He walks into a restaurant and greets his lover with a kiss.
They sit down in a chair and they begin to reminisce.
Holding one another's hand as they order their meal.
Peoples misunderstood eyes are the look that they feel.
Eyes upon them from every direction.
Eyes of disgust and total rejection.
Two men in love who just want to be set free.
To live their life in complete honesty.
Without prejudice and hate from those who can't understand.
To one day marry and take one another's hand.
Happiness is something that every man, woman and child should be allowed to achieve,
Whether you are gay, straight or anywhere in between.
Open your eyes to the facts of life and forget about who a man loves.
It's soon to be the year two thousand and eight and you shouldn't care about what a man does.

beautiful piece of love. I am so happy to read something so sweet and tender like this. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem.

This is by far the best thing ever. its sex-tastic(it is and i really wanted to say sex lmao) really this is completely amazing and i am so happy that you entered it into my contest. It proves that going into 2008 and being in 2008 we have primitive ideas about sexuality.
very nice job

WOW - Love this write.
The ending brings out a strong message, and the scenery you placed these two men in is casual, realistic, and an everyday thing - really helps show the reader (if they are eerie of the matter) that it's nothing bad. It is just part of life, and the such. No one is gonna bother them ~ all that matters is peace. 
Great poem. Bookmarking!

Great job! I really liked this a lot. The flow and rhyme of it was great. I have experienced this same thing many many times, and its so sad that people cannot understand. This is such a good portrayal of that. Good luck and thanks for entering.

Right on!
Good job. A simple statement of a simple idea, which is very nice to see. The message of the poem and the execution of the poem itself are both nicely done, so good luck in the contest and thank you for entering. -
i wish the whole world thought like this

Awwww I love it. My BF would so agree too!

first off: "there" in the line "to live there life in complete honesty" should be "Their". Yay grammar, right? Also, the rhyming is a little... basic. I didn't see anything that struck me as that witty and brilliant. And the meter was a little off...
Now: I liked the blatant honesty. There weren't many frills as far as metaphor or imagery, but it works for this poem. The poem starts off kind of rocky, but as it continues the message seems to get stronger and you kind of get a hold on where you want the message to go.
All in all, I like it. It's very appropriate for the times. Thanks so much for entering! -
This is a really great piece of writing, and I wish more people shared these views. Well done and thank you so much for your entry, it's just what I was wanting to read

Wonderful. I just saw the title and knew I had to read this one. This is very moving and oh so true. I like the lines:
Happiness is something that every man, woman and child should be allowed to achieve,
Whether you are gay, straight or anywere in between.
Since I am a lesbian I can relate to this one in a way. I want to be able to marry my partner. The looks of rejection and disgust are common so that's something that alway will be there. Thanks for the excellent read. I loved it!!!!!

This is a great write. The last two lines are excellent. If people would concentrate more on their own things than they do "not passing judgment" things would be so much better.
AWESOME JOB!!
