and that sort of thing is always in fashion

I befriended a lesbian named Mary Lou
Enamored with women and all that they do 
With her loving spree 
As a man, I agree 
And have to think, I might be a lesbian too!...

There once was a sweet thing named Cindy
Who tripped and went end over endy
She showed off her ass
To the delight of this lass
But alas, she's so straight she won't bendy....

Heated these shores, whereupon passion bears her grip...
A lady in love with another woman, and how can she deny this
Stirring deep inside racing through her veins the rapture, of her heart....

I just once again, 
tried to pick up a lesbian.
This sort of thing happens to me very often.
I am always amazed to learn how many women are lesbians,
whenever I get hammered and start hitting on women."...

Patty Cat, Patty Cat, 
Sheath your claw;
Rat-girl and Cat-girl
Rollin' in the straw.

Merry Mary Blackberry fairy

Cows that play the live-long day

Some wildness runs in Artemis
As silver streaks in a jet of coal-black hair

This beauty    wrought to tempt a man
Is    by her lesbian air    a beauty wasted

Her eyes to thine reflect a dream
Where senses numb and leave the lips untasted...

lesbian love
sweet love
lesbian love
true love
saw her sitting on a
picnic table
thought maybe I should try
but no was the answer
as I walked by
said it was lesbian love
girl love
lesbian love
hot love
lesbian love
true love

My gaydar sucks when it comes to lesbians.
I can never identify any of them.
I never know if I'm talking to a lesbian with an attitude,
or just some woman in a very bad mood,
and if any lesbians take offense with that,
well, I apologize, but you've just proved my point in seconds flat....

what is love?
is it romance?
or just friendly?
no one really knows
love is something we all need
even if your white, black,
rich, poor, fat , skinny,Asians,
Hispanic, lesbian/ gay, bisexual,
straight
everybody needs love
because if we don't 
there would be no more marriages or 
babies
so love everybody...

When You
ran away
with the rock-star
I ended-up
in Newbury Street
Billy Goat
in Gay and Lesbian 
parade

and now
lonely
like the one
who lost 
the whole family
in a car crash
cry with hail tears
for the sea lions
of Newton
living in Brookline

back then
it was a big deal
now is nothing
just two drunk southies
on a dead point......

What happened to all the gay poets I used to love?
I just sprained my thumb on the tailgate of my truck
What happened to all the lesbian poets that I loved?
Pockets full of rhymes and rocks
What happed to all the poets?

"I'm sorry," I said, "but if I knew you were coming,
I would have taken the time to tuck myself in."
"It looks like you already are," she said in between laughing.
"My god," she continued, "you're hung like a woman."

My last conversation,
with my friend the lesbian,
after she, 
unexpectedly, 
caught me naked while I was showering....

I wish you were a boy. 
The ones my mother talks about with a forkful of mole poblano. 
Singing me a fantasy of wedding cake and children. 

Her passion threads a life of regret for me.
Sewing me up like a street vendors maría doll. 
Finishing me off with a gown and a man. 
How cruel....

What if
 What if I was born a girl,
Being me, I’d not want boys,
I’d play football with the guys,
An shower with the gals.

I’d be checking out the other girls,
An complaining bout my blinking curls,
Won’t wear makeup for the world,
punch out the cheeky  guys.

Get myself into a flat,
Manly Lesbian, where I’m at,
Share a bed n snuggle up
With my exciting lady....

I am a girl with a body made of soil. We catch falling embers of fire in our bare hands with laughter;

And later I catch your eye across the dance floor. I can't find a way to open my mouth. 

I dreamt once that Aphrodite was a human soul with her arms full of lilies, and I dreamt once that you were a sun-kissed god remaking my bones into wildflowers. 

Please, love, devour me....

A flicker, a spark

The all too familiar fear of feelings

I see you as an apple orchard in bloom

The honeybees harvesting their bounty

And I hear your name

I think about Romeo and Juliet

Not that you would cause a catastrophe

More of my heart already planned our wedding

What flowers to plant in our garden

How wonderful you would look in green

Emerald green...

COMPROMISE

There was a young man from Bordeaux
Who had some work done down below.
Deft realignments;
Certain refinements:
He’s now a young girl from Bordeaux

His girl friend who hailed from Paree,
Called round the next morning to see.
She said, “I suppose,
Now you’ve one of those,
It’s lesbian marriage for me

Here by the bay
I lay and pounder
Sun rising and setting

I dream of dreams
Of knowledge of kings
Of divinity of Gods or higher beings

Of a love; sweet and gentle-
of a Female kind--If you dont mind. 

Here by the bay
I lay and pounder
All day I do wonder

Here by the bay
I dream of a girl
So very sweet and totally gay!

To kiss and love
To hug and snug
To enjoy and lust
And to be comforted til dusk....

People

People who are gay
Are fun in their own way
People who are lesbian
Can be a wonderful thespian
People who are bi
Are ones able to soar and fly
People who are transgender
Are ones who can be love contender
People who are non-binary
Are special and don’t conform to the binary
People who are pan
Are great and those who can
But these people are not liked
So they’re discriminated and reputation piked
