This work proposes a comparative reading of the poetry of Angolan writer Paula Tavares and that of Mozambican writer José Craveirinha in order to analyse the presence of eroticism in the verses of these poets. This research aims to demonstrate that eroticism manifests itself in both authors’s poetics through a seduction game and the subsequent meeting of the lovers, which sometimes becomes fugitive when intercepted by facts, specified and analysed throughout this text, which generate deep discouragement in the lyric speaker.
