Oh fairest love, how blithe thy heart’s kindness
were we but bold, and worthy valentines
our life’s vistas, serenading thine eyes
devoid of judgmental limitations,
Oh modernity, heed our humane pleas
carefree flags soar, proud: like our romances
June’s not only month for Pride’s sweet colours
refute hate and choose, love’s warmth of oneness
