Withholding sex from him she locks
her heart with the same keys she uses
when she locks the door to her thoughts
of him. He is a masterful locksmith however;
he will not be long gone from her arms.
Soon he will skillfully remove the doubt
she feels when his cold hearted words
enter the warm areas of her desires.
And unlike the victim of a theft, she will give
her valuables up willingly… and he will
as usual; pawn them for next to nothing.

I would like to translate this poem
Ted, that is almost cruelly written. Or harsh. Or something. Which means, of course, that I like it 'quite a lot'. t x
