Love Poetry - D
Desirable - August 7, 2001
I want you
for all you are
your butch attitude
and the tears behind it
the one spot
delicate
which I know about
but never will completely get
for the arguments
we start
over my insecurities
I keep coming back to you
because I know
that your character
your way of thinking
your compassion
and your huor
will take me out of this shell
just please don't leave
before I'm out
I need all you have to offer
because I know
you'll make me stronger
and I won't be
the bad idea
I seem to have been
and you won't either




Division - May 23, 2001
I don't like men much
and women
right now are not at the top of my list
why am I so needy for a
relationship
why do I feel so close
when they feel so far
I either find someone who's
jealous
or who takes her
butch role
too far
or
who can't communicate
and when I think everything's fine
whoever I'm with decides
its' not
it's odd how I felt
of one mind
and she made the individuality so
distinct
I'm confused
I guess
I listened when we talked
and she brought up her
concerns
but maybe I have the wrong ears




Don't Be Afraid - December 2, 2000
Don't be afraid
I don't bite
Unless you like that
I love you
I know that now
At least, I love the you I know
I want to know all of you
Looks
Touch
Secrets
Soul
Past
Future
World
I need to know
I have to wait
to see you in person
to hold you
and kiss you
my Jennifer
I hope you don't mind me calling you that
you are not imprisoned
unless you want to be
either of us can leave at any time
if that's a concern of yours




Differences - February 20, 2001
sex is love
sex is affection
sex is monogamous
free love
love controls all
love controls the heart

When this discussion occurs
I am afraid I will lose you
but I feel that though we disagree on
these
we agree these thoughts are subjective
I love you in my way
You love me in yours
And neither of us wants to lose the other




Dive In - December 4, 2000
You want me to throw you
into the water of my
love
to smother you with kisses
drown you
in my cleavage
caress you till it
chafes
seranade you till you're deaf
hug you till
you break
and
make love till you're
breathless?
You who haven't hugged
in one and a half years
you who hasn't loved
in
five
years
you want me to show you
I love you
much like
many babies are "taught" to swim
they're
tossed
into the pool
do you really want me to do the tossing
or will you just
dive in?
I can't wait
to find out
your answer




Dominoes � July 15, 2002
You have no idea how much I love you
but there�s a block
with all the complaining
I feel that here�s another woman I can�t please
I feel like a failure
and want to throw in the towel
it doesn�t mean you should never complain
and I�m trying to be strong for you
but I also have avoidance behaviors
sleepiness and
apathy
which in the end make me look bad
and I in turn feel bad
and then repeat
and so it goes
don�t think I don�t care
I act that way so I don�t destroy myself




Drag - October 6, 1999
God, what an insensitive
bastard
I love
Doesn't he know that swearing
echoes
the beatings I experienced and
witnessed?
Doesn't he know that the
people
he condems
for being transgendered have
probably
been beaten, disowned, slashed
for being what is
natural
to
them?
Doesn't he know that we
should not be defined
by gender roles?
So, I'm not girly.
Does that make me a freak?
So I care and ask questions.
But he dismisses them with
"it's my fucking life."
What have I gotten myself into?
You think my concerns are
stupid and so, belittle me
I HAVE WORTH
What if I were to walk around in suits,
or
in overalls with a tool belt?  Is that
MAN'S
stuff?
You're STRAIGHT.  YOU have it easy.
You're not told you'e going to Hell
every
day of your life.  You're not denied
housing.  You're not denied jobs.  You
have it easy.
I don't want to be labelled by GENDER
and neither does he.
You think he's a freak
You insult one of my brothers or sisters,
you insult me
Do you even care about
humanity?
I don't know if I want to
know you.
As long as people are individuals within
your confines of the word, it's ok.
Bullshit.
