A love poem - ciao!

I’m not really sure what to do with this one, but a very moustached man emailed me today, asking if I fancied a chat - I hope you will understand why he won't be getting a response. He signed off with a ciao and a smiley face, and then wrote:

A Love Poem…

Title: Ardita Zanzaretta
Composer: Carlo Gesuadio

A bold gnat
Bites the woman who destroys my heart and keeps it
In such cruel pains;
Then it flees and flies back again
To that lovely breast which steals away my ear;
Then she seizes it and squeezes it and kills it –
A happy fate for it.
I shall bite you, too,
My sweet beloved, and
If you seize me and squeeze me, ah I shall succumb,
Tasting sweet poison on that lovely breast…”

Now, I haven’t got a degree in literature or anything like that, but I am pretty sure that this is more of a sex poem than a love poem, and seeing as it was sent by a middle aged man that looks a bit like Josef Fritzl, that makes it utterly inappropriate in my mind. These must be the sort of people that you get warned about meeting when you date online, and for good cause it would would seem. Delete.
