Sanki doğduğu günden bu yana durmadan duymuş da alışmış olduğu, insanın bozuk bir mideye, topal bir ayağa, görmeyen bir göze alıştığı, gene de arada bir acısını, eksikliğinin, hastalığının, sakatlığının acısını duyduğu gibi, alıştığı halde arasıra canını yakan bu tadı, bu mide bulantısı gibi tadı
Duruyor. Artık bunun üzerinde düşünmek bile boş. Yapabileceği tek bir şey var: Bu acı, yakıcı, öd gibi eksiklik, sakatlık, suçluluk tadının, midesinden ağzına yükselişini duymak, beklemek, susmak, katlanmak.”

“Midlife dynamically, for both straight and gay males, is often challenging as we face the reality that many of the dreams we had for our lives might not become a reality and unresolved conflicts come to the surface. For us to successfully transition in to the next phase of our lives we must find reconciliation of these issues. And for the gay male there is a sense that the gay self we have tried to keep in the closet or so many years begins to scream out. "Time is running out. When do I get to live?" You can't ignore that voice in the end, you can try and suppress it, and you can try and deny it, you can try and silence it by filling your life with other noises and diverting attention ......but that voice still exists. "Will my entire life be a lie?”

“Midnight's Toll by Stewart Stafford
As the lungs of our world burn,
SS Nero crashes on plastic rocks,
Kamikaze Captain Mann at the helm,
Safety is beyond our salvation.
As a loved one cruelly disfigured,
By a crazed passerby in the street,
The house we once loved as life,
Now a distant, renovated stranger.
Midnight's toll becomes due,
The malicious piper paid in full,
Only desolation, bones and dust,
Our necropolis legacy to the future.

“Midnight Steel
When Love’s steel draws near it doth but conspire,
And pierces she the hearts of all she holds and so desires.
Come thou, dear Love, to sleep, rest in your arms and dream but deep.
Help me to love all of my days, so that on sweet earth I may stay.
—Valkyrie Kari, Musings in the Night”
“MIDNIGHT
The stars are soft as flowers, and as near;
The hills are webs of shadow, slowly spun;
No separate leaf or single blade is here-
All blend to one.
No moonbeam cuts the air; a sapphire light
Rolls lazily, and slips again to rest.
There is no edgèd thing in all this night,
Save in my breast.”
Source: The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

“MIDNIGHTS
Don't remember many midnights.
Forgotten some of my best insights.
Can't recall some of the highest heights.
But I've memorized you.
Don't remember many daybreaks.
How many sunrises have come as I lay awake.
Don't dwell on my worst mistakes.
But I always think of you”
