Aureate Avalanche


Gold leaves glitter
like sunshine ensnared in eternity.
Two figures dissolve 
into dulcet pattern,
bodies consumed by radiance
of gilded avalanche.
Only the kiss remains,
surrendered to self,
a petit perpetuity
between two mortals
in aureate suspension
of a moment stretched to forever.

Squares and rectangles cloak 
the masculine frame of strength.
Circles and blossoms 
veil the feminine flow of grace.
Together they tessellate,
the lattice of longing,
the geometry of flesh,
suffused with shimmer of silence.

Inspired by The Kiss by Gustav Klimt
