I think my boyfriend's Gay

The way he gazes at the moon, 
Doesn't quite feel right; every day he has a different tune. 
I envy his starlight, the perfect fit for a groom  
The kind that doesn't find a reason to fight

With much passion, I was drawn by his spiritual side, 
Putting on a show with his flamboyant stride 
Like a jewel, he sparkles brighter than 100 years of TWILIGHT 
Without a remedy for fading away, I see no reason to stray
He has never shown an ego larger than mine. 
Nor a side that needs to conceal how he feels inside.  
For some reason, in this relationship, "I'm Always Right." 
With my narcissistic personality, he complements my OCD.

When he dreams and closes his eyes, 
I can sense and envision __ sunrise 
Gorgeous, like a rainbow at any given moment
He's every fantasy come true, nevertheless, too good to be straight...

When he holds my hand, he wears a smile that lifts every mood. 
This feels like heaven in any LGBTQ book everything feels good
No straight man gives a grin with every given look
With boundless joy and passion, sometimes I feel he fell from above.  
Involved romantically, everything one might dream of. 
The hues he wears are not of my yesteryear.
Vivid yellow, a reminder to himself of how happy life should be. 

When he buys flowers, one can feel he's in love. 
Not in love with me, but his unending SANITY. 
Every night, he sits and shares his lovely poetic verses, 
delightful between every course, he has me under a curse
Always writing about butterflies and Cloud Nine.
I won't mention his sensitive side, which is more intense than mine. 
When we talk on the phone, I can feel the pleasure in his tone
Life with him feels like a novel; everything about him feels unreal.
It's surreal, sometimes I feel Danielle Steel wrote his fictional character
What if he's merely an angel in disguise? This would explain everything  

Nevertheless!!! As my mother used to say
If he seems too good to be true, then he must be gay.

Your boyfriend is an inspiration, for sure. Your relationship sounds special. I hope that the result is not only this creative poem, but a worthwhile relationship that is long-lasting.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Lovely write! If you are saying that he is, in fact, great…. Then this is very sweet. If you actually think he is gay, you may be dating my ex husband. We should chat..

Linda, I found a joke book at a tag sale a few years back. One entry said...Why is it good women can't find a good man these days? They all have husbands! You are very lucky indeed if you still have this boyfriend. Toxic masculinity is not fun to be around, while kindness and compromising love lead to smiles. I'm not much on contests, but rather write for personal satisfaction. There seems to be a problem on this site with people using AI now and contents tend to be corrupted by a lack of discovery.
