Sex

If a spouse withholds sex

then yes

the spouse will explore

other means for desire of the flesh

If a spouse withholds sex

it is a power play

a hold

on the genitals

for which I disagree

Yet

if a spouse withholds sex

for the spouse is battered, beaten, or broken

why not

the spouse will go elsewhere for

the pure satisfaction of feeling loved

Yet

if the spouse withholds sex

for any other reason

then yes

the spouse desires the passionate

love of passionate sex

passionate love

eroticsm

the foreplay of love

Power play

If one has no desire for sex

yet holds it over the other's head

that is control

sheer control

Let him go

yet

my mind is made up

Choices are made

Energy flowing is off balance

who do I owe this to?

A past

A past of long ago

making amends

find the coffee

and the candle

making amends

letting the past go

if you believe it so

Beliefs

Beliefs

let it go

I believe in love

No compromises

What is alive today

Not dead

Yesterday

I have no beliefs

only love

lives inside of me

No compromises

my choice is made
