[konstskvaller]

Franz von Stuck (1863-1928) was a leading figure in the Munich art world, both as a secessionist and as an establishment art instructor. Although he painted fairly conventionally when it came to portraits, much of his work can be classified as Symbolist. In his case, symbolism was usually in the form of Classical or Biblical subjects. Stuck's Symbolist paintings tend to be dark, but he made some bright non-portrait paintings along the way, especially around the early 1920s. But he continued his dark Symbolism into the final years of his career.

93 hours in and I finally got the Across The Border achievement.

(They don't know I've been sneaking in illegally for the past 80 hours.)

dark sphinx in the boudoir

you turn your eyes to me

curl your lips into an impish smile

and stretching, feline,

challenge me to a riddle.

.

spine arched on the divan

you bid me approach;

my kisses collect the gold

which drips from the dancing candlelight

unto your shoulder blades.

.

I gather the tresses

that conceal the nape of your neck

and pull, asking for your enigma

but all you can muster

is a muddled koan.

.

I retort by wrapping my hands

tight around your waist.

you bite into the cushions

as I pin your wrists

against the small of your back.

.

you whisper that the answer is close

and unlock your thighs.

I part your lips

and trace the resolution

while, defeated, you moan

Was reading a page on Heinrich Heine’s poems and the wonky formatting created something really nice...
