For me it's the Last Messiah by Peter Wessel Zappfe. A damn shame the rest of his work wasn't translated into english.

I want to write poetry well and don't entirely know what constitutes "good" or "bad" poetry. I wrote this today after speaking with a friend whom I hadn't spoken to in a while, what do you guys think?:
ΑΓΑΠΗ -
As illusion fades and eyes behold,
The truth is laid bare as a clear lens.
The mind no longer frets nor scolds
As true sight allows falsehood to end.
My heart is open, allowed to express
So bonds might grow like a tall oak.
Roots are made firm, binding hollowness
For this vessel to be remade in my kinsfolk.

Ahem I made a song on lgbt but they're arguing about trips and what counts as a trip it's not about me but anyways here it is Penis in the Moonlight by anon:
