Written for the contest Ess for the May 07 round, with the theme of "sexual preference".

NOTE: If you're offended by or just don't like homosexuality/gay marriage, don't read any farther.
I'd like to state that this poem contains MY opinion and feelings. If it differs from yours, that's fine. If you don't like it, don't read and comment. I really don't want to hear "bashing" of this writing, homosexuals, gay marriage, and the like. Again, this is MY opinion. Don't be a rude a**hole about this writing - even if you don't agree!



Love Has No Gender

I see men and women everywhere -
In love, together, without a care.

Walking on beaches, holding hands;
In churches, exchanging wedding bands.

But rarely do you see together, a man and a man,
Kissing on park benches where their love first began.

Or two women in love, who openly show it;
Not caring, letting anyone know it.

For a woman and a woman, a man and a man,
Weddings in churches? In many places, it’s banned!

For those who do marry, have children, and together grow old;
I want you to know, to me your courage is worth more than gold.

Deep down in my heart, in all honesty,
These things are beautiful to me...

These things that I rarely see and wish I could see more of.
Gender? It doesn’t matter - what matters is love.


2007-05-06 Eleanor: Ah, such a lovely sentiment. If only we lived in a perfect world. Nice work.

2007-05-06 Jenna Rose: Thank you.

2007-05-06 Annie: Hey, great poem, just wanted to let you know that on line 7 I think you meant two "women" not "woman." :)

2007-05-06 Jenna Rose: Thanks ^^ I thought I fixed that before I uploaded.

2007-05-08 Laika: More than courage it takes endless patience to explain over and over again why you don't like the opposite sex. x__X And tolerance for really, really insulting questions. I wonder why people don't get how big a part of me being a lesbian is. And now I'll stop ranting and spamming and get to school. :D

2007-05-08 Jenna Rose: People can be jerks/idiots.

2007-05-08 Laika: My daddy always says: "never blame malvolence for the acts of stupidity". Mostly people are just stupid or not thinking all the way through.

(nice poem, btw. :D and it's provoking discussion!)

2007-05-21 Shadowsong: i thought it was awsome Jen. Love has no sex, it's good for us to step back and remember that..

2007-05-21 Jenna Rose: I wouldn't call it awesome. I don't like that it rhymes anymore. o.o
