THE LOVERS -VI-
There is a clearing amidst thick foliage where a naked couple stands wrapped in each other’s arms, surrounded by calla lilies. The sun is a glowing corona at the back of their heads; the sky, clear blue tinged with green, reflects the color of lush vegetation of the Eden below. As they look directly into each other's eyes, a form of communication over which they have no control occurs, a secret language that more than sex, excites and titillates them.
They seek an unveiling into a state of nature where all is accepted, and the self is perceived beyond the circle of naming. This release floods the soul with beauty and profound knowledge of life. The man's head is inclined slightly, a look of gentleness on him. He has strong, muscular arms that reach round her waist. Her left hand rests at the back of his neck caressing shoulder-length chestnut hair.
The fleece covered cheeks of his ass come to view; it's a tawny body and makes a fine contrast to her peach colored skin, her flame red hair and the pink aureoles round her nipples. She gazes at him, a look of serenity on her face as she purses her lips to accept the kiss she's waited so long for.
Upright: Unity, love, at peace with self and the universe.
Reversed: Outside interference, union aborted.
