5AM, Halsted Street

by Twan - Aries

Incandescent I am, shielded to the light
finish the evening on a losing streak
But no worries, there'll be more nights,
Physically, I'm at a peak, if not the one I actually seek.

Hair waving gently in the summer breeze
You're grinning evily with glee
and then there's the saturday night where you forced me to my knees
Hey, this seems like fun! Whee!

I folded my arms and watched you adoringly
Made my bones in more ways than two
Sure I'm not conventional
I'm still here while the sky turns blue

I should be stoned. 
Probably talking about geef
It would keep my libido
from foundering on a reef

I haven't figured it out yet
My feeling for you won't fade
After all, I may leave
but I'll be back to stay

Or not.
Hit me so hard it raises a welt
But you knew exactly what was up
exactly how I felt

And yet I know how things work
It's not a line
Just remember, some years from now
I'm finally going to shine. 

I should have chosen Jimmy.

Reason for writing:

    A rather galling situation covered in my Myspace blog. Short version: I had huge feelings for a pair of latino guys (I actually hesitate calling them guys, as A) they were extremely feminine, B) they dressed in drag, and C) the term "guys" in itself conjures up sports bars and drunk, overly masculine assholes.)Anyway, these two inspired feelings in me equaled only by my exes and Jesse. This poem is a microcosm of the relationship between myself and Angel, I left a few events out and these are out of order, and I was never struck by Angel, but it nearly happened..some short version, huh?
