Terror starts from me

So you’re straight?
Congratulations!
Though you are aware that there are others with preferences different from yours.
Should anyone have to die for their life choices?
What’s really normal? That thing you do in the shower, your bedroom or on the kitchen table?
Who knows about your fetish, quirks and strange antics?
Should anyone be judged for expressing themselves in a manner that comes naturally to them?
This is not about your sexual orientation, religion, country or parents.
This is about innocents being silenced…not allowed to BE no more.
This is about how we often kill the free spirit inside of us by not allowing ourselves to truly BE.
Terror starts from me. 
If I can’t accept my own sexuality, I can’t accept that of others. I can’t do for others what I can’t do for myself.
People continue to live diminished lives closeted amongst us, while we, the so called ‘straight’ or ‘normal’ majority dominate and determine what goes and what does not by creating our own mental blocks and constructs.
Let this not fade in the shadows.
Let’s expand, let’s accept, let’s liberate OURSELVES from being terrorists in our own ways.

Brew

Morning dawns...

And I scramble
Like an addict looking for her fix.
Light up the flame
Whip out the milk
Leaves from the hills
Whose freshness I yearn
Maybe it's their energy that I crave.
The mountains are calling
And I must go.
Life is waiting
I must wake up,
Look at it eye to eye and say,
'Take a hike with me.'
That mild sweetness in my cup
Bees that have rambled and traversed
This dying breed I seek.
No ties and shackles of slumber
The cup that I drink from world's left behind
From ventures anew
My daily fix...this morning brew!
