Beauty Within

So far I know that the truth in 
me 
Tells me that it's so tangled 
with the love I have for myself 
and for my wife
She has lifted me when I had 
doubt
I questioned where I was and 
where I'm going 
But she's there to hold me 
tightly and say your great
I believe in you and will be by 
your side everywhere you go
Without this I know I could not 
do what I've done 
Learning everyday to use my 
voice for the good 
To fight for GLBT rights and 
social work justice
Those mean the world 
We are here for a reason and 
purpose 
I didn't know before
 I have grown to be aware
The beauty we hold within will
Keep us fighting and growing
For a cause bigger than 
ourselves 
Fight the fight and I shall talk 
the talk

My Hot Dogs

Two small dachshunds 
Fill my soul
They have their own 
personalities
One named Rocky 
Cute silver dapple
Smiles as he runs
And eats with delight
The other named Gavin
A tiny terror as he thinks 
He's bigger than his bite
His joyous times
Are also running and rolling
Chasing birds and anything 
That moves 
These are my loves as they
Continue to grow 
I'm a proud dog parent
Seeing and being
With them 
Brings me great joy

Earth

Equinox
Mother Nature
Minerals and ore
Sticks and stones
This is the time
Of year
To rejoice
Reflect
And give back 
To the earth
Who hold us near
Protect us 
This is the time
For a new beginning
A time of healing
Forgiving 
Rejoicing 
For today
Tomorrow 
And future

Melancholy

Some people are naturally born 
to grief losses in different ways 
mourn friendships remember 
the past in great detail and hold 
onto them as if the reality of 
yesterday is now today
 People naturally evolve onto 
their own growing 
maturing 
rectifying past mistakes 
and becoming better people 
others stay stuck in old 
patterns of being.

Your Love

Your words pierce through 
My inner core
Heart melting and defying
Gravity 
Hearing your sweet voice
Takes me into another
Realm of consciousness
I hear my heartbeat
Smell the air
Touch your soft skin
And here I am 
With this happiness 
Smiling from ear to ear
Looking at you
And realize you and I
Are soulmates
Together again from past lives
I'm happy we found each
Together

Little One

We have aspiration
Some day soon to have
Our little one
We are a gay couple who
Want to be loving parents
Raising a child 
Providing guidance and love
Security and confidence
Sharing and growing
We want our child to
Understand the complexity 
Of life 
And how to navigate in it
I've always dreamt of a future 
son whose name will be
Called Jaire 
Soon he will be with us
As we are getting one 
Step closer to making
This reality a dream come true
His love and our love will
Be showered in this world
We can't wait for this
Time we will hold him
Loving and sharing
Sharing and loving
We can't wait to 
See our future child
Our future son
We love you already
Your with us
We can't wait to
See you

Destiny

I often ponder what it
Means to exist in this world
Are people destined to live
A life of luxury
Are others born to suffer
Am I here to learn a lesson
Of humility and resiliency
I fight everyday to get
A little ahead
I've always dreamt of 
greatness 
It hasn't been easy in
My 34 years in this earth
I have one bachelors
Two masters and still
Have not reached my goal
Of financial security
Am I destined to struggle
Or does one have to put 
In the many hours 
Meet the right people
And have luck to earn
A decent living to not 
Only pay for expenses 
But to travel buy what one 
Wants and still have extra
I've always dreamt of my 
reality
As one with success
Financial freedom
And increase confidence
Waiting for this day
Growing impatient but 
One must dream and have 
hope
For the world has no 
explanation
It is what it is 
One is destined 
And one is made to be great
I'm ready and going full
Throttle ahead 
For this ride we call life!

Somewhere

Somewhere I know 
There is a reason
For this suffering
At times headaches
From people who
Are not conscious
Of what they say
And how they say it
Everyday stress
Bills
Financial barriers
Can I get there 
Why must I have to wait?
I see others buy a home
Buy a car
Go on vacations
Even have kids
I'm here waiting and waiting
Somewhere 
Somehow
I can't wait for this
To be me
In the meantime
I meditate and 
Say somewhere
Somehow
Someday
