Long Dio Poems

“Nightingale and Roses”

the heart burst open
like a canary cracks open its cage with a song
listening to the nightingale with roses
flying like a throatful soul escaping 
from somewhere deep within,
soaring out the cavern measureless to man,
that...

leave me trembling, overcome by happiness,
as once, when I saw the Goddess in my prayers
eclipsing Cyprus.

Hai dias cuando
Pienso que el destino

Tan perfecta

Desde el enicio
Hasta nuestra derrota

Como me recuerdo
De tus manos
Tu calor
Pegada contra mis cachetes

Como...

Eros the god of eyes and the hidden feelings
shameful man with erect cock -- sighing sex
