Black and white [Poem]

I somehow got inspired in the middle of my English lesson to write a poem about me being gay. It's called 'Black and white', and I'm currently using it to try and come out to another friend of mine. As in, I just sent her an e-mail with it attached..anyway, here's the poem.

One day from a dream I did wake,
And realized the colours were tinted:
They stood out, more vivid,
Conspicuous against the black and white background.

Every soul was the same:
They blurred a monotone grey,
Yet here and there were dots of hue,
And among them was mine.

Black craved white, and vice versa,
But I and the minority of colours
Could not have either.
They didn’t desire us; only each other,

Just as we colours desired each other,
Though we craved the same,
Not our reciprocal.
Pink reached out for pink, not blue.

 

Oh wow it was good? Thanks guys!

 

Right-ho, everyone; here's another one. It's called 'Eve's Lover' and it looks at sexuality from a more religious respective. Here it is:

It is a sin,
Or so I am told
By my parents: devout Christians;
By the Bible: for Adam desires Eve
And Eve is a woman.
Yet I, a woman, desire Eve.

I can’t help it: it’s how God made me,
And why would God create a sin?
They think I’m infected by the Devil;
That they can exorcise me
And make me ‘normal’.

They want to find me an Adam,
But I don’t want Adam; I crave the other;
That which is my like pole.
But just like a magnet,
Like poles are meant to repel.
Am I faulty?

No: I am human,
Not a piece of metal.
In my life, like poles attract
And two Eves are Yin and Yang.

 

Wow this is cool, like, thinking it helped someone come out the closet..thanks everyone!
