    About this ebook

    How does it feel to be separated by 6000 miles?
    How does it feel to know that you may NEVER meet your love?
    Pain, prayer, fear, frustration, hope, desire, little victories and moments of joy are all reflected in this anthology of our poems.
    There is much we could, would, should say. But even in this anthology of poems, for sake of our friends and family, we stay silent. When that silence becomes unbearable, like a hernia, it ‘pop-out’ as a poem. Its usually short, terse, quick and to the point.
    Those of us who live behind the closet door can’t afford long serenades. We can’t even afford to leave our poetic musings on pieces of paper – least someone finds them. We whisper our wishes in the ether and hope our lover hears them.
    Internet, Tumblr, Smashword have allowed us to breath and live a little. We can now plan to leave a few scratches on the sands of time and know that some server, somewhere in the world, will preserve our feelings on endless spools of tapes and backups.
    We live in hope that one day, someday, our feelings will be appreciated and understood.

    Huntern Prey

    Our conjoined name - HunternPrey - is a reflection of the fun we are having when we co-author our homo-erotic books. Hunter and I are soulmates who live and work thousands of miles apart. Our closets are very claustrophobic and if it wasn’t for the internet, we would have died frustrated old men, believing our fantasies were our own perverted purgatories. Thankfully, living in the age of internet has allowed us to live with sanity and dignity denied to so many LGBT people in the past. As one of our safety valves, Hunter and I write sexual stories together, adding to each other’s sexcapades. Sometimes we expand on a chance events. Sometimes we write about ‘WHAT IF...’ moment in our lives. Sometimes it’s purely fictional – a dream, or a nightmare, that would, could, consume us if we ever let it become a reality. We are grateful to SmashWords for giving us a platform for publishing our books under HM69 and HunternPrey. We are very grateful to https://pixabay.com, https://picryl.com and other sites for providing us with free pictures for our cover art.
