do I offend you with my truth
sorry no apologies will be giving
this is my truth that I'm living
spoken this way since my youth
the cork was slightly wedged
speaking with my proud voice
selective words of my choice
no circle have I ever pledged
they say wine needs to age
my truth have a bitter taste
reformulated without haste
process caused a bit of rage
trial and error with a sweet spin
put in hard work on my own
action exposed; covers blown
taste test went very well again
product of truth; no label needed
ingredients pure and preserved
selling out; long list reserved
reviews hot, product star rated

When I was a child
a mere simulation of an adult reconciled,
in the body of a seven-year-old adventurer -
I'd be a scientist, explorer or a writer succumbed to indenture,
as the storyteller, poet of what may lay ahead synchronizing,
visionary hero of the future uncompromising
out of the histories of some reformulated past stabilizing;
guided by grandmother's heart and care
taking in everything with no thought spared,
caught between the dream and its lesson wellspring
and all the heartaches and happiness it may bring
living, loving, measuring everything;
and here I am today, aged and grown
caught by the ebb and tidal edges sown
of where I was to go within its undertow.
I am the legendary me completed and formed
in a legacy that is created by life storms
satisfied and eased and at last at rest
knowing well - who I am today
can be assured -
I did my very best.

You have redefined my sexuality
I could never fathom
This is now my reality
The stroke of your hand
Let’s me know you are the only man
Who can fulfill very desire
And ignite this ever searing fire
I reminisce on the days of old
Articulations in the dark
Of secrets I tried to console
Many times I rationalized
To be abundantly satisfied
With this and that guy
Unable to find a solution
And I bleed on the inside...with profusion
So oppressed...because none of them
Could gratify what was deep-seated internally
Your perspective of confidence
Is quite extraordinary
And your dexterity will remain legendary
I have reformulated my carnality
All because of your salacious artistry
