No One Told Me Poem by James McLain

No one told me, I just knew.


Why can't I cross that time.
What would I pay to be free.
And what would happen to the tree.
Do you, can you feel, what I feel.

I know there are more like me.
Waiting to be heard their voices found.
Can you see how much I feel.

I feel like I would like to see her face.
that hides, 'Beethoven inside her skirt.
If you knew the amount of fire and ice.
That I feel for you as the music chimes.

My burning fire because now you know
That I am the same sex as you and girls

Forbidden lost it speaks of more than treasure
Whom makes a pirate walk the plank
Unbound the sail unfurls, it is pleasure
And beautiful full lips like mine and yours
were meant to explore more than mere words
could explain and when we speak our eyes.
