Nine days pass.

I am tied up
Wrapped in pink ribbons and
Tulle and
Lace

Point and Arabesque
Settled gracefully
On your razor wire heart-scape.

I am split-minded
the left hand
draws circles
around you and I
Warm and bright

The right clenches tight
knuckles white
grabbing at silver light
radiating from my chest
soft and bright.

You whisper
words silk in my mind
"Will you dance with me?"

Earthquake heart
and my world is shaken.
Spinning slowly
I begin to fall.
Ask MeAsk me if I'm a man and I'll say yes,

Ask me why I answer so quickly and I'll gladly tell you.

I've been male since before I was born,

I've just been waiting to show everyone.
What Love DoesEveryone says "love does strange things".
Everyone says "love is divine."

LOVE does more then that.
LOVE leaps the divide.

When we married for MONEY and for NAMES,
When we married for CLASS and for LAND,
When we married because someone came from not THERE and from HERE,
When we married based on COLOR and on GENDER.

We did not love,
We did not dance,
We did not dream.

When LOVE decided to dance, we leaped the DIVIDE.

We leaped the divide of MONEY. We leaped the divide of NAMES.
We danced across the river of CLASS. We danced across the river of LAND.
We jumped so high we got over FROM THERE, and then we leaped so high we touched t
Day Without A Gay by KoichiLGBT critics often say, "I wish all those Homosexuals would just disappear". Okay. So, like, what if we did? What if we all just up and disappeared? But wait- your mom's gone. Your dad. Your brother, your sister, your best friend. Not so nice anymore, is it? Imagine if you wished them away, and you couldn't get them back. Sure, your perfect Heterosexual ideals would be upheld, and same-sex love would be a memory. But look and see who isn't there anymore. All those people who mattered, gone. So the next time you wish we'd disappear, think about that. Be careful what you wish for- you might get it.

Supposed to be very, very roughly reminiscient of a brush painting, therefore meant to be somewhat messy. This is going out to the people of Japan in the aftermath of the earthquake that hit not even a day ago now. Many lives were lost, including talented people who cannot be replaced. The blood of those taken from this world should remind us that life is short, unpredictable, and precious.

Done in about one and a half hours using GIMP and my Wacom Graphire

question: does this have anything to do with the "LGBT-on-dA" group?

I saw the film of the tsunami.. It's insane how much damage happened in just one day.
I'm hoping that at least most of the missing people are found and alive.
