Poetry: They Tell Me of Saints

Tags: , , ,

This article was submitted by TNG contributor, Jeremy Pace

All I know

Is that if I can’t be with you

I will spend the rest of my life looking

For someone who looks

Sounds

Behaves

As you do

And if god put you on this earth

A straight man

And I a gay man

In some cruel joke

It means no less that I am yours

But only that I will spend

My days and nights beside you

In love

And friendship

And never kissing you

Not knowing you in my arms

Never touching you

In that way

Will be my penance

And I will die a martyr

But they tell me of saints

Martyrdom is a must

And so I will die

Saint Pace

The Patron Saint of Peace

Because I cannot stop smiling
