Can I, Yes I Can

Can I look at a man
And see the boy within,
...

You are my Golden Boy
Crowned
With a halo of sunshine.
Dreamer,
...

Will you come to the wild woods with me?
The wild woods where once we lay together.

Come to the wild woods,
...

The time has come
To bid old friends goodbye,
Without a backward glance,
Or question why,
...

I love to kiss you softly
When you are sleeping
And with each kiss wash away
The worries you are keeping.
...

Did my mother know,
When she taught me
How to sew,
That one day I would meet
...

The Angel of Retribution
Spreads her leathery wings,
Flaps them and draws you
To her cold hard breast.
...

Hardly Incest (Rap)

I ain’t your Mudda
You not my Fadda,
...

Lawrence John breaks the things
Which frighten him.
My love frightens him.
I know -
...

Once upon a time
We used to lie
Like a pair of spoons
Curled around each other
...

My hawk,
You watch, pale eyes hooded,
In the shadows
Waiting for the chance
...

You drank deep from my cup,
So deep you drained even the dregs.
Bitter dregs of past hurts,
Sour on the tongue.
...

My advice is this …..

Try love on for size.
...

Like the ocean I am
Drawn to your shore
But like the tide
You are still out.
...

Like the ocean I
Visit your shore, but like the
Tide, you are still out.
...

Northern boy, we met
By chance, now fate is laying
Down her deck of cards.
...

Once you gave me violets
Whose fragile beauty
Lasted but an hour,
Then wilted, but fragrant
...

One night there were two
Just John and You
Oh! And me,
In the middle
...

You have been my Knight in tarnished armour
With brow careworn and pennants torn.
Who has held me and loved me
From night to dawn.
...

You are my rock
I yield to you
You are my rock
Cleave to me
...
