoreAs Soon As
In the hum of the city, in the pulse of the streets,We chase the “as soon as” with hurried feet.“As soon as I finish,” “as soon as I start,”The whispering echoes fill every heart. We sprint through our days, always looking ahead,Our minds on the future, our souls underfed.“As soon […]
Read MoreChildren of the Creator
We are all children of the Creator,dancing in the kaleidoscope of existence,each step a testament to the spectrum of love. In the dawn, under the vast sky,our hearts beat the same rhythm,echoing ancient whispers of unity. Some walk the straight paths,carved by generations of tradition,their love like a river, steady […]
