Don’t believe it’s too late
Be unrelenting when pursuing your fate
And if at any moment it seems unclear
Have no fear, the best is still there

Read this words and tattoo their meanings on your soul
Never look out of yourself for what will make you whole
Be at ease and breath in the light and fresh air
Float out of strife and never forget that grace is always near

Darling would you be reborn for me
I’m growing weary having not seen you in so long
I promise that despite my faults you would be free
I’m dying slowly and I don’t know how I can hold on

Your hand in mine makes this self come alive
I know I’ve shunned intimacy and you must think me a pretender
But this body has had to devise various stratagems to survive
And here I confess that this heart demands something tender

In the spirit of wild roses plucked to deliver to a wife
I’ve blossomed to reveal these secrets under the night’s skies
So let heaven be witness to a passion on which I stake this life
Because no stars light up the world like the shine I find in your eyes

This is what I’ve previously communicated in whispers
For a fear of being misunderstood and to save face
But how may this heart begin to know you whilst being an over thinker
Here, I must resist hammering on, let me give you some space

They tore me apart and left the ocean in my eyes
A love clot buried deep in my heart,
How do I live on when what I love, by my hand dies?
How else can my fractured mind confess to truth
When what the world wants is more and more lies?

I’m an island; inhabited but alone
Even though once I had been called man
This world no longer feels like home
I’ve dreamt of a heart from which love would never part
But what is freedom worth if it’s all my own?

This is the prayer I will in my being
With strength enough to raise the seas
“That nature remains, in spite of time
A gay reality unbereft of life’s glee
Technicolor filled skies and love among all human beings”
