So It begins....

Perhaps I am a fool or some kind of jester but my writing is sweet poetry. The thoughts that enter my mind and over power my desires compel me to act irrationally. So I beseech you, Internets, hear my call and let my poetry be super awesome.

Well now that I'm done praying to the all powerful Internetus, let me introduce myself. I'm Catullus and write about stuff. Awesome stuff. And today I met this chick at the forum and she totally digs me. So here's the first of hopefully many of my poems to her.

PASSER, deliciae meae puellae,
quicum ludere, quem in sinu tenere,
cui primum digitum dare appetenti
et acris solet incitare morsus,
cum desiderio meo nitenti
carum nescio quid lubet iocari
et solaciolum sui doloris,
credo ut tum grauis acquiescat ardor:
tecum ludere sicut ipsa possem
et tristis animi leuare curas!

Yeah I write in Latin, but only because I'm edgy like that. But here's a translation for all you barbaric heathens who can't talk the talk...

Sparrow, my girl’s pet,
With whom you play, when in the soft fold,
Whose attack upon her finger tip
And only provoke a harsh bite,
When I long for my shining
Joke to be pleasing which I know not,
And comfort your pain,
I believe, that then your severe tension subsided:
When I wish you would play the same way with me
And soothe my mind of my desire for you!
They bear As much as my girl is pleasingly
Leggy flees the golden apple,
Which loosens her belt.

Well that's the end of the first installment so I hope all you soon to be fans like it. And don't worry, I'll keep you posted on how it goes with that chick. I think her name was Lesbia.

Catullus out...
