Funny gay love poems
Love is love… is love. But that doesn’t mean “love” means or feels the same every time you experience it. Celebrating LGBTQIA+ love means acknowledging all the different types of feelings we have, whether it’s love-related love for a partner, adore for our community, love for ourselves or even love for a specific place. These poems celebrate queer love, whether that love is sweet, bittersweet or somewhere in between.
When You’re Feeling Wildly, Exuberantly in Love, Peruse Andrea Gibson’s Love Poem.
Love Poem contains all the agony and ecstasy of early love. From Gibson’s epically romantic declaration, “You are the moon when it blooms for the very first time” to their brutally truthful line, “It’s true when we argue you make me wanna rip off my nose, bone and all,” this poem celebrates both the highs and lows of a giddy new devote affair.

Short Lgbt Poems
A ConceitMaya Angelou
Give me your hand
Make room for me
to manage and follow
you
beyond this rage of poetry.
Let others have
the privacy of
touching words
and cherish of loss
of love.
For me
Give me your hand.
Hot And ColdRoald Dahl
A woman who my mother knows
Came in and took off all her clothes.
Said I, not organism very old,
'By golly gosh, you must be cold! '
'No, no! ' she cried. 'Indeed I'm not!
I'm feeling devilishly hot! '
A BookEmily Dickinson
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!
When You ComeMaya Angelou
When you come to me, unbidden,
Beckoning me
To long-ago rooms,
Where memories lie.
Offering me, as to a minor, an attic,
Gatherings of days too few.
Baubles of stolen kisses.
Trinkets of borrowed loves.
Trunks of secret words,
I CRY.
