Josephine Dunn Poems

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
...

I did not mean to hurt you
My Love
With my words of criticism,
Only help you
...

When passion has died
And the only remains
Are the dying embers of love,
We sometimes find that friendship
...

I couldn’t love my Mother
Till she died
Her face was disbelieving
When I lied.
...

Hardly Incest (Rap)

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