Stal je tam ob vodi
mišičasto telo se je lesketalo na soncu.
Odsev v mirni vodi, zrcalna slika,
ah, kako srce zaljubljeno v pogled – utripa..

Njegova oblika, kot Adonisova,
grški bog je oživel pred mano,
gol in brez sramu se je razkazoval
v pričakovanju občudovanja in čaščenja.

Izklesan kot kip najboljšega kiparja
pil sem iz pogleda pred seboj.
Mojstrovina moškega telesa, zaljubljen,
naenkrat v grškega boga – vizija antične lepote.

Nenadna želja me je skoraj potegnila,
da sežem in se ga dotaknem
da grem z rokami po telesu izklesanemu
in se prepustim prepovedanemu objemu.

A žal, je bil samo privid,
bežna fantazija tam ob robu vode.
In ko je sonce zašlo v meglice
sem vedel, da tega ne bom nikoli več pozabil.

Pogled nanj, na golega in popolneg boga.
Opomin na lepoto antičnega sveta,
utrinek nečesa božanskega.
Vrniti se moram, želim si dotika,
nekega božanskega sveta!

Adonis

I saw him there by the water
His muscular body glistening in the sun
Reflected in the still water, a mirrored image
I felt my heart quicken at the sight

His form, like that of Adonis
A Greek god come to life
Naked and unashamed
Waiting to be admired, to be worshipped

My gaze lingered on his chiseled features
As I drank in the sight before me
A masterpiece of manhood
A vision of Greek - masculine beauty

I felt a pull, a desire
To reach out and touch him
To run my hands over his sculpted form
And lose myself in his embrace

But alas, he was but a mirage
A fleeting fantasy by the water's edge
And as the sun began to set
I knew I would never forget

The sight of him, naked and perfect
A reminder of the beauty in this world
A glimpse of something divine
That left me longing for more.
