How Do You Know

They say I can't intimately love my sister

They tell my brother a similar thing, 

You can't love a fellow man 

They say it is not in our culture


They lie

They lie boldly

They just sit on us

They sit on our feelings

They force us to be what we are not

Because someone thinks it's wrong to have our kind of love

This person goes to preach it to all

Casting away out kind of love

Lifting up their own

Isn't that selfish 


How do you know our love is evil

How do you know our love is not real

How do you know our love is wrong

And how do they know it is only their kind of love that is real


Who told you our love is wrong

Have you tried our kind of love

Did you experience

Did it not work for you

I guess the same happens in your kind of love

It is our choice to love who our hearts beat fast for

You cannot dictate that


Procreation you claim!

Oh nooooo

That is not a primary reason to be together

Companionship

Happiness

Partnership

We seek for that!

For that person we are at peace with

That peace knows no boundaries


Leave us to love how best we can love 

Leave us to love that person who makes us feel whole

Love knows no rule

Love is pure

Love is to be experienced

Love and love who you love
