Songs From A Tender Gay Heart is a collection of over fourty different poems that I wrote, most of them were initially intended to become lyrics to songs. Most belong in the genre of fantasy but all of them are deeply personal to me and talk about my innermost dreams and desires, some are of a lighter nature but many are very dark. In the case of the different versions of "Shadow Weaver", they are autobiographic. They tell about when I fell in love with a heterosexual guy and stayed in an emotionally abusive relationship with him for almost ten years.
