I decline

To be touched with lust

For this canvas

Is to be painted with love

I refuse

To be the object of sin

Instead I want to be

The subject of defining beauty

My skin

Is to be caressed

Not to be marked with bruises

My hair

Is to be stroked gently

Not to be pulled savagely

If only you understand

The stimulation of desire

Then….

You will express passion

Gracefully….

Beautifully….

Blissfully…..

Filled with romance
