Coming Out – The Journey
This is the “depository” of all my blog entries and poetry that either led me through, to, or beyond the decision to “come out”, and continues to chronicle thought and feelings about this incredible journey.
-
misdirection
I’m somewhere north of Nashville; that’s all you get for now.
-
Shattered Pains
If there is glass between me and another world, something needs to change…
-
exulansis
beyond the shoal; awash, my soul…
-
Innocence Lost
A deal not meant for me, I bought; Account was mostly overdrawn.
-
Occasion
I’ve kept these words at bay for years; “Occasion” this shall be.
-
it may cost your soul
You can, of course, make choices, and…You can, but it may cost your soul.
-
innuendo
Angry Balls, my ass.
-
Winged Haunt
Other creatures fly with far less hope.
-
growing into your name
Really, my friend, I so wish you could see; You are as firm as your nameplate to me.
-
Lachrymose Vodka
Those should have been mine to cry
-
to what we never tried
With so limited a vista, no wonder I haunt you! I’ve nothing better to do.
-
Norman Doors
Norman Doors confuse and are begging to be pulled… pushed?
-
wave goodbye
Great Waves of contradiction meet in foam, the after-spray falls cool and wet on your face.
-
the climb
The ladder takes me up to where? A too-small portal waiting there.
-
wrong turns?
I now own my road And revel in its redemptive reality. And that will make all the difference.
-
deafening whispers
At first, the whispers are few and quiet.
-
Sonnet XXII – adieu to much ado
I’ve heard that stupid is as stupid does; so I am done with “doing” stupid now.
-
Head Squared
Freedom is strange… New.
