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
...
Like the ocean I am
Drawn to your shore
But like the tide
You are still out.
...
The Angel of Retribution
Spreads her leathery wings,
Flaps them and draws you
To her cold hard breast.
...
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
...
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.
...
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?

Can I, Yes I Can
Can I, Yes I Can
Can I look at a man
And see the boy within,
Can I look at a boy and
Love the man
He will become,
Yes I can,
Yes I can.
Can I look past
The lines of worry,
See all the times
That made him sorry
To walk away,
Yes I can,
Yes I can.
Can I find the truth
In this mis-spent youth
Un-weave the threads,
Release the dread
That lies beneath,
Yes I can,
Yes I can.
Can I see a future
For this boy-man-child
Rekindle his hope
Without taming what's wild,
And give him life,
Yes I can,
Yes I can.
