Of course everybody knows that painting
I'm talking of The Kiss by Gustav Klimt
You know the one with the guy embracing
The swooning woman, or as
I always thought the dying one.
Did he kill her for having refused him ?
Had she killed herself on his return?
Those were the questions
I'd always asked myself,
When others only saw love.
Although a moving painting
It always disturbed me deeply.
I thought I was the only one to think so
Until today on 'Artists without Borders'
The work of Tamman Azzam was featured.
And suddenly it all made sense.
It's a case of a picture
Worth a thousand words.
