This was supposed to be a birth poem. But it didn’t turn out like I wanted. Still I like it.

The following poem is from a collection of 41 written by me to try describing Huntington’s Disease (HD).

Some of the symptoms of HIV/AIDS incude weight loss; lack of energy; short term memory loss; siezures and lack of coordination and confusion. They happen to be similar to the symptoms of HD.

I’ve heard of at least one gay couple where one of the partners started to show symptoms of HD but he wasn’t aware of his family history. Despite both knowing they were not sleeping around the automatic assumption was HIV and they got tested for it. As you can imagine, before HD was finally diagnosed, there had been a whole layer of issues to be dealt with by them both.

This poem also notes HD affects people regardless of their gender, age, race or sexual orientation.

Funny have fun no its not a pun.

An unexpected love story.

Time to allow us to speak for ourselves.

Love thou is sinless.

My Opinion.

A poem about two men who love eachother enough to swap aids and keep on living despite the odds.

A man and his lover.

This is not about cruelty to children perpetrated by adults. This is about the cruelty that children often show each other. I began thinking about this after listening to an episode of “This American Life”.
