Seduction IV

In front of an open screen, a couple make love face to face on a bed. They are naked and their white flesh contrasts sharply with the bright blue bed clothes.

We’ve gone farther with the child from Wu.
Her eyes fell on me, and now I’m losing sleep.
Clouds and rain, a dream of love with a goddess,
And on waking the branch glistens like an orchid.

I'm loving this seduction series. Number 3 is a little more yin than yang. . . Yummy

That ol' glistening orchid branch -- it's the same steamy story round the world, no matter what geographical climate.

I love these poems! Where can I get more?

I don't know - sorry. There were a few in the exhibition but I think there may be a book available of the artist's work that may contain more...
