Best Lgbt Poems

Announcing it in the paper that day,
the LGBT club soon got under way,
meeting at Bruce's bike shop on their harley's,
is where they'd all meet before going on their journey,
some newcomers arrived as well,
and from the looks of them couldn't
tell if they were a woman or...

Lesbians, Gays,
Bisexuals,
Transgenders.
Lend me your ears!
I'm speaking right now
From deepest within.
Come out!
Come out from your shell.
There's nothing wrong
To be perfectly you.
Forget about sexism
Wings are made to fly.
Your colors are bright
Put crystals in skies.
Lesbians, Gays,
Bisexuals,
Transgenders.
Be proud of yourself.
Live to be unique,
Live it up loud,
Live with your wings.
You're...

i see the way you look at him,
holding his hand,
kissing him,
and i see  you’ve been cursed.

cursed to love a man you never truly loved,
cursed to lose the girl who gave you butterflies.
if you were a boy,
you said, so many years ago,
i think i’d want...

In all honesty,
I never learned your name.
I didn’t need to; 
The look in your eyes is your name 
Like fireflies, they twinkle and glimmer your name
A name I love saying 
The way you stare at me 
It’s like I’m the color yellow,
And I’m painting away...

We were taught 
that to be qu**r
means to be strange,
to be unlike the rest,
to be different, 
but not in a way that would raise surprised brows 
or taint eyes green with jealousy.
We were taught 
that to be qu**r 
means to be different 
in a way...

"The Forgotten Poets"



Saints and Sinners
all calling out for 
forgiveness 
and wanton recognition

de Sade like minds
libertine and revolutionary
Saints living out their penance 
kiss the sharp lips of Sinners

Juxtapositions of souls
Sinners become divine
Saints become unhinged 
more human, mortalised
willingly they are led

They Become

Love makes us 
All Hallowed Souls
intrepid...

We may not agree with you, but we love you.
We may not condone your choices, but we accept you as made in God's image.
We are not afraid of you, but we believe God wants a different life for you.
Why do you say we hate you?
Is...

"Plumage"



We are the iridescent gems
kicked like rubble
gifts to give

we walk souls 
in dead bodies
all colours, plumage to be free

accepted our truth,
is shunned by the better ones
we are viewed obscenities

integrity takes courage
honesty by the beautiful ones
broken down by frowning whispers

bits of us shine 
put together again...

Learning a heart beats makes life go fast
My heart beats twice as fast as you think
and half as fast as I remember


When the rainbow came out
over my grandmother's wet face
in the rain in a crowd 
of nervous spectators

I graduated again
under the gazing admiration of 
a...

I come out gay today.
What has taken me so long?
It is my fear of what some would say,
Now I feel free as a birdsong.
Many years living astray,
My true self was all wrong.
My happiness has had to pay,
Time to stand up strong.
Gay today and forever me,
Achieving...

You fell from my nightmare that keeps unfolding in the dark
Carrying my dead body on your back
And offering cheaply all that you are
You bought them all
Your mask won't stop me from noticing your crime
Next time I see you two together I'll be the one holding...

I met her in the coffee shop
She hid me from a violent cop
She didn't care if I'd been hooking
She gave that cop a sober look and
Said, "She ran out that back door"
While underneath the check-out stand
I curbed a giggle, touched her hand
And saw that copper...

Willing to pay the most tragic of prices
I just want to feel something soon
Using her beauty for only the worst of vices
Knows what she’s doing too

Can’t stop the hate that follows temptation
You’re all I want but can never see
Walking around with the worst reputation
Never-ending buzzing,...

I was raised in one of those white nationalist churches,
passing itself off as a Christian evangelical Bible church,
where "evangelical" meant fundamental
and "fundamental" meant we did not interpret scripture
but accepted it as God's literal trans-historical Word
of universal white male dominant
Bible thumping supremacy,
transcendently un-changing like...
like...
like nothing I've...
