Female, male, female, male
Neither of the above in here
A safe place where we're together
A safe place where we can talk
through our stares and our emotions
Our skin is invisible
Emotions bare in the light, shifting pigments, colors
curious and happy
unafraid for the first time
Something so beautiful cannot be real
and it's not, by real's standards
Once the 'real' barrier is broken
Everything felt, everything experienced and everything not
is suddenly very real
These moments define the vitality of life
and the pain releases and seeps through my eyes
but I'm okay, I'm okay
For the very first time, I'm okay
"LET us twain walk aside from the rest;
ReplyDeleteNow we are together privately, do you discard ceremony,
Come! vouchsafe to me what has yet been vouchsafed to none—Tell me the whole story,
Tell me what you would not tell your brother, wife, husband, or physician." - Walt Whitman
