No matter how the less enlightened among the heterosexual majority might try, you can’t keep a free spirit down…
G-A-Y (ANOTHER) TRIUMPH OF THE SPIRIT
Some
readers may be interested to know that have posted Chapter 1 of a new
serial, Catching Up with Murder: a novel in three acts on my
fiction blog. Hopefully, those readers who enjoyed Predisposed
to Murder will also enjoy meeting up
with many of the same characters and discovering how they first came together.
Catching
Up with Murder is available in
paperback from amazon and could well be described as a black comedy in parts;
it is not a gay novel as such, but has a strong gay story line that becomes
clear and takes off in Act II:
No matter how the less enlightened among the heterosexual majority might try, you can’t keep a free spirit down…
G-A-Y (ANOTHER) TRIUMPH OF THE SPIRIT
Once I was scared to admit I am gay,
for falling victim to a parental dismay
that might see me retract what I say
In nightmares, I’d confess I am gay,
family disowning me, driving me away;
friends, too, let ignorance win the day
Alone I would struggle with an identity
taunting me with its desire to be free,
haunting me with a passionate cruelty
I was hostage to the old misconception
that would trust a blinkered perception
of life and love than the heart’s intuition
Then I met you and learned to see again
as if through a sweet-smelling misty rain,
tears of Earth Mother nurturing her own
My heart, it opened its petals to the sky,
heaven glad to absolve a sorry soul its lie,
let truth, to these lips, unashamedly fly
Though some condemn us for being gay,
love and friendship will always find a way
through seasonal mists, come what may
