I have never given up,
on my solemn oath and dream,
to transcend monogamy
and the monotheists scheme!
I believe you can love
more than one at a time,
that you can love your own sex,
is a mountain we can climb!
I barely mention this,
for I have been beaten for it,
but the dream is worth death,
I truly do adore it!
I hide my dislike of marriage,
when it's only one on one,
because it has cost me jobs,
and sent me on the run!
I do believe in marriage,
if it's three or more,
for only in wholeness can
everyone find loves door.
No jealousy or envy, no slavery,
no more men wholly in control,
real love, between equals,
coming truly from the soul!
Let me burn in Christian's Hell
if that's what i must now pay
for polyamory and loving more
to see the light of day!
Author notes
It's hard to talk about feeling this way, especially since it makes people judge you almost instantly, and so many confuse a real love between 3 or more people with swinging, or simple polygamy. It is none of the above. Visit www.lovemore.com for more information or explanations.

This is a really nice poem in my opinon! You used a creative theme and really brought feeling into it! You used imagery and didn't make it cliche, which is what I like, and you really pulled off the rhyme! Excellent!
My one complaint:
You forgot to capitalize the "i" in the third to last line. I know this is very minor, but it was bugging me.
Thank you for entering my contest!
