Notes About The Poem

Klimt   https://www.gustav-klimt.com

Symbols of Love

A kiss
     symbol of love 
nouveau

    suggestive  descriptive,
of time 
          immemorial.

love 
            upon a cloud
of gold
      lost in that moment 
       where
 time
      does not exist

One with the other
alone
and yet 
       desire &need
 in      love’s 
power

    to exist
caress
   & cuddle

this 
     drama of
love
      gilded
mosaics
    silver
pictured ceilings 
    wall friezes 
      erotica 
            on show
