His hidden desires, masked in timeless beauty,
beckoning his lady to a moment of ecstasy.
Succumbing his advances, lost in time,
where his powerful urges set her free.
A union grazed upon never-ending emotion,
flowing from within the souls of two.
Submissively knelt into his love
to accept their partner-ship that grew.
I'll escape one brief second, for you to see
that this endless love is meant for you and me.
Author notes
Prompt: Picture- The Kiss by Gustav Klimt 1891
Some believed interpretations of the picture...
That the common gold shrouding, and indeterminate background evokes the timelessness, and union of selves that a kiss can engender.
That it represents how bright, beautiful, and golden everything is when you first kiss someone.
That the man is lost in the kiss (faceless and unidentifiable) while the woman is turning her head away and is aloof from the kiss.
That the female is succumbing to the male and experiencing a moment of sexual ecstasy.
