My dear June, you fill my mind with curiosity
The beauty of your body calls to me
Causing lust like none I have felt before
Just to have one more moment with you
My dear June, thoughts of pleasure course through my body
Your hair is like fine silk and your skin is soft as wool
I can vividly remember your sweet smell
What I would give to look into your eyes again
Spending that summer night with you
I will always cherish to the end
Making my heart melt away
And long for your forever more
The love we shared, both inside and out
Will keep my internal flame lit
You have a way of causing me to lose control
And releasing the gift I bring
Watching you sleep
After activities are done
Is so soothing, like an island oasis
A place that I could stay, day dreaming in my thoughts.
If I had never had that moment with you
My life would have never been complete
To live with a purpose is to fantasize
That one-day will shall be together again
Analysis
With this assignment, I choose the painting titled Flaming June. This painting was constructed by Sir Frederic Leighton. The main reasons I selected this painting was the excitement and curiosity that the painting brought to me. To me, this painting focuses on pleasures and seduction. It idealizes female figures in artwork. Leighton was able to leave the viewers minds open for their own interpretations. Seeing a partially nude woman within a thin piece of fabric can bring many thoughts to a person mind.
Within my poem, I was able to replicate the thoughts of a man whom had a night with June, filled with erotic behaviors. My poem helped to bring further understanding of the painting because it provided detailed descriptors of what had occurred, thus opening the minds of the readers to their own imaginative ideas.
