The painful poignancy of desire

Klimt's women

Elongated, sinuous forms, golden leafs
Pressed between quivering lips
Caressed by the fugue of your fingertips
Kissed by the intangible touch
Of eyes filled with insatiable desire
Thousands of eager sirens can't
Quench the thirst of your parched needs
Their elusive, tempting, slippery bodies
Glide silently into all of your dreams
As waves of emotion moisten
Only for a brief, fugitive moment
The inconsolable loneliness you feel.
