Laokoon
(Oak), Maria Kazanskaya, Summer 1995
You and I have woven
unbroken chains of love,
and in everything we find affinity.
Our thoughts seems to be in synchrony
like winds and tides.
In lustful hours, desire consumes
our bodies with the same energy,
and in this magic moment
we only long to feel each other closely,
like a tree bathed with dew.
Our mouths find each other easily.
All parts of my body
fit yours perfectly
and sex is a volcanic explosion
because we love
each other intensely.
