LGBTQ+ Poem: Danncing with our hands tied, by Samantha Orozco-Reyes

Darling?
You’re as beautiful as the day
and just as gorgeous as the night
My heart aches for you
My love,
You have not but left me for a moment
and I miss you already
How I can feel your gaze upon the most gentlest touch
and your lips,

Well your lips have a burn to them
but my god it only leaves me wanting more
I will not be able to contain myself
so do not ask me to.

How I wish to hold you every night
and kiss you softly as you drift away
How I wish…
I may be the one to have this dance with you
instead of seeing you swept away from me
by him.
And I cannot change that
and I know you may feel indifferently
But that is just how the world is

But I will sway and I will say
I will smile at the way
that are we are dancing together
and yet i’m across the room, as do you
And you are smiling at me too.

But don’t be too careful, love
I want you to myself
I want others to write of our longing looks, one day
Even if it means we are to be caught
Running away?
Hiding in plain sight?
It doesn’t matter to me
As long as we love

Perhaps we are foolish to have fallen so hard
But darling you made it easy to.
