Antonio CANOVA (1757 – 1822)
Two intertwined bodies for Hylas and a Nymph?
Red chalk on paper
Eb 105.1116
Bassano del Grappa, Museo Civico
By design
Breath and bodies intertwine
Time and space just
Slip away while
Essence of taste is
Hot on lips
Electricity flares from finger tips
Sparks fly while seem to glow
White hot
Singe and tingle blushing skin
Bodies aching
Hearts pulsing
Sweet surrender is in the knowing
As lovers we melt
Into the pool of the other

by "design", i gotta agree.
But not mother nature's.
no.
some higher purpose...some greater reason...
we have emerged from Nature, blushing, and what , oh God,
what now?
phyllis, you're funny. Thanks for stopping by!
James, gotta love it. The complexity can be made so simple if we just stop over-thinking it. Yet none of it without risk...
