Her Beautiful Neck

Interpretation from workshop exercise of Frida Kahlo's "What I Saw In the Water" painting

 

 

 

It is the masked man that holds the cord around her beautiful neck

He is the master of her fate and by his sexual passion she is captured

Gingerly raised in a gentle wind while he whispers of their bond unfractured

Landing only after they each blissfully have reached ecstasy’s aftermath

 

As the master of her fate she is dependant on his sexual passion’s fixation

As she is entangled by soft touches and drinks from his lips she is hooked

It is ecstasy’s aftermath upon which they have reached their landing

Bathed in pillow talk by lovers in secret gardens listening to babbling brooks

 

Entangled in deed as she touches his lips it is her body he drinks in

They are a recreation of Adam and Eve before it was to the earth they brought sin

While listening to babbling brooks the background music of their lover’s garden

How can his love be the object of her torment simultaneously her heart is gladdened?

 

If he be Adam then it is her duty to bring him the fruit of her glorious rapture

She will lead her one woman crusade to somersault from slave as she will be master

In his eyes she can sense the weakness as the sentry to his heart he loosens

With mask in his hand the man no longer holds the cord around her beautiful neck

I am confused by this piece because, while written in stanzaz, it lacks punctuation within, that mars its reading.
