The 4 poems that I still have from the year 1993 are blatantly homosexual & I am deeply proud of all of them.  I was 19 years old & still living with my parents when I wrote these & they were very open & honest about who I was.  The 1st poem is about 2 fictional men.  The 2nd poem was inspired by another boy I met at church, who I was completely infatuated with, named Rick Stomps; I didn't give the poetry to him, though the dedication now bares his name & I would gladly hand it to him today.  The 3rd was a continuation of the 2nd, which bore more material than fit neatly into a single poem & is amazingly adamant about its pro-gay stance.  And the 4th & final poem (that I still have) from that year was inspired by a magazine article that I read about models.
