Then I Give Myself to Love

Gustav Klimt, The Kiss (1907-1908)

Then I give myself to love;

To bold imaginings,

Of perfect pleasures yet untold,

Of energies unleashed.

Then I give myself to love;

First sweet moist kisses,

Hands caressing, teasing, wanting,

And bodies – soft and hard.

Then I give myself to love;

To lips on breasts,

And tongues exploring

Hot, secret places,

And finding,

Flesh on flesh.
