Thank you, Parker. So many of Platen's Sonnets speak directly to the Gay Experience, and I feel honored to provide some updated translations of them. As you know, I'm working on completing the entire set (well over a hundred). I'm down to the final three or four, and it's hard going. I hope I can bring all of my versions up to the level evident in the poem above. Thanks again

He wasn't, really. Just 46. Which I suppose could be considered old, if you're particularly young. Although many of his popular works, he began writing in his twenties.

. Sappho 9 (numbering per Mary Barnard) So what if we are nothing but a sighing breath living on words. For the words I now inhabit are the breaths never meant to die. _

Thomas has been advised that Adam admitted guilt and he is in jail. His family still hate him but no one is allowed to contact him. It is over. Thomas is deflated that it had to end this way but he is free now and that is a very strange very nice feeling. He has been resting at home and now he was healed and was back to work. Time does not fly when you are stuck in the house bored. It felt like ripping off a bandage coming b

I'm afraid I understand Mitch all too well. When you grow up in an environment that's so hostile to being gay, it does seriously bad things to your head. Low self-esteem doesn't even begin to cover it. Try NO SELF ESTEEM, and you think good things ARE NOT for you. I thought I was biblically Evil with a big "E" and on the Highway to Hell. If you're on that kind of ride, might as well enjoy it. I did the drugs, sex and rock & roll thing until I was sick with it and of it. I made Mitch look like a shy Catholic school girl in comparison. That I'm still alive is nothing short of a miracle.

Just imagine the fun the gang could have with a bunch of discontented leprechauns...

I had problems with this chapter. NOT the writing, but the sudden, unexpected violence during something as innocuous as meeting a new friend's parents. It gave me a nasty flashback and left me shaking. It reminded me entirely too much of a similar episode. That kind of stuff that leaves marks. If Pete doesn't get some post-traumatic symptoms out of that, he's a frikkin Terminator. Did he have to be named... Jimmy?

Yo, Pagey! How did it go with Maxwell?

He can't reach one, nor the other.

Awww! One day I'll tell you the story of how she proposed. And don't worry. I'm sure the top for you is around the corner.

Thank you for a powerful, life affirming conclusion. Otis and Hudson confessed their love and desire to spend their lives together. They w/ill be good for each other.Otis has been exceptionally resilient enduring so much pain and isolation and silence . His grandmother was a kindly saint who transformed Otis into a real human being . Hudson knows he was his guardian angel who saved him from Keres and will now continuing strenthening, saving and loving him. I would love to know how they prosper and move ahead.

No problems? I doubt it too. As a matter of fact, I'll guarantee there will be more problems, hehe. It's not just a year, it could be as many as nine if I get to and through the college years. 🤞

Thanks for the new story. Is captivating from the start.

Jared has been taken into Oscars close circle of friends who know about the retreat.

Thanks. There will be another one in about 2 weeks. Maybe a couple in a row.

CARTT Chris and Rob try Tony TODAY

Nooe never have I had sex in a tent

Well, that is just a little too late, he uses nukes!

I cant even began to guess!

Well that escalated quickly, when someone is in a blind rage they cannot see reason, it was no excuse to assault his son or Pete , and then we have turners father who just has crop up in the mix , that town is most definitely homophobic or has plenty of them living there. Then Mitch turns up conveniently he also deserves a face plant
