    Since everyone's posting their poetry, I thought I'd add this one. It's definitely pertinent to the community - a theme we will all know at one point or another..... Our straight soul mate friends who we can never have completely, no matter how much we or they long for it.

    My House

    My house has seven mirrors
    hanging on the wall
    every shape and size you need
    my house has these and more

    but instead of reflecting
    the sunset or the trees
    the face I've come to know and love
    is the only thing I see

    you're in my dreams
    you're in my thoughts
    you're in my fantasies

    but still I know
    deep in my heart
    that it can never be.

    we love each other
    with a passion
    that has never been before

    but something comes between us
    keeping things the way they are

    I know that you can't ever love me
    the way I want your love
    and I know that you want this
    just as much as I

    but we're destined, doomed to be
    just the closest friends.

    My house has seven photographs
    hanging on the walls
    and although they are perfection
    I can't help wishing for more.
