Lover
With that shameless naked body
Stood
On his strong thighs
Like death
Restless lines
Chase his strong body
In its great shape
My lover, one would think
Comes from
The generation of forgotten legends
* * *
In the corner of his eyes
There seems to be an archer
Awaiting, to hunt stray riders
In his sparkling teeth
Lays a tiger
Smelling the warmth of blood
My lover
Like nature
Has relentless clear meaning
He
With my defeat
Proves the true logic of power
He is wildly free
Like a healthy instinct
Cast away in an island
My lover
Like a Buddhist god
From the beginning of his existence
Has been a stranger
He is a man
From centuries ago
A reminder of true meaning of beauty
He, in the space around him
Awakens constantly
Innocent memories of childhood
He like the lion's roar
Is furious and bare
And he does love innocently
Particles of life
Particles of earth
Sadness of human
Sadness of birth
My lover
Oh he is a simple guy
A simple guy, who I found
In the doomed land of wanders
Like a last sign of some great religion
And then I hid him
Somewhere in the caverns of my heart
