I have had a look at your list and as most books are collections and the only poets mentioned are Shakespeare and Ovid so I cannot see if your collections include:
JW Goethe wrote “Roman Elegies” during his visit to Rome 1788. Charming poems of his erotic adventures in the great city. For us not very sexy perhaps but oh so beautiful! – Link to project Gutenberg http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/7889
Michelangelo Buonarotti wrote wonderful poems of gay love. We have in my language, Swedish, a recently published edition of these but I cannot find any information of an availible English selection on the web. You can find some information in wikipedia. – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelangelo
Thanks lustigkulle, I’m going to check out both of your suggestions. :-)
I like erotic poetry if the right woman reads it to me.

Hey A! I think I’d like erotic poetry even if the wrong woman read it to me.
Depends how dark it is. And how much beer I’ve had.
