Empowered

I am empowered to confirm

My passion

For another friend

With such compassion,

I fell in love

And we remained face to face

For years

Embrace in embrace,

Flesh upon flesh

Our bodies screaming

I confess, I confess,

Finally in love

With one in the same

No reason to hide

Just because we thought

Family and friends would

Throw us into the night,

Cast us into darkness

Forever possibly

It no longer mattered

Our love will still shine

We feel freed

It's her and I 

That deserved to be happy.

Sometimes the hardest thing is to throw yourself out of those lonely closet doors but I commend those who are strong enough to do so. Most Poeople don't understand because most people don't have to deal with that. Whether its true or just a simple write, nicely done

[Tarry Franck]

I have to admit this poem is pure beauty. I love the emotions and the love expressed very beautifully in this poem.

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you so much my dear friend! I've missed you! Been out of sorts for awhile.

This poem screams of "two against the world". I really like the fact that even with such strong forces holding the two people bacl, they still learn to rely against one another. Eventually, people will get used to them and their happiness will show at the end. The way you put it into writing shows the strong impact of love against people's judgments. This is a really beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing!

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you so very much :)

Well, a coming out if the closet. I think confessions can be helpful to polarize our pathways. We can enjoy the freedom if expression when we "confess" love.
Favorite line, "our bodies screaming, I confess, I confess,"
Love this confession.
