Sensuality

 Sensuality

 

I look at the morning sky,

And I inhale the scent of nature

Exquisitely;

Tenderness like an ecstasy

That a woman expresses in desire;

When eyes closed,

She bonds to her lover in an absolute dream,

In a pleasure that overflows the senses

In an embrace that makes the world forget,

Despair, fear and suffering.

The horizon is a fountain

Colorful and elusive.

The Sun as a hope rouses my blood.

I’d like to climb every hill of life,

And conquer all the mountains

Built with my sufferings and my destiny!

 (Kama Kamanda, Sensualité, oeuvre poétique, page 49)
