Incarnations - 3. Musta been....


 

 

Musta been a Faggot
When I lived once before
Bruised and abused
Yet men I did adore

 

 

 


 

 

 

I’m just a teenager
Drifting on a lonely tide
Everywhere and nowhere
Eroded, washed aside

 


 

 

Musta been a Queer
In some past life
Shunned and beat upon
I’d known some strife

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

I’m never gonna be a man
My wings remain unfurled
Tethered and damned
Unable to face the world

 


 

 

Musta been a Nancy Boy
How prissy I was in my day
Bloody nosed and broken boned
A peacock on display

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

Lives once lived sing in my soul
Unborn lives reverberate
Living and Dying
Past and future -- my fate

 


 

 

Musta been a Queen
In a reincarnations past
Quartered and Crucified
Bet we had a blast

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

Reaching for the next life
Into the void with both feet
Earth to Earth and Dust to Dust
Unknown worlds to meet

 


 

 

Musta been a Fairy
Sparkle fading away
Babbling and drooling
The highest of the Fey

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

I wish I could have known
The me I was before
Would he be proud
Of the me I am no more?

Musta been...

 

I love how you own the words with negative signfication and turn them into something beautiful. I love that you don't bow at people. A daring and provoking poem, just like I expected from you.

 

This woke me up complitely. A mega brainstorm going on now.

 

My favourite of your three entries and I must add, this is gonna be hard one to topp but I'm giving the rest of the poems a fair try :)
