More than CuriosityA Poem by Brandon MarleauI've been having dreams.Stepping less and falling back Confused by what I see Who is it now, falling prey By staring back at me? Who wants a man, so strange in mind A broken body, yet loved by many Who cares what gender I seek? A man or woman, either is fine Yet shunned am I by the weak. They call me gay Yet half the truth stares them hard in the face. I fall to my knees, and trust too strong And walk with the shame in my pace. My desires extend in both, not one My attraction further than curiosity Yet they know not how it is to find attraction In both the pink and the blue. Mother doesn’t know, though my friends Find it funny. I don’t appreciate the laughing Your understanding is false. Half and half gave room for life To see it as a blessing Scatterbrained, though I am my thoughts remain soft. To be with a girl, to be with a man Favored none over the other. I’ll find the right one I’m sure it will come As I’ve dreamt of a boy so soon. I know not his name, but only his initials; they fill me with such glee. I’ll find him someday I know it is quite true, and till then I’ll wait for JPG. © 2014 Brandon Marleau |
