Man To Man Poem by Chris Embrick

I want no other man
He knows my deepest thoughts
We live soul to soul
His devotion can't be bought
He never once broke my heart
Although his was often broken
To others pain was not revealed
The heartaches left unspoken
When I cry, I see his tears
When he smiles, I smile along
We've shared an intimate life thus far
Apart, we'd have nowhere to belong.

De hombre a hombre
He's closer than a brother
The more I get to know him
I'd never want another
He's never let me hurt alone
Our dreams are one and the same
Through all our failures
We equally share the blame
When I laugh, I hear his laughter
His emotions are reliable
I'll not live without him
His love is undeniable.

We're growing old together
we've faced life man to man
The reason behind my every flaw
He clearly understands
When I wrote this poem
He consented to each line
He understands the mystery
Of just what I had in mind.

Love is transparent
Love speaks for itself
How can I love others
If I don't love myself.

Who is this man I love?
The answer should be clearer
He smiles back at me
When I look in the mirror.
