It has been written originally in Spanish and a friend help me with the translation. CANTICLE of love between a boy and a man Naked he lies Across my thighs. Strong arms close him round. His soft cheek rests Upon my breast. My hands Soft, silky skin adore. Love too will caress, The young smooth chest., Stretched long legs I part, and spread. While erect and yearning. I whisper in his ear, "My handsome boy, My sweet love". Surrender, without condition, Bound in deep communion, The lover and beloved, Blood of his blood, Body of his body, Back in time, First wounding mine Then bitter grief, And fear's regret. But still he comes Comes but to me Drawn ever to the sword That spilled white virgin blood. Drink, be drunk. Touch, be touched. A mystic state, Unfathomable longing love, It delivers him An offering to give. Moving me To embrace his vulnerability. I am clothed But by his touch revealed. His gentle hands Tender and tentative He bares my chest Then very soon His loving lips Do make my nipples bloom. As I cup him His narrowed eye doth weep. 1His happiness is my happiness His pleasure is my pleasure, His love is my love. He caresses my cheek Body hungering. I strong and sure Know full well what he must endure. His eyes are closed My finger lifts his chin "Look to me Your destiny " And through his eyes I see his soul I feel his fear. But my light burns bright And dissolves all to a mist 2My lips, his mouth, My hand, his cheek. His eyes fade to dark All dreads depart. Warm and moist `Gaist cool and dry, I kiss. The slimed snake Doth lubricate And opens all In answer to that native call. 3I take him up And hold him close. Like so we glide To new reside I spread him on a snowy sheet. Pure and white is my delight So beautiful And so bold. As we lie He sheds a tear A bleeding crystal clear 4With finger tip Precious drop I dip And spread it round The pinkish mound. Then I take That which I make And forge a confluence of our flows 5Letters written on the wind To sign a oath to open wide The path to paradise. Lust and love Rage and passion Pain and pleasure Propel us on. 6My lips touch his Both bathed by honey love. I wrap him round And then I lift To give my gift For what I crave Is one dark cave Where our pleasure will be one Contracting deep A gasp, one bleat. He does resit But I insist And drive on home To my abode Deep in the craggy cove He twists and turns He cries and burns But I'll not be denied. This gift he gave Will be repaid With my offering to him An there inside It will abide Until I decide To Go Please write to me if you like this song (alfredo247@hotmail.com)
