Painting by Gustav Klimt 1907-08


Poem Artwork

I mold into your angular intensity
Love in right angles
within a haven that is solid as earth
but filled with light and air
that moves in open space
 
You coccoon me in circles of the sun
red centers of passion
spiraling in your kiss
Ripples of water
envelop my soul in deep waves


Cradled in your hands
I melt within your fevered trance
My knees no longer feel the earth
Trailing vines of ivy anchor my feet


My fingers clutch your palm
holding my face in tender longing
Time is now is forever
Can I exist without you?


If I faint on this mountain of love
you'll catch me, lay me down
among the valley of flowers
and pluck my blossoms
one by one


 



(c) Linda Gayton 2006

"Cradled in your hands I melt within your fevered trance" I especially like this line. We all need someone to really "melt" together with, for our passion burns hotter than fire and the thirst of our desire can seldom be quenched. Excellent write. Pierre.

Classic lines for a classic work of art and vice versa. Surely Klimt is somewhere smiling at this beautiful KISS shared between his painting and your poem.
