Subject: Canticle of love between a boy and a man

The following song it is inspired by the Stanzas between the Soul(boy) and
the Bridegroom(man) of Juan de la Cruz. 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
