I really don't know what to do with this. It's from a Spanish poet, I discovered it in French and got to prefer the Spanish original. I haven't been able to find the English translation.

    DEDICATORIA
    
    Más allá de donde
    aún se esconde la vida, queda
    un reino, queda cultivar
    como un rey su agonía,
    hacer florecer como un reino
    la sucia flor de la agonía:
    yo que todo lo prostituí, aún puedo
    prostituir mi muerte y hacer
    de mi cadáver el último poema.
    
    – Leopoldo María Panero

Of course it's Spanish and about sex, indirectly. I think I prefer the German poets and their poems about nature, the human struggle, etc. (I'm sure someone will provide some examples of German poets that write about sex)
