You drank deep from my cup,
So deep you drained even the dregs.
Bitter dregs of past hurts,
Sour on the tongue.
...
My hawk,
You watch, pale eyes hooded,
In the shadows
Waiting for the chance
...
As for humour
There’s a rumour
When you’re blue
What you should do
...
I often wondered
If it was really “true love’,
Did the light in my eyes
Awaken your heart
...
Where are those hands now
That once caressed with pleasure?
Around another woman’s hips
As you move close to kiss her lips.
...
We made a vow
To never part
We had a row
You broke my heart.
...
Once upon a time
We used to lie
Like a pair of spoons
Curled around each other
...
When passion has died
And the only remains
Are the dying embers of love,
We sometimes find that friendship
...
My friend, mein freund
For one and thirty years
You remembered my innocence,
Guarded it carefully
...
Are you tired of travelling
My blue-eyed boy?
Do you long for comfort
Instead of passion and joy?
...
