| Pablo Picasso - Girl with a Mandolin |
I.
naked and vulnerable
offering you fragments
of my heart
II.
strumming heartstrings
seductively pulling you
into my embrace
III
music opens our world
together we are in tune
a work of art
IV
upon soft lips, a song
blooms under moonlight
in desert sands
V
sipping Merlot, black cherry
& sweet plums, savoring
the moment we become
unstrung
VI
touching the curves of my body
softly stroking my neck
loving fingers, dancing to
the rhythm of desire
VII
holding on to dreams, our songs
we dare to soar beyond the stars
discovering the mystery of us
drifting in a musical eclipse
authors note: I was inspired by
this artwork and of course I
put my own spin on this
cubist style poem.
Thanks for visiting!

Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone completely beyond... (the Heart Sutra), came to mind when I read these wonderful gems.

Isn't that sensuously romantic. It certainly looks also a cubist take, True!
