Little sista
finally sighed
little love of mine
he died
now his family
can weep
little sista?
love you, sleep...
little sista
pretty boy
burst of blisters
AIDS...in spoil
my love, my friend,
found end of toil...

little sista?
you lived
loyal.

How brave of him
to be himself--
little sista
free from HELL.


    *    *


*for Rene'--rest in peace my friend--and I noticed that your family still can't say "gay"--tsk...you taught me about being "real" my friend--love you*

and? I know I said I would catch up on my reading today, but yanno? I think I'm just gonna go somewhere and have a good cry and a smile or two...

I’m so sorry that you’ve lost such a special friend Karen. I’m glad that at least he could be honest in his life, even if his family can’t. When will the world learn that we’re all people… human beings with hearts and souls…no matter how we live our lives?? I’m sure he’s found his piece of heaven now...in peace forever. Hugs to you Karen, a lovely tribute you’ve written for him. I’m sure he’d be honoured.

Thank you...I came back to add that I did not wish for sympathy here...I did this because I told him I would!!! grinning, he WANTED this posted on the internet--it was his final "finger" to his family, who remain ashamed of his homosexuality. So Rene', tipping a glass to ya my friend, and gawd I wish you were here...(he would SO love the fact that I am going to see Wayne Newton tonight!)

Good for him…giving them the finger as his final wave goodbye!!! Roflmbo!!! I love it. I had a friend many years back who died of aids at the age of about 26, and his family always refused to admit his homosexuality. I’m sure he would have loved to have given this one finger salute too. May they be both be drinking a toast right to themselves right now, and saluting those who wouldn’t accept.
