River Flow: Featured Poem

 
RIVER FLOW

River Flow,
Carry me home.
Away from the fears;
Of holding you close.
It’s a tough love out here.
*
River flow,
Flush me out
To walk prides and paint my brows.
Break the iron bars of my closet,
Break me out.
It’s a cold place out here.
*
River flow,
Flush the angry looks in their skulls.
Drag the hate out and drown it by the burning rainbow.
Drown their boiling bloods in love.
*
River flow,
Flood us all to an island
Away from homophobic steers.
Away from fears.
*
River rise
Fight the 14 iron bars of time.
Drown all laws and lies.
Snap me out of wishful thinking.
Let me die a happy man.
Fighting for the freedom of my kind.
